BSS Materiel has developed the Yamaduta, a rotary-wing armed UAV powered by an internal combustion engine, as part of India's initiative for indigenous combat drones. This platform is designed for tactical roles within the Indian Army, prioritizing locally sourced components to comply with military procurement bans.

The latest variant, Yamaduta-3D, features modular weapon interfaces for various payloads, including precision-guided munitions. Its rotor design offers advantages in endurance and payload capacity over electric UAVs, making it suitable for diverse operational environments.

The development aligns with India's UAV ecosystem and aims to enhance regional security capabilities. BSS Materiel's Dehradun base facilitates collaboration with local R&D and testing facilities, supporting national goals for import reduction. Future trials with the Indian Army and paramilitary forces are planned, emphasizing over 50% local content requirements.
