Defending Against a Multitude of Threats
Indrajal is designed to counter a wide range of threats, from low radar cross-section (RCS) to medium and high-altitude long-endurance (MALE and HALE) UAVs. It can even tackle stray weapons, smart bombs, rocket showers, nano, and micro drones, as well as swarm drones. This versatility positions 'Indrajal' as a game-changer in the field of defense and security.
Grand Unveiling with Distinguished Presence
The grand unveiling of 'Indrajal' took place in the presence of Lt. Gen. Gurmeet Singh, the Governor of Uttarakhand, who lauded this innovative system as an unprecedented advancement in defense technology. The event marked a historic moment in the ongoing battle against unmanned autonomous threats.
Escalating UAV Threats in India
The need for advanced anti-drone systems like 'Indrajal' has become more pressing than ever. In 2020, India reported 76 cases of hostile UAV activity, a number that escalated to 109 in 2021 and a staggering 266 in 2022. In the first eight months of 2023 alone, 200 cases have already been registered, emphasizing the urgency of adopting cutting-edge technologies to safeguard national security.
The Power of Indrajal
'Indrajal' boasts an impressive array of capabilities. It can detect, identify, classify, track, and rapidly neutralize threats in real-time. With a coverage area extending up to 360 degrees, it can protect an expansive region of up to 4000 square kilometers against all categories and levels of unmanned autonomous threats.
The Components of 'Indrajal'
This advanced system comprises three key components:
1. GranOS (Resource Planning Engine): The brain behind the operation, GranOS, handles resource allocation and optimization, ensuring efficient system performance.
2. Hivemind (AI Computer): Hivemind is the AI computer responsible for planning and executing missions with precision and effectiveness.
3. DefOS (Unified Command and Control Engine): DefOS serves as the unified command and control engine, orchestrating the entire system's functions seamlessly.
The Ensemble of Defense
'Indrajal' is not a solitary entity. It is part of a comprehensive defense strategy that includes the 'Zombie Drone,' an autonomous drone capable of neutralizing threats, and the 'SkyCop' drone, designed for threat monitoring. Together, these elements create a formidable defense ecosystem that adapts to evolving threats.
