New Delhi: Army Air Defense (AAD) is looking at a large-scale upgradation to increase its counter-ups aerial system (UAS) capabilities. Combat Support Arm is looking for monitoring systems for the smallest size drone carrying a payload-to increase the identity capabilities of the-blind for other systems?
AAD Director General Sumer Ivan D’Kunha said, “The first thing is to get a monitoring system … Our current radars are disabled. We are in the process of achieving it. We are in the process of achieving it. We are LLR (low level light radar) Seeing to a mavic (drone) without a grenade.
Army plans to increase density, these radars can enter as it is one of the requirements in mountains and valleys. The army has range radar capabilities that allow specific goals to take, but the detection limit of drone allowing enough time to confuse the drone is more than six to seven km.

As the drone capabilities are increased, counter-drain systems are also improving. Counter-UAS or C-UAS remain the responsibility of Army Air Defense as part of its aerial threat. The C-UAS system has improved, from pure jam to a hard kilter and now from the hybrid system, which includes inactive and active identification with laser and high power microwave (HPM), such as Jammmar and directed energy weapons (dews).
“When an infantry soldier or a tankman, artillery battery, or air defense weapon system becomes unsafe, every person becomes unsafe. Therefore, we have to give every man a capacity of drones and some counter-ups, ”said Lieutenant General D’Kanha.
Aad is also looking at the purchase of “smart ammunition”. At this point, the army uses 17 rounds of high explosive (HE) ammunition – equal to a round of “smart ammunition”.
In addition, the army has planned to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to promote its emerging counter-drain capabilities. The force is currently performed by the ‘centralized control distributed network operation’, while the network can be distributed itself, meaning that on-the-gold soldiers must be able to take emerging drone challenges.
Procurement phase
The air defense gun missile (self propelled) system or ADGM SP proposal (RFP) is in request. RFP- Which must be out in the next two months – so that the system matches the existing crafts and Tunguscus of the system of mechanized columns of the army. The ADGM SP will have a range of eight to 10-km. Gun fragmentation will use ammunition and missile counter-UAS capacity.
For ADGM Sp, as part of India’s defense industry, ‘buy and make’, LT Gen D’Oc may provide the first test model in four to five years, according to Gen D’Unha. This is a matter of concern because the induction will be seven years later, he said.
The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is working on the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM), which will be 30 km. Lieutenant General D’Kunha called it “a very good project by DRDO”.
“We hope that [Indian] The industry comes with seven to 10 km-range missile; Hopefully, the Indian industry fulfills our expectations in some form or the other, ”said Lieutenant General D’Kunha.
The ADGM SP will be tracked, and the QRSAM system will be wheel and track.
On Qrsam, Lieutenant General D’Kunha said, “We can get a contract with DRDO in the next four to five months. Scale-up will be very large. In 12 months, they will give us Fopm (first production model). A year later, they will start rolling Qrsam. ,
For Area Air Defense Weapons Systems, the army entered a contract for two regiments of the sky weapon system. There is a possibility of delivery for high altitude tests in the next 45 days.
“In addition, as far as guns go, we have a successor advertisement for trial in July this year. The contract will be signed in June next year. RFP is for 220 guns. These existing L70s and Zu will replace 23 mm guns that the army already works. All these are indigenous with smart gunpowder, ”Lieutenant General D’Kunha said.
He insisted that the army was no longer importing guns.
Speaking of guns, he said that he had returned to fashion. Emphasizing that the Indian Army captured its guns for a good reason, Lieutenant General D’Kunha said that the gun could be used with fragmentation ammunition.
Lieutenant General D’Kunhaha said that the test for successor L -70 guns will start with smart ammunition on 25 July this year. In addition, the request for information (RFI) for indigenous fission ammunition (RFI) has been handed over to the industry.
Talking about very low range air defense systems (Vshorads), he said that the quantity of essential systems is very large, with RFI should be out in the Indian industry soon.
The army is also looking at some drone kiln system with drones, on drones, or rockets on drones. “We are also looking at a vehicle-mounted counter-drain system with 64 rockets,” said Lieutenant General D’Kunha.
