The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the procurement of an Integrated Drone Detection and Interdiction System (Mark II A) or IDDIS Mk II A. The system is expected to bolster India’s anti-drone capabilities.
The proposed IDDIS Mk II A system will be equipped with advanced surveillance, detection, and tracking capabilities. The system will also include a microprocessor for computing precise targeting solutions. Notably, the system will possess both hard-kill and soft-kill options. A laser weapon system will be integrated for hard-kill, or destruction, of hostile drones, while a jamming capability will be incorporated for soft-kill, or denial, measures.
This development underscores the Indian government’s growing concern over the potential threats posed by drones, particularly in light of recent incidents involving unauthorized drone activity. The procurement of an advanced IDDIS system is a crucial step towards safeguarding critical infrastructure and national security.
The MoD’s RFI invites domestic and foreign defense companies to submit proposals for the development and supply of the IDDIS Mk II A system. The selected system is expected to significantly enhance India’s counter-drone capabilities.
