Developed to Neutralize Enemy Swarm Attacks
New Delhi: India has achieved another significant milestone in strengthening its military drone defense capabilities. The indigenous Bhargavastra Counter-Drone System, developed by Solar Industries, is currently undergoing its final phase of testing. The complete trial process is expected to conclude by December 2026.
The system has been specifically designed to counter enemy drones, loitering munitions, and especially large-scale swarm attacks. Bhargavastra operates on a layered hard-kill interception architecture, enabling it to effectively destroy multiple aerial threats within seconds.
A single launcher can be equipped with up to 64 micro-rockets or missiles, all of which can be fired within just 10 seconds. This rapid-response capability makes the system highly effective against coordinated drone swarm assaults.
The advanced defense system can detect medium and large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from a distance of up to 10 kilometers, while smaller drones can be identified from ranges exceeding 6 kilometers.
