New Delhi: India’s Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited (SDAL) has successfully tested ‘Bhargavastra’, a revolutionary low-cost hard-kill counter-drone system designed to neutralise drone swarms with precision and efficiency. This innovation marks a major leap in India’s defense capabilities, addressing the increasing threat posed by unmanned aerial systems.
India Tests ‘Bhargavastra’ Cutting-Edge Counter-Drone System
Successful Testing at Gopalpur
The system’s micro rockets underwent rigorous testing at the Seaward Firing Range, Gopalpur, successfully meeting all its operational objectives. Conducted in the presence of Army Air Defence (AAD) senior officials, the trials demonstrated Bhargavastra’s reliability and effectiveness.
Two tests were conducted launching single rockets, assessing precision and performance. A third test deployed two rockets in salvo mode within two seconds, showcasing rapid response capabilities. All four rockets performed flawlessly, reinforcing Bhargavastra’s potential in countering large-scale drone attacks.
Multi-Layered Defence Against Drone Threats
Bhargavastra offers a two-tiered approach to neutralising hostile UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). The first layer consists of unguided micro rockets capable of engaging drone swarms at distances of up to 2.5 km, delivering a 20-meter lethal radius. The second layer utilizes guided micro-missiles
