IG Defence Secures Army and Navy Orders for Indigenous Anti-Drone System
IG Defence, an indigenous defence technology company, has secured orders from both the Indian Army and the Indian Navy for its Made-in-India counter-drone system, the IG T-Shul Pulse Anti-Drone Gun. The induction of this system marks a significant milestone in strengthening India’s Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capabilities and underscores the armed forces’ growing reliance on domestically developed defence technologies under the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
Enhancing Tactical Counter-Drone Capabilities
The IG T-Shul Pulse is a handheld, electronic-warfare-based anti-drone jammer designed to detect, disrupt, and neutralise hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in real-time operational environments. Lightweight, rugged, and quick to deploy, the system is optimised for frontline troops, perimeter security, base protection, and the defence of critical military and strategic assets across land and maritime domains.
Under line-of-sight and interference-free conditions, the system offers an effective jamming range of up to 2 kilometres, enabling tactical units to respond immediately to low-cost and rapidly evolving drone threats without reliance on networked or centralized command infrastructure.
Multi-Band, Directional Electronic Warfare Architecture
Modern hostile drones whether commercial off-the-shelf platforms or purpose-built military UAVs typically employ multiple radio-frequency (RF) pathways for command and control, telemetry, navigation (GNSS), and automated fail-safe recovery. Traditional single-band jammers have increasingly proven inadequate against such frequency-agile and adaptive UAVs.
The IG T-Shul Pulse addresses this challenge through a simultaneous, multi-band RF denial architecture, delivering controlled, directional electronic suppression across relevant frequency bands. This approach enables effective drone neutralisation while minimising electromagnetic interference with friendly communications, sensors, and onboard naval systems an especially critical requirement in contested electromagnetic environments and maritime operations.
Standalone, Network-Independent Design for Frontline Use
A key distinguishing feature of the IG T-Shul Pulse is its standalone and electronically isolated design. The system does not depend on external networks, cloud connectivity, or centralized command nodes, significantly reducing cyber, electronic warfare, and spoofing vulnerabilities. By concentrating electronic energy strictly along the threat axis, the system enhances neutralisation efficiency while limiting electromagnetic spillover, making it suitable for deployment in dense operational theatres.
This design philosophy reflects a broader shift from legacy, single-function jammers to multi-band, directionally controlled electronic denial systems engineered specifically for frontline military use across both land and sea domains.
Operational Experience and Indigenous Development
IG Defence has previously demonstrated operational capability through the successful deployment of its IG FPV Striker system during Operation Sindoor. Building on this experience, the IG T-Shul Pulse represents a fully indigenous, proprietary solution, entirely designed, developed, and manufactured in India. The system incorporates integrated safety mechanisms and has been engineered for reliability under demanding operational conditions.
Following the placement of orders, IG Defence has confirmed a delivery and induction timeline of approximately one month. Current production capacity stands in the hundreds of units, with scalability planned to meet evolving operational requirements of the Indian Armed Forces.
Official Statement
Commenting on the induction, Maj Gen R C Padhi, Senior Vice President, IG Defence, stated:
“The induction of indigenous counter-drone systems such as the IG T-Shul Pulse reflects the Indian Armed Forces’ increasing focus on preparedness against emerging aerial threats. Handheld, electronic-warfare-based solutions provide frontline units with the ability to respond swiftly and independently to low-cost, asymmetric drone threats that are becoming more prevalent in modern conflict environments. Systems designed and manufactured in India, aligned with operational requirements, strengthen both responsiveness and long-term self-reliance in defence capabilities.”
Strengthening India’s Counter-UAS Ecosystem
With sustained investment in in-house research and development, engineering, and innovation, IG Defence continues to contribute to India’s long-term goal of defence self-reliance. By delivering deployable, indigenous counter-drone solutions for both land and maritime forces, the company is playing an expanding role in strengthening India’s airspace security and supporting the nation’s transition toward a future-ready, self-reliant defence ecosystem.
