The Features of Indrajaal

Indrajaal is an automated defence drone mechanism. This system has been developed in Hyderabad by technology and robotics organisations; it is used to detect and destroy aerial threats.

Indrajal is the first-ever drone defence dome indigenous system developed all over India; the indrajaal drone defence system was generated and developed by Hyderabad technology research and development organisation; this drone can observe and protect areas up to 1000 to 2000 square kilometres; this drone defence the area against air threats, this system is required to protect the area from UAVs and smart swarms, their manual weapons cannot defend any area from air threats. So, this defence system Dome was developed by Hyderabad, and it can easily protect the area from aerial threats without any issues.

Features of Indrajaal

Now, let us talk about the features of the indrajaal drone defence dome. Below, the given points tell you about the different features of this drone defence Dome system-

  • The Indrajaal drone defence system can protect an area up to 1000 to 2000 square kilometres.
  • Indrajal drone defence system also has real-time awareness of the surroundings.
  • Indrajal drone defence system has an infrastructure of weapons integrated into the drone.
  • Indrajal drone defence system has more than 10 technologies combined, and it also has a tracking and monitoring system that works 24 by 7.
  • Honeycomb structure has been used to make the drone.
  • Indrajal drone defence system has an integrated network system.

Design of Indrajal

Considering the revolution of warfare, the individual has been made according to the autonomy of armed forces; the drone comes with more than 10 technologies integrated into it, and it is helmed by AI (Artificial intelligence); this drone has had real-time monitoring and tracking system which work 24 by 7, and the tracking system is accurate and seamless, the drone also comes with another kind of features, and it can easily detect UAVs.

Requirement of the System

Thus far, we have discussed the features and other properties of the indrajaal drone defence dome. Now, let us see what the basic requirement for this system in India is-

  • Many rogue agencies against India use UAVs to protect a particular area from UV; this drone comes into use.
  • On 27th July, Jammu Airways was attacked, and it was made to drop MI-17 explosions in the hangar.
  • The manual weapons can not defend any area from aerial threats, so this drone defence system comes into use.

Autonomous Defence System

The third revolution of warfare is the autonomous defence system. The design of the indrajal has been based on this only. There is a combination of more than 10 technologies integrated into this drone system. It is powered by artificial intelligence in robotics. It has also been used in indrajaal drone defence dome, and it can identify any object from a distance and in real time-time.

The defence personnel have been simulated by gene robotics, and they are planning to scale up with the private sector and try to implement this defence shield in India.

Gopi Reddy, who is the executive director, has said that an “indrajal drone defence system can detect any object from a distance and there is a tracking and monitoring system which works 24 by 7, and it can easily detect many UAVs in real-time, and there is weapon infrastructure has been used”.

What is a Drone Defence System?

Now, this far, we have talked about the indrajaal drone defence system; let us understand what a drone defence system is; a drone defence system helps in monitoring and keeping an eye on different kinds of objects or unauthorised drones; a drone defence system helps us to detect UAVs and radio frequencies.

A drone defence system also comes with high technology integrated into the drone itself only, and it also helps to destroy any aerial threats in the air only; the total global market of the drone defence system is currently being valued at 2,000,000 U.S. dollars, and it has been estimated that by 2030 it will go around 16 million U.S. dollars.

Conclusion

Indrajal is a drone defence Dome system developed in Hyderabad by technology and robotic organisations. It is the first-ever drone defence system in all of India. It can easily detect any aerial threats and destroy them, and it has a monitoring and observing mechanism which runs 24 by 7, and it also has more than 10 technologies integrated into it, and it is powered by totally artificial intelligence; this drone system can detect any UAVs and destroy it with the integrated weapon system in it, and it can detect and protect up to 1000 to 2000 square kilometre of the area.
