Indian Armed Forces use the Anti-Drone System developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organization) for intercepting and detecting enemy drones or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). This effective technology is favourable for providing both Hard Kill, a laser-based attack to destroy the enemy drone, and Soft Kill, which obstructs the communication of the enemy's drone.
An Anti-Drone System is a promising technology that allows defence forces to deal with increasing unmanned aerial threats. When the system sensors combine with an AI or machine vision algorithm, it reduces the possibility of false negatives and false positives. However, the need for an anti-drone system has increased with the increase of terror groups' unwanted activities. It destroys the enemy's drone in the air effortlessly.
DRDO develops anti-drone technology to protect the various regions like critical infrastructure, massive public places, like airports, battlefields, stadiums, and military installations from the enemy's attacks.

As mentioned above, with the increase of unwanted rival activities and attacks, the need for protection also increases. So every nation needs an intelligible technology that can identify and destroy aerial threats.
Anti-drone systems have a significant capability to detect the target, obstruct their links and destroy their drones through its range.
Anti-Drone System technology can help in 360° coverage to identify micro drones up to 3 km and attack with lasers to overthrow the drone up to 2.5 km. But the kill range may differ depending on the wattage of the weapon. The system has the main features: detection, jamming, and killing the drone. Following are the working of the different features.
Unwanted drones or unmanned aerial threats inside the military area are a serious security concern. Still, with the help of radar detection, the anti-drone system can efficiently detect the low-flying, small craft that is difficult to detect. It is a great way to identify aircraft or small drones. It has a radar detection capability for up to four kilometres.
Jammers help block drone communication by blasting electromagnetic noise at the RF (radio frequencies). This feature is also known as soft kill, by blocking the messages. It has a jamming range capability of up to 2 kilometres of the region.
The system shoots a laser-based attack on the enemy's drone to destroy it completely, also known as a hard kill. The killing range of the anti-drone system has a range capability of up to one kilometre.
Unwanted aircraft inside one's territory is a sign of destruction and a serious security concern, so the DRDO has developed an Anti-drone system to tackle these serious issues. It is very beneficial to recognize and neutralize the enemy's attack and help a nation to overcome its enemy's evil plans. It can efficiently detect, block communication and destroy the drone.
