'Bhargavastra' High-Tech Defense System Against Combat UAVs and Drone Swarms

Defense News ,India :-  Solar Industries India Limited (SOLARINDS) has introduced a groundbreaking defense technology in India with the Bhargavastra Weapons System.

This new technology is specially created to tackle the increasing danger posed by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and groups of drones. Its ability to tackle these threats and protect Indian airspace was demonstrated in a video presentation on the Bharat-Shakti defense portal.

Understanding the Bhargavastra System

The Bhargavastra system is a complex defense system that combines various important parts to defend against drone attacks. These parts can be divided into three main categories:

1. Detection and Tracking:

• RADAR: Detects aerial targets over long distances.
• Electro-Optical Tracking System (EOTS): Tracks targets visually.
• Electro-Optical IR (EO/IR): Identifies targets using visual and infrared capabilities.

2. Command and Coordination:

• Command & Control Center: Manages the system's operations.
• C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence): Integrates the network for controlling Bhargavastra's operations.
• AI Layer: Uses artificial intelligence to improve awareness and decision-making.

3. Engagement:

• Launcher with Missiles: Launches micro-missiles.
• Data Links: Guides missiles through communication channels.
• Counter Measures: Uses potential disruption techniques.

A Force to be Reckoned With

The Bhargavastra system has impressive technical features that make it a strong defense tool:

• Detection Range: Can detect targets over 5 kilometers away, even small ones.
• Reaction Speed: Responds to threats in less than 16 seconds, crucial for fast-moving drones.
• Multi-Target Capability: Can track and engage up to 64 targets at once, stopping swarm attacks effectively.
• Micro-Missile System: Uses missiles that lock onto targets after launch and can fire rapidly.

The Importance of Bhargavastra

The creation of Bhargavastra highlights India's dedication to strengthening its air defense against the rising threat of drones. Being made domestically, it reduces dependence on foreign imports and promotes self-sufficiency in defense technology.

The Bhargavastra Weapons System showcases India's technological advancement, providing a strong and adaptable solution against potential drone threats. Its integration into India's defense setup will significantly improve its ability to safeguard its airspace.
