Low-cost 'Bhargavastra' system to destroy drone swarms test-fired successfully
A new low-cost Counter Drone System in Hard Kill mode, 'Bhargavastra', has been designed and developed by Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited (SDAL), signifying a substantial leap in countering the escalating threat of drone swarms.
The micro rockets used in this counter-drone system underwent rigorous testing at the Seaward Firing Range, Gopalpur, achieving all designated objectives.
Three trials were conducted for the rocket at Gopalpur on May 13 in the presence of senior army officials.
Two trials were conducted by firing one rocket each. One trial was conducted by firing two rockets in salvo mode within two seconds.
All four rockets performed as expected and achieved the required launch parameters underscoring its pioneering technology in mitigating large-scale drone attacks.
