Zen Technologies unveiled India’s first modular AI-powered, fully integrated anti-drone system at the North Tech Symposium 2026 in Prayagraj on the anniversary of Operation Sindoor. The company said the system is indigenously designed and developed as a milestone in defence self-reliance and sovereign intellectual property. The launch comes as low-cost FPVs and coordinated swarm attacks are altering battlefield dynamics. The platform offers full-spectrum frequency dominance from 70 MHz to 12 GHz, enabling detection and disruption across diverse drone communication channels. It provides an extended surveillance capability with a detection range of more than 15 km and simultaneous tracking of up to 100 drones for swarm engagement. Zen Technologies described the system as driven by an intelligent Data Fusion and Command Centre that integrates multiple sensors and uses advanced algorithms for classification, tracking and response. Neutralisation is layered and includes RF jamming, GNSS jamming and spoofing, integration with remote control weapon stations of 12.7 mm and 7.62 mm calibre, air defence guns and kamikaze interceptors. The company states that a high-sensitivity indigenous radar extends detection to up to 20 km and improves early identification of small, low radar cross-section aerial threats. The architecture is intended to provide survivability and mission assurance in contested battlespaces. The design supports three deployment configurations: vehicle-mounted systems for mobile area defence, man-portable systems for dismounted soldiers and fixed installations for continuous protection of critical infrastructure and bases. Each configuration is presented as rapidly deployable and rugged to suit operational environments and convoy protection requirements. Zen emphasised scalability and the ability to tailor systems to end-user needs. Zen Technologies noted its research and development credentials, including recognised R&D status by the Ministry of Science and Technology, more than two hundred patent applications and shipment of over 10,000 systems worldwide. The company positioned the platform as a response to evolving aerial threats and as part of efforts to reduce import dependence under the indigenous development framework. The launch, it said, signals intent to invest further in anti-drone technologies and deliver solutions at scale.
