Army, BEL ink counter-drone system pact
Within days of countering drones during the skirmish with Pakistan, the Indian Army today signed a contract with Public Sector Undertaking Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) for securing more ‘drone-countering’ systems.
Named the integrated drone detection and interdiction system (IDDIS), the system can counter drones, the BEL said.
It has been indigenously developed by DRDO and BEL. Both the entities are under the Ministry of Defence.
The BEL said it had secured orders worth Rs 572 crore in the last five weeks. Major orders received include a Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Data Communication Unit (DCU) used for attack guns. It will also be providing AI-based solutions for ships, simulators, communication equipment, jammers, spares, services, etc.
