India's acquisition of 31 High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) drones from the United States (US) will reportedly be a phased exercise and will initially involve technology absorption. The first batch of 10 drones will be without weapons, and the establishment of three tri-service intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance command centers will focus explicitly on the country's northern borders, especially the one with China, reports said.
