What is the story about?
Defence training and anti-drone solutions provider Zen Technologies Ltd on Tuesday (May 5) said it has launched what it called India’s first AI-powered fully integrated anti-drone system, marking its entry into a modular counter-drone platform with vehicle-mounted, man-portable and fixed deployment configurations.
The company unveiled the system at the North Tech Symposium 2026 in Prayagraj on the anniversary of Operation Sindoor. Zen Technologies said the anti-drone platform has been fully designed and developed in India and is aimed at countering hostile drone threats through soft-kill and hard-kill capabilities.
The company said the system offers wideband coverage across 70 MHz to 12 GHz for detection and disruption across drone communication channels. It has a surveillance range of more than 15 km and can simultaneously track more than 100 drones for swarm engagement.

The platform includes layered neutralisation capabilities through RF jamming, GNSS jamming and spoofing, RCWS integration in 12.7 mm and 7.62 mm, air defence guns and kamikaze interceptors.
Zen Technologies said the system also includes an indigenous radar with a range of up to 20 km for the detection of smaller low-RCS drones. At the core of the platform is a data fusion and command centre that integrates sensor inputs and uses algorithms for threat classification, tracking and response.
The company said the anti-drone platform can be deployed in three configurations. The vehicle-mounted system is designed for deployment on tactical vehicles and mobile platforms for convoy protection and mobile area defence. The man-portable system is designed for dismounted soldiers and can be used for patrols and counter-insurgency operations.

The fixed configuration is designed for the protection of critical infrastructure, military bases and other high-value assets with round-the-clock surveillance and defence coverage.
Ashok Atluri, Chairman and Managing Director, Zen Technologies, said, "Operation Sindoor exposed a hard truth: drone warfare is redefining the battlefield, and nations that fail to adapt will remain vulnerable. While the world is focused on building drones, the real advantage will belong to those who can make them irrelevant.
At Zen Technologies, we have built exactly that advantage. This launch reinforces our commitment to advancing cutting-edge indigenous defence technologies, reducing import dependence, and equipping our armed forces with globally competitive, future-ready capabilities."
