Shillong, May, 29: Amid escalating drone-led warfare across global conflict zones, Zen Technologies, a leader in next-generation anti-drone systems, today showcased India’s First AI-Powered Fully Integrated Anti-Drone System, at Multilateral Joint Exercise Pragati-I 2026 between India and 15 Friendly Foreign Countries (FFCs) at Foreign Training Node in Umroi, Stall No 21.
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.
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.
