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.
