Indrajaal Ranger Mounted on 4x4 Vehicle, Capable of Detecting Drones Up to 10 km

India’s first AI-driven mobile anti-drone patrol vehicle, the Indrajaal Ranger, has been officially unveiled by Hyderabad-based aerial defence company Indrajaal, a subsidiary of Grene Robotics. The vehicle has been designed to detect, track, and neutralise unauthorised drones in urban zones as well as along the nation’s borders.

The Indrajaal Ranger has been mounted on an all-terrain 4x4 vehicle and is equipped with multiple drone detection and mitigation technologies. The vehicle integrates GNSS spoofing to disrupt navigation signals, radio frequency (RF) jamming to interfere with drone communication, and a cyber takeover unit capable of remotely controlling rogue drones. A spring-loaded kill switch is also incorporated to provide immediate hard kill capabilities when required.

Operations are managed by an AI-powered command system called SkyOS, which serves as the mission brain of the Ranger. SkyOS fuses sensor data from both the vehicle and its deployed unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) into a unified control system. As the Ranger moves into high-threat zones, SkyOS continuously detects, classifies, prioritises, and neutralises airborne threats. The company has claimed that the complete detection-to-neutralisation cycle can be completed within seconds, although human oversight is expected in operational scenarios.

The Ranger’s operational ranges include: a hard kill range of up to 2 km, a soft kill range of up to 3 km, a soft capture zone of up to 5 km, and a detection range of up to 10 km. These capabilities are designed to counter the increasing use of drones for smuggling weapons, drugs, and explosives along India’s western and northern borders.

According to company statements, the Indrajaal Ranger represents India’s first fully integrated mobile anti-drone patrol vehicle, providing both detection and neutralisation capabilities in a single platform. While the price of the vehicle has not been publicly disclosed, sales are being conducted via direct contact with potential buyers, following standard defence procurement practices.

Industry experts have noted that the deployment of AI-powered ADPVs such as the Indrajaal Ranger could significantly enhance India’s aerial security infrastructure, particularly in areas vulnerable to drone-based smuggling or unauthorised surveillance. The system’s combination of autonomous detection, threat assessment, and multi-layered mitigation makes it a pioneering addition to India’s defence technology landscape.
