Adani Defence and Aerospace in collaboration with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) unveiled India's Vehicle-Mounted Counter-Drone System at Aero India in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
The company claimed that the state-of-the-art system marks a significant step in enhancing India's defence preparedness against evolving aerial threats.
"The Vehicle-Mounted Counter-Drone System ensures long-range protection, agility, and precision, making it a formidable asset for modern defence forces. It offers seamless protection through advanced sensor capabilities, including automatic detection, classification, and neutralisation of drones," the company said in a statement.
Integrated onto a single 4x4 vehicle, the system provides a highly mobile, agile, reliable, and self-sufficient counter-drone solution.

The company noted that the integration of multiple counter-drone technologies into a single platform ensures rapid response and operational flexibility, making it a critical asset for securing India's defence infrastructure.
"This unveiling is a testament to the success of India's defence innovation ecosystem, driven by DRDO's world-class R&D and the Transfer of Technology (ToT) framework. Adani Defence and Aerospace is proud to translate DRDO's cutting-edge technology into an operationally ready solution that strengthens our armed forces' ability to counter evolving drone threats," CEO of Adani Defence and Aerospace Ashish Rajvanshi said.
