AXISCADES Starts Delivery Of Drone Systems Of Rs 100 Cr To Indian Army

AXISCADES Technologies started delivering Man Portable Counter Drone Systems (MPCDS) to the Indian Army. This contract marks a major milestone for AXISCADES, as the company begins the delivery of these systems, which are the first of their kind to be inducted into the Indian Defence Forces.

The Man Portable Counter Drone System (MPCDS), developed by AXISCADES, stands out as a game-changer in India's defence capabilities. Uniquely designed and entirely Made in India, the MPCDS is compact, portable and operates on both battery and mains power.

Covering multiple frequency spectrums, including Command & Control and Navigation, the system holds the ability to detect and jam a wide variety of drones within a range of up to five kilometres.

Arun Krishnamurthi, the CEO and Managing Director of AXISCADES, said “This order marks a milestone moment in our commitment to advancing indigenous military technology. This is the first Counter Drone System being inducted into the Indian Defence Forces in the man-portable category, and the system is being deployed at multiple locations across various Commands in the Indian Army.”

We will continue to innovate and provide advanced security solutions to meet the evolving needs of our armed forces and make India self-reliant in the defence engineering ecosystem, Krishnamurthi added.

The Ministry of Defence and Defence Forces have outlined plans to enhance their Counter UAV capabilities through multiple tenders, including emergency procurements, with an estimated addressable opportunity of Rs 3,000 crore within India alone over the next five years.

AXISCADES remains a key player at the forefront of this initiative, with the company strengthening its Counter-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (C-UAV) offerings with integrated sensors and neutralisation options, solidifying its position to capture both domestic and global market opportunities.
