Indrajaal, Sigma secure Rs 155 crore orders

India has placed orders worth around Rs 155 crore for mobile anti-drone patrol vehicles to enhance border and urban security. The deal comprises a Rs 145 crore contract with Indrajaal Sigma, a consortium of Indrajaal Autonomous Defense Systems and Sigma Advanced Systems, for deploying their Indrajaal Ranger counter-drone platform at borders.

Additionally, an urban police force has placed an order worth about Rs 10 crore for the platform, which will be used for protecting VVIPs and securing urban areas. The Indrajaal Ranger is a mobile counter-UAS system that detects, tracks, identifies, and counters drones in motion. It can establish electronic exclusion zones, physically intercept drones, and even take control of rogue drones for recovery and analysis.

The platform incorporates sensors, artificial intelligence, sensor fusion, command and control, and countermeasures. The mobile nature of the platform allows security forces to deploy the capability to moving convoys, border points, and temporary high-security zones. The deployment of the Indrajaal Ranger comes at a time when unmanned aircraft are increasingly viewed as security concerns beyond conventional military operations.
