Bengaluru, India – Adani Defense & Aerospace has significantly increased its defense preparations, in collaboration with the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to unveil the first vehicle-mounted counter drone system at Aero India 2025. did. Dr. BK DAS (Electronics & Communication System) of DRDO has launched it in front of senior defense personnel and industry experts. This new platform illustrates an important step towards Indigenous solutions to combat the threat of modern drone.
Drones became a game-changer in wars used for reconnaissance, intelligence reporting, and even aggressive operations. As these airborne threats continue to evolve, India is bolstering its games with cutting-edge technology to neutralize them. This latest counter drone system is a high-tech mobile solution designed for rapid deployment, offering protection against hostile UAVs with advanced detection and engagement capabilities.
Mobile Powerhouse to defeat enemy drones
The newly launched vehicle-mounted counter drone system is a highly mobile and self-sufficient platform integrated into a single 4×4 vehicle. The compact design allows for quick deployment to border areas, military bases and critical infrastructure sites. It’s not just a detection system, it’s built for action, allowing enemy drones to be defeated before they threaten.
The system includes multiple networks of high energy lasers for accurate neutralization, 7.62 mm guns for aviation marriage, radars for tracking and destroying drone activity, SIGINT, electro-optical sensors, and jammer networks. Packed with a defensive layer. Detect, classify and eliminate threats in real-time with operational ranges of up to 10 km. Whether it’s a single drone or an entire flock, the system ensures that India’s skies remain protected.
Adani Defense supports India’s push to independence
At the unveiling ceremony, Ashish Rajvanshi, CEO of Adani Defense & Aerospace, highlighted the importance of homemade defense techniques. “This system is a direct result of the growth of India’s defence innovation ecosystem. With the relocation of DRDO’s world-class R&D and the powerful technology (TOT) framework, we have been able to provide cutting-edge research and operational capabilities. It’s transforming into reality,” Rajvanshi said. He emphasized that Adani defense is committed to equipping the military with the latest indigenous defense techniques to protect its national interests.
Dr BK Das, a senior DRDO official who attended the event, highlighted the strategic significance of the new system. “Counter-drone technology is no longer an option. It is necessary. This system brings together multiple counter-drone technologies on a single mobile platform, allowing our power to respond to threats immediately. DRDO is “It focuses on developing advanced Indigenous solutions to tackle asymmetric threats,” he said.
Strengthen national security with your own solutions
The launch of vehicle-mounted counter drone systems indicates a shift towards reducing India’s reliance on foreign defence imports. The growing threat of illicit drones has made anti-drone systems a top priority for the Indian military, both in traditional wars and asymmetric conflicts. The system plays a key role in securing military facilities, border areas and key strategic assets due to its ability to provide real-time aerial threat neutralization.
Aero India 2025 has re-searched the rapid advances in innovation in India’s defense sector. The announcement of this system will place India at the forefront of modern war solutions and strengthen its position as a global defence technology hub. As threats from unmanned aviation platforms increase, the partnership between Adani Defense and DRDO proves to be a game-changer to ensure national security with world-class indigenous solutions.
