Context

City-based ‘Grene Robotics’ have designed and developed a 100% indigenous ‘unified, distributed and wide-area autonomous drone defence dome called ‘Indrajaal’.

About the drone defence dome ‘Indrajaal’

  • It is 100% indigenous ‘unified, distributed and wide-area autonomous drone defence dome.
  • It can protect a large area of 1000-2000 sq. km per system against threats such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), incoming weapons, loitering munitions and the like, autonomously.
  • Indrajaal's design principles are based on delivering autonomy to the defence forces leveraging a combination of 10 modern technologies powered by artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and robotics.
  • Indrajaal is capable of identifying, assessing, deciding, acting and evolving autonomously in real-time, round the clock.
  • Whether the threat is single or multiple or a combination of UAVs, loitering munitions and such, the system is capable of countering all such threats.
  • It can be integrated with the current weapons infrastructure.

Significance

  • Recent drone attacks in Jammu & Kashmir and the developments across the China border are sufficient indicators of usage of cutting edge technologies like UAVs and smart swarms and the country can ill-afford to depend on manual weapons or ‘point based weapons alone’.
  • About half a dozen or more Indrajaal systems with seamless connectivity can protect the entire western border from Rann of Kutch to Kashmir within a few months rather than install 300-point defence anti-UAV systems at a great cost.

Verifying, please be patient.
