India to Install Anti-Drone Systems at All Airports Due to Rising Security Concerns
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security have decided to install anti-drone systems at all major and
In a substantial upgrade to India's border defence strategy, Indrajaal Drone Defence on 26 November 2025 announced the launch of the 'Indrajaal Ranger', the nation's first Anti-Drone Patrol Vehicle.
This innovative, fully mobile, AI-enabled counter-drone system will detect, track, and neutralize hostile drones while they are actively in motion, addressing a critical national security vulnerability.
The 'Ranger' is a combat vehicle intended to break away from traditional, stationary anti-drone solutions. Its core competence lies in delivering on-the-move drone detection, instantaneous patrolling and instantaneous interception- a requirement driven by the growing sophistication of cross-border threats.
The company's insistence to develop the ADPV was heightened by recent national security incidents that highlighted drones as a key channel for illegal activity.
Incidents involving ISI-linked weapon smuggling deep into Indian territory and the reliable neutralization of hundreds of Pakistani drones this year, serving as the main transport for India's massive Rs 3-lakh-crore drug-trafficking network, made the requirement for a fast, mobile response undeniable.
Speaking at the launch, Lieutenant General Devendra Pratap Pandey (Retd), PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, VSM, praised the innovation.
"India's youth deserve a safer nation, free from the shadow of international crime networks," said Lt Gen. Pandey. "Technologies like the Anti-Drone Patrol Vehicle are not just machines; they are shields protecting our children, our farmers and our future. With this new Ranger launch, India and the brave men guarding our borders will be truly grateful for such a transformative contribution."
The Indrajaal Ranger will deliver a transformative layer of national security. By cutting off logistical supply routes and monetary channels for criminal operations, it weakens recruitment pipelines of smuggling and extremist networks, reinstating a sense of safety and dignity to vulnerable border communities.
Indrajaal is an autonomous counter-UAS and air-defence technology company. Its proprietary autonomy engine, SkyOS, fuses multi-sensor intelligence and instantaneous decision-making into a unified C5ISRT framework.
This lets the company create dynamic "security domes" that protect intricate environments, such as airports, refineries, and military formations, at unprecedented scale.
The company has already achieved operational success and is well-positioned for national-level rollouts, having obtained ARDTC certification for the disposition of Counter-UAS systems.
