The first completely mobile, AI-enabled Anti-Drone Patrol Vehicle (ADPV) in India, the Indrajaal Ranger, was introduced by Hyderabad-based Indrajaal Drone Defence. Its purpose is to identify, track, and neutralise enemy drones while they are in motion.
This system offers real-time patrolling, autonomous threat assessment, and immediate interception capabilities in response to growing drone-based smuggling and cross-border aerial threats. The
The exclusive SkyOSTM autonomous engine powers the Indrajaal Ranger, which is constructed on an all-terrain 4×4 assault vehicle platform.
It provides drone mitigation up to 4 km and detection up to 10 km. Cyber takeover (hacking enemy drones), electromagnetic jamming (soft-kill), and the deployment of interceptor drones (hard kill) for neutralisation are some of its counter-UAS options. The
The vehicle, which was created especially for border forces and police, allows for on-the-go operations over a variety of terrain, including dense metropolitan areas, agricultural belts, border highways, canals, and vital infrastructure.
The Ranger’s AI-powered automatic interception lessens the operational burden on security staff and enables more intelligent, data-driven manpower deployment to combat the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and explosives. The
At a single border location, operational prototypes have already proven successful, intercepting about 40 drones and contraband worth almost ₹70 crore in a matter of days.
By preventing smugglers and militants from using aerial supply lines, this invention greatly improves India’s internal security by safeguarding vulnerable border populations and vital infrastructure. The
The Indrajaal Ranger, which combines mobility, autonomy, and layered counter-drone technologies in a single vehicle to effectively safeguard India’s borders and metropolitan centres against growing aerial threats, is a revolutionary advance in drone defence. The
