Indrajaal, an autonomous drone defence company, has introduced ‘Indrajaal Infra’, a new system built to protect critical infrastructure like nuclear plants, oil refineries, ports, airports, and power grids from drone threats.
The system uses the company’s SkyOS to automatically manage a multi-layered defence with sensors, spoofers, and jammers. This lets it watch and react to drones in real-time over huge areas, up to 4,000 square kilometres.
Indrajaal Infra is already in use at a naval port in Gujarat, with deployment initiated after successful field trials during recent cross-border incidents. Furthermore, a second system is being installed at India’s largest naval port in Karnataka.
Recent drone activity near the India-Pakistan border, though partly intercepted, highlighted the urgent need for better surveillance and defence, driving this launch.
Kiran Raju, Founder and CEO of Indrajaal, said, “Peacetime readiness is wartime insurance. The cost of protecting critical assets today is far lower than the cost of rebuilding them after an attack”.
The company highlighted how low-cost drone attacks can have significant consequences. Recent global incidents targeting oil terminals, energy infrastructure, and logistics hubs prove that drones can disrupt operations and cause economic and strategic damage.
Indrajaal Infra is an easy-to-use drone defence system that works with what’s already there and can protect different places. It uses smart tech (C5ISRT) to find and stop threats on its own. The company is working with defence groups, governments, and businesses to set it up in critical areas.
