Grene Robotics, a Hyderabad-based technology R&D firm has designed and developed India’s first indigenous drone defence dome called “Indrajaal” recently.

About Indrajaal

  • This drone defence dome has the capability to autonomously protect an area of 1000-2000 sq km against the aerial threats
  • It can assess and act on aerial threats such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), loitering munitions, and Low- Radar Cross Section (RCS) targets.
  • It has gained significance as Jammu Air Base on June 27th was attacked by UAVs to drop explosives next to the Mi-17 hangar. 
  • The ANTI-UAV systems will not only provide protection to defence bases but it will be beneficial for linear infrastructures like international borders against advanced weaponry.

Key features of Indrajaal

  • Real-time situational awareness.
  • Integrated and Intelligent meshed network.
  • Integrated all current weapons suite and infrastructure.
  • Honeycombed cell structure is seamlessly built.
  • Synergic combination of 9-10 technologies.
  • 24×7 persistent and autonomous monitoring, action and tracking.

Need for such technology

  • The path-breaking development is imperative because manual weapons and point-based defence systems can’t defend modern warfares, which are operated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics.
  • Conventional defences will be overwhelmed in a swarm attack scenario and an AI-Enabled Autonomous Dome with its own ecosystem of sensors and processing is the way forward.

Technology behindIndrajaal

  • Considered as the 3rd revolution of warfare, the design principles of Indrajaal are based on delivering autonomy to the armed forces. 
  • The synergic combination of 9-10 modern technologies helmed by Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybersecurity and robotics.

What are UAVs/Drones?

  • The term “drone” usually refers to any unpiloted aircraft.
  • Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASes).
  • These robotic UAVs operate without a pilot on board and with different levels of autonomy. 
  • A drone’s autonomy level can range from remotely piloted (a human controls its movements) to advanced autonomy, which means that it relies on a system of sensors and LIDAR detectors to calculate its movement.

Note: The DRDO also developed a similar system that can detect and jam micro drones up to 3 kilometres and use lasers to bring down a target up to 1-2.5 kilometres depending on the wattage of the laser weapon.
