Indian Army neutralizes drone on LoC with DRDO’s advanced system.

The Indian Army successfully downed a Pakistani surveillance drone along the LoC near Jammu using the DRDO-developed Integrated Drone Detection and Interdiction System (IDDIS). This advanced system employs a 2-kilowatt laser beam that precisely targets and disables drones by concentrating energy on critical components to induce rapid overheating and failure, effectively neutralizing threats from 800 to 1,000 meters away. Complementing the laser, IDDIS integrates robust electronic warfare measures including jamming and spoofing techniques that disrupt the drone’s communications and GPS signals, while its sensor fusion—drawing on radar and EO/IR inputs— provides comprehensive target tracking to ensure swift engagement with minimal collateral damage. This multifaceted capability not only demonstrates India’s innovative approach to countering aerial threats but also reinforces its strategic shift toward indigenous high-tech defence solutions. In parallel with the current system, DRDO is advancing a 30-kilowatt laser variant to neutralize larger threats such as fixed-wing aircraft and missiles, with plans already underway for an even more powerful 300-kilowatt system named “Surya” to further extend operational range. This successful interception underscores India’s proactive integration of cutting-edge counter-drone technologies to secure its borders against evolving surveillance and smuggling operations.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, on 7 April, handed over transfer of technology documents of DRDO-developed Counter Drone System to the Indian industry, including companies like Adani Defence Systems, Larsen & Toubro, Astra Microwave, in a conference in New Delhi.

The other companies include ICOMM Tele Ltd and Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL).

The handover to the Indian industries took place in the presence of Union and state defence ministers, other dignitaries at an event organised at DRDO Bhawan, tweeted DRDO.

Counter Drone System can detect, track and identify airborne drones using multiple sensors, transfer the information to associated systems and enable counter techniques to deny them the intended operation (soft kill) and/ or destroy them (hard kill).

The detection of drone is done with the help of Radars and RF based detection system. The identification is done with the help of Electro Optic sensor and COMINT. The soft kill is carried out with RF jamming & Anti GNSS technologies, and Hard kill with the help of Laser Directed Energy Weapon (DEW). The system can detect, identify and neutralise different types of drones including Small Hybrid UAVs, Micro UAV/ Multi rotor, and Nano UAVs.
