# India Expands Indigenous Defences Against Hostile Drones and Swarms 2026-08-06T14:34:41+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet India has developed a widening range of systems to detect, disrupt and destroy hostile drones, according to The Times of India. These include Solar Defence and Aerospace’s Bhargavastra, the Indrajaal system, and the DRDO-developed, Bharat Electronics-manufactured D4 anti-drone platform. The systems combine radar, electro-optical sensors, radio-frequency detection, jamming, navigation denial, lasers, micro-missiles and interceptor drones. Bhargavastra uses precision micro-missiles against individual drones and swarms and has been demonstrated to the Army. Indrajaal uses AI analytics, jamming and a Zombee interceptor drone. The D4 system has been operationally deployed in portable and vehicle-mounted forms. DRDO’s ULPGM-V3 missile, designed to engage aerial and ground targets, remains under development. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: counter-drone systems, defence technology, DRDO, drones, Indian Army Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/india-expands-indigenous-defences-against-hostile-drones-and-swarms/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
