🔆Bhargavastra Counter-Drone System

✅India successfully conducted trials of ‘Bhargavastra’, a new low-cost counter-drone micro-missile system, developed by Solar Defence and Aerospace Ltd (SDAL).

✅A micro-missile-based counter-drone system designed to detect and eliminate hostile drones, including drone swarms, using guided munitions.

✅Developed by: Solar Defence and Aerospace Ltd (SDAL) in partnership with Economic Explosives Ltd.

✅Objective: To provide a cost-effective, rapid-response solution for neutralising drone threats, especially in sensitive border and conflict zones.

📍Key Features of Bhargavastra:
✅Long Detection Range: Can detect small aerial drones beyond 6 km.
✅Micro-Missile Arsenal: Supports simultaneous launch of 64 micro missiles, enabling rapid engagement of multiple targets.
✅Salvo Launch Capability: Successfully tested salvo mode firing of two rockets within 2 seconds.
✅Mobile Deployment: Mounted on a mobile platform, ensuring flexible deployment across varied terrains including high altitudes.
✅Extended Engagement Range: Targets can be neutralised at distances beyond 2.5 km, ensuring stand-off protection.

📍Significance:
✅First of its Kind: India’s first micro-missile-based counter-drone system for Army Air Defence.
✅Bridges Capability Gap: Addresses a critical void in India’s anti-drone warfare preparedness.
✅Cost-Effective: Offers an economical alternative to expensive air defence systems against low-cost drone threats.
Dual Interest: Indian Air Force has shown interest, reflecting joint-service utility.
✅Global Relevance: Few comparable systems exist globally, marking India’s leap in indigenous defence innovation
