Axiscades Secures Indian Army Order for Man-Portable Counter Drone Systems

Axiscades Technologies Limited, a Bengaluru-based engineering and technology solutions provider, has received an order from the Indian Army through its subsidiary Axiscades Aerospace & Technologies to supply 12 Man Portable Counter Drone Systems (MPCDS). The company has not disclosed the financial details of the deal.

The MPCDS is designed to detect and neutralize hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. According to Axiscades, the system can identify enemy drones up to 5 kilometers away and block their signals across a wide frequency range, providing reliable protection to soldiers on the ground. The system is lightweight and portable, making it suitable for deployment in various operational scenarios.

This order is one of the first man-portable counter-drone orders placed after Operation Sindhoor under emergency procurement, reflecting the Indian Army’s trust in indigenous technology. It also aligns with India’s broader efforts to strengthen defense capabilities and promote self-reliance in defense technology.

Earlier this month, Axiscades’ subsidiary Mistral Solutions had secured a ₹150 crore order from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the development of 10 Electronic Control Units for the cooling system of the Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft upgrade, highlighting the company’s growing involvement in advanced defense technologies.

Axiscades provides end-to-end engineering and technology solutions across sectors like energy, heavy engineering, aerospace, defense, and automotive. The company’s focus on innovation and indigenous development supports India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, aiming to reduce dependence on foreign defense imports and enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities.

The new MPCDS order reinforces Axiscades’ role in advancing India’s defense technology and demonstrates its commitment to providing the Indian Army with advanced, mission-ready, made-in-India solutions.
