• India’s First comprehensive anti-drone platform, with Vehicle-Mounted, Man-Portable, and Fixed Configurations, delivering soft and hard kill solutions for hostile drone threats

New Delhi | 4 May 2026: Amid escalating drone-led warfare across global conflict zones, Zen Technologies, a leader in next-generation anti-drone systems, today launched India’s first modular, AI-powered counter-drone system at North Tech Symposium 2026, Prayagraj.

Fully indigenously designed and developed, the system represents a significant milestone in India’s push for defence self-reliance and sovereign intellectual property creation in critical battlefield technologies. Recent conflicts have demonstrated that low-cost FPVs and coordinated swarm attacks are emerging as decisive force multipliers, capable of bypassing traditional air defence systems. Zen Technologies’ latest platform is engineered to address this rapidly evolving threat landscape through a next-generation, AI-driven anti-drone solution.

  • Full-spectrum frequency dominance: 70 MHz – 12 GHz wideband coverage enabling detection and disruption across diverse drone communication channels
  • Extended surveillance capability: 15+ km detection range with simultaneous tracking of up to 100+ drones for effective swarm engagement
  • Layered neutralization architecture: RF jamming, GNSS jamming/spoofing, RCWS (12.7/7.62 mm) integration, air defence guns, and kamikaze interceptors
  • High-sensitivity indigenous radar: Up to 20 km range with enhanced capability to detect smaller, low-RCS drones early
  • At the core of the system is an intelligent Data Fusion & Command Centre, which integrates inputs from multiple sensors and applies advanced algorithms for precise threat classification, tracking, and response.

Commenting on the launch, Ashok Atluri, Chairman & 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. Our AI-powered anti-drone platform, developed under the IDDM framework with full intellectual property ownership, is a decisive response to this shift. For the armed forces, this means enhanced survivability and mission assurance in an increasingly contested battlespace. As a leading anti-drone solutions provider, Zen Technologies is uniquely positioned to design, develop, and deliver world-class systems at scale and we will continue to invest aggressively in shaping the future of anti-drone warfare technology.”

Multi-Configuration Deployment Capability: The platform is designed for seamless deployment across three key configurations:

  • Vehicle-Mounted Configuration: Integrated onto tactical vehicles and mobile platforms, enabling rapid deployment, convoy protection, and mobile area defence in dynamic battlefield environments.
  • Man-Portable Configuration: Lightweight, rugged, and mission-ready system designed for dismounted soldiers, enabling quick detection and neutralization during patrols and counter-insurgency operations.
  • Fixed (Stationary) Configuration: Deployed for the protection of critical infrastructure, military bases, and high-value assets both in military and civilian jurisdictions, ensuring continuous 24/7 surveillance and defence coverage.
