What happened
The US drone company Powerus announced contracts with the Pakistani military following meetings between its representatives and Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir. The contracts involve licensing agreements for Powerus to manufacture its 'Guardian' interceptor products in India. Paras Defence and Space Technologies entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Powerus Defense in June to manufacture and sell the anti-drone systems in India, contingent on a license fee and a share of net profits from sales in India. Separately, the company stated it had received a limited procurement order from the Pakistani defence ministry for unmanned aerial systems.
