Indigenous 'Bhargavastra' counter-drone system to complete internal trials in 2-3 months, says SDAL Chairman Satyanarayan Nuwal

Nagpur: Chairman of Solar Defence and Aerospace Ltd (SDAL), Satyanarayan Nuwal, said on Friday, that indigenous counter-drone system 'Bhargavastra' will complete its internal trials within the next two to three months, expressing confidence that the technology would pave the way for the development of the ambitious "Sudarshan Chakra" air defence system by 2030.

Speaking after the demonstration of the indigenous, vehicle-mounted, multi-layered Counter-Swarm Drone System in Nagpur, Nuwal said the integrated system had already undergone several successful component trials and was progressing towards the next stage of evaluation.

"This entire system is complete in itself. We will complete its internal trials in 2-3 months. Officers from the Navy had come yesterday, and now Army officers have seen this. We had already tested the micro-missile in Balasore and Pokhran. Today, we also tested the radar, electro-optics control system and missile. We have the complete system, and trials have also been done," Nuwal told ANI.
