KAL, India's first indigenous long-range One-Way Attack (OWA) drone, was successfully flight-tested at Pokhran, Rajasthan, in September 2026. An OWA drone is an unmanned aircraft built to fly to a designated target and strike it, without returning to its launch point. Such systems give the armed forces a low-cost precision strike option and strengthen India's self-reliance in unmanned combat systems.
