Grene Robotics, headquartered in Hyderabad, has commenced the demonstration of a groundbreaking technology known as Indrajaal. It is hailed as the world’s first autonomous wide-area anti-drone/Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS). This technological leap represents a significant advancement in Indian defense capabilities, offering protection against a wide range of drones, from micro to extra-large classifications. Indrajaal is poised to redefine security measures for a safer future.
The exclusive unveiling event was attended by Lt. Gen. Gurmit Singh, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, VSM (Retd.), the Honorable Governor of Uttarakhand. Lt. Gen. Gurmit Singh emphasized the system’s groundbreaking potential in reshaping security in defense, public infrastructure, and the private sector. He underlined the importance of countering the growing threat of drones and how Indrajaal addresses this need.
Indrajaal operates on a unique design principle that combines 12 layers of technology, all powered by artificial intelligence. It is the first system in the world to offer capabilities that include detection, identification, classification, tracking, and real-time neutralization of threats. The system’s coverage spans 360 degrees, capable of securing extensive areas up to 4000 square kilometers. It effectively safeguards against all categories and levels of autonomous drones, including low RCS threats, medium and high-altitude long-endurance (MALE & HALE) UAVs, loitering munitions, smart bombs, rocket showers, nano and micro drones, swarm drones, and more.
India has witnessed a significant increase in hostile UAV activity over the past two years. Instances include attempts to drop weapons, money, and narcotics into the country. Intelligence reports indicate plans by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to use drones for smuggling into India’s Jammu and Punjab regions. These missions have three primary objectives: surveillance, narcotics smuggling, and weapons distribution. The surge in drone-based weapon deliveries underscores the urgent need for effective countermeasures to protect national security.
Indrajaal addresses limitations of existing point defense-based anti-UAV systems, which rely on visual sighting and are impractical for large areas, such as the National Capital Region of New Delhi and international borders.
Indrajaal is powered by artificial intelligence and operates as a wide-area networked system, capable of covering up to 4000 square kilometers. It comprises 12 proprietary modular technologies, offering a new era of drone security. These technologies include the patented greneOS for Autonomous Resource Planning, DefOS for Unified Command and Control, HiveMind for AI-driven mission planning and execution, Zombee Drones for threat neutralization, SkyCop Drones for threat monitoring, Brig Devices for edge AI data and control, SpiderMesh for a high-speed wireless mesh network, Repulsor for drone jamming and control, greneEYE for threat identification using machine vision, HyperSensing for advanced sensing technologies, WeaponFusion for integrating existing weapons, and GlobalGrid for real-time command and control.
Wg Cdr MVN Sai (Retd), Director Grene Robotics & Co-Founder of Indrajaal, expressed optimism about the system’s capabilities and the history it is creating in autonomous drone security. The trial is currently underway at a 79-acre test facility in Hyderabad.
Kiran Raju, Founder & CEO of Grene Robotics, highlighted the significance of Indrajaal in fortifying India’s defense against evolving threats.
