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.

The DRDO is also prioritizing development of a 30 kW Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) system to target and kill aerial objects. This is a niche technology being tested and employed by a handful of advanced militaries.

In the backdrop of small and advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) emerging as a significant security threat, the system uses concentrated electromagnetic energy to combat enemy assets.

Last year, Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari had said India’s defence industries need to push the development of such advanced weapons and integrate them into its airborne platforms to get the desired range and accuracy. He had said that DEWs, particularly lasers, provide significant advantages over traditional weapons such as precision engagement, low cost per shot, logistical benefits, and low detectability.

The Army has also identified 16 tech clusters comprising subject specialists, each on certain emerging technologies which are at a conceptual stage. One of them is DEW and counter-unmanned aerial systems. In July, IAF Vice Chief, Air Marshal AP Singh, had said that impetus is also being given in the fields of directed energy weapons, close-in weapon systems and modernising India’s aerial platforms and surface-to-air guided weapon systems.

Officials said the DRDO also plans to prioritise development of other key systems this year such as standalone 1-km range Anti-drone High Power Microwave System to take out enemy drones and the maiden launch of the Long-Range Land Attack Cruise Missile for the IAF. There are plans to develop the system for all aerial, naval and land platforms.

DRDO plans to give statutory status to regulatory and certification bodies such as the Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification and Centre for Fire Explosive and Environment Safety, officials said.

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.
