What It Is
Indian UAV subsystem engineering/integration company: propulsion, autopilots, GNSS-denied navigation, RF communications, parachute recovery and testing. Technology-partnership model indicated; which subsystems are in-house is unmapped. Drone Expo 2026 exhibitor. Value-chain position in the Atlas: Develops → Drone flight controller (L3); Develops → GNSS-denied UAV navigation (L3). Evidence discipline: this record separates company claims from independent evidence. Classifications above carry their evidence level; the technology-origin class is 'UNKNOWN'. Exhibiting at Drone Expo 2026 establishes market presence only — not indigenous technology, Indian manufacturing, procurement or deployment.
Deployments & Procurement
UAV subsystem, navigation and communications relevance (L3).
Import Dependencies
No import share is asserted. The items below are the dependency questions this entity sits on, taken from the Atlas UAS sovereignty table (Techadyant internal estimate) — they describe the layer, not this company's disclosed bill of materials.
| Component | Severity | Note | Pillar | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Partner technology | Unknown | Technology-partnership model — which subsystems are foreign is unmapped. | /research/drones-uas/ | |
| GNSS-denied navigation sensors | High | Camera/IMU sensors for alternative navigation typically imported. | /research/drones-uas/ |
Intelligence Assessment
Methodology: /research/methodology/
L3 — Company primary source. Scores rise only with independent or procurement evidence.
How strategically important the layer this entity sits in is (not how good the company is).

FAQ
What does Zerosum Technologies make?
UAV propulsion, autopilots, GNSS-denied navigation, RF communications, parachute recovery, testing. (As stated by the company unless noted; evidence level 3.)
Sources: [1]
Is Zerosum Technologies's technology indigenous?
Not established. Company origin is Indian; the technology-origin class is 'UNKNOWN': Candidate "System integrator"; which lines are partner technology versus in-house design is not evidenced.
Why is Zerosum Technologies in the Atlas?
It adds new information on the Subsystems layer of India's drone stack, surfaced at Drone Expo & Conference 2026. Presence at the expo alone would not qualify an entity.

Open Questions
- Who are the technology partners, and which product lines are theirs?
- Is the GNSS-denied navigation in-house (visual/terrain-referenced) or a licensed foreign product?
