-Co starts supplying advanced counterdrone systems to the Indian Army under Rs 100 crore order.
-Marking a milestone as these are the first of their kind in India
-The MPCDS,Can detect and jam drones within a 5-kilometer range,made in India
-Has export potential
cc @Ashwin also @noob saw it was getting discussed today
In this regard, they did mention this in their concall last month

May have deployed the upped version , like what was said in the event the 30-50kw version is currently in the works. Ideally if you are to tackle a cruise missile in a sea shore/ coastal area, what power level you are looking at ? must be way over 10kw , right ?
High explosive pre-fragmented shell to be used to counter drones

Pune: The Indian Navy will soon induct high-explosive pre-fragmented shells to counter a swarm of drones and enhance its operational capabilities.
The high-explosive pre-fragmented (HEPF) shells can engage multiple drones, having a payload capacity of 1kg, in a 5 km range. These shells can be fired from ships equipped with AK-630 naval guns. After firing, the shell produces about 600 metal shrapnel that can travel at a speed of 850 m/sec to engage the target in a 5 km range, said officials.
India Navy’s aircraft carriers, INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya, all destroyers, except Talwar class, Nilgiri class frigates, all corvettes, Deepak-class fleet tankers and Sandhayak-class survey vessels are using the AK-630 system.

“The significance of the anti-drone shell is high against the backdrop of recent drone attacks on Indian ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). Apart from the existing anti-drone system on the ships, the Commanding Officer (CO) will have another option at their disposal to counter the drone threat,” a senior Navy officer told TOI.
The city-based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) laboratory of the DRDO has developed the shell. A Raju, the director of ARDE, told TOI, “We have handed over the production documents to Rear Admiral Rupak Barua, the Director-General of the Naval Armament Inspectorate, recently. The Navy will give supply orders to manufacturers based on their operational requirements.”
Another ARDE official said, “We have achieved these operational requirements during multiple trials conducted under the guidance of the Navy’s panel during development. After achieving the desired results, we have reached the final stage.” The Indian Navy provided technical inputs to ARDE to finalize drawings, design specifications, inspection tools, and proof and testing of the shell. It was a collaborative effort to find an indigenous solution, said the official.

Retired IN officer involved in this project says there are 30mm laser-based proximity fuses being developed under iDEX that will make these rounds even more lethal:
that was in Gen Aroras event video sessions, same one with the Kusha LRSAM session.
Wonder how the RCI made ADADS will turn out. Seems somewhat advanced stage now.

Astra mw is also working on hard kill system for counter uav with their PEL jv. Their product will be launched in a few months time apparently. Several anti uav systems are coming to the market & export.
Yes the soft kill one, they also want to have a hardkill solution in their product. Since they have no explosives license hence jv with Premier.
