Kochi, India: Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Arun Prakash will commission Indian Navy's first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) squadron here on January six.
The Naval chief will arrive on a two-day visit to the Southern Naval Command here on January six and review a ceremonial parade as part of the commissioning ceremony.
The Navy had inducted the UAV's here in early 2003 and had since gained expertise in operating the two variants of the UAV, said a release here today.
The ability to operate these flying machines remotely and without a pilot will go a long way in enhancing the surveillance capability of the Navy, it added.
