MoD Signs a contract with Bengaluru-based Kepler Aerospace to develop the world's first ISR swarming satellite constellation

Kepler Aerospace will develop a “6-satellite Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) swarm constellation” for the Defence Space Agency, HQ IDS.

The satellites will operate as a self-coordinating swarm, tracking emerging threats, collecting high-fidelity multi-domain data, and adapting autonomously without relying on ground control or pre-defined commands.

The project aims to provide persistent, autonomous intelligence for the modern battlefield and beyond, transforming how India approaches space defence.

The constellation is scheduled for launch in 2027.

CDS Gen. Anil Chauhan said

“Operation Sindoor is not called off yet, it is on a pause.

Operation Sindoor for India the example of a Modern Conflict. It was a No-Contact warfare, where the 2 conflicting parties didn't come in contact with each other.”

CDS Gen Chauhan said.

“Operation Sindoor is the only example of a Conflict between Two Nuclear States. No where else has it ever happened before.”

The geopolitical order is in a flux. The US adds to the flux

“The global security situation today is in a state of flux. The world is transitioning between two orders. Amid this chaos, the U.S. stance adds to an additional layer of complexity, which we are all aware.”

India has reduced its missile production turnaround time from 10-12 years to 2-3 years, making a huge leap in technology -- Dr G Satheesh Reddy, President of the Aeronautical Society of India and former secretary to the Directorate of Defence Research & Development and chairman of DRDO.
