Operation 777 is a strategic initiative launched in connection with the Kaal Bhairava autonomous combat aircraft programme developed by Flying Wedge Defence & Aerospace (FWDA). The initiative focuses on creating manufacturing and integration partnerships across 7 continents and 77 countries, strengthening India’s global defence manufacturing presence. Under this initiative, FWDA established its first overseas manufacturing facility in Portugal in collaboration with SKETCHPIXEL LDA. The Kaal Bhairava platform is a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) autonomous combat aircraft equipped with advanced features such as AI-driven target recognition, encrypted communication systems, and swarm coordination capabilities, representing a significant milestone in India’s indigenous defence technology development.
