What makes Indrajaal, India's first autonomous digital drone system unique

Developed by Hyderabad-based Grene Robotics it can protect an area of 1,000-2,000 sq km per system against threats such as UAVs, incoming weapons, loitering munitions, low RCS targets autonomously

Developed by Hyderabad-based Grene Robotics and called Indrajaal, it can protect an area of 1,000-2,000 sq km per system against threats such as UAVs, incoming weapons, loitering munitions, low RCS targets autonomously. The company early this year signed a memorandum of understanding with navratan defence PSU Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) to develop jointly an air defence system that brings isolated Man-portable-air-defence (MANPAD) operators into networked environment.
