The Indian Air Force (IAF) plans to enhance the defense of its forward airbases by procuring the indigenous Bhargavastra counter-drone system developed by Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited. This state-of-the-art platform utilizes 64 guided micro-missiles to neutralize swarm drone threats, a growing concern globally, particularly for bases in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. With rapid deployment capabilities and advanced targeting systems, Bhargavastra can engage multiple drones simultaneously, ensuring effective protection of critical assets. This cost-effective solution not only strengthens the IAF’s defenses but also strategically preserves high-end systems for conventional threats, addressing the evolving landscape of aerial warfare.
