Anadrone Systems is at the forefront of developing advanced Aerial Unmanned Systems (AUS), with a focus on cutting-edge technologies that enhance modern warfare capabilities. The company is working on fixed-wing UAVs, kamikaze drones, and high-speed aerial target systems tailored for military applications. These systems are equipped with features like encrypted communication, anti-jam capabilities, and electronic warfare payloads, ensuring superior performance in high-risk environments. The UAVs are designed for both offensive and defensive operations, supporting tactical missions across various terrains and altitudes.

In addition to combat UAVs, Anadrone is innovating with Swarm UAV technology, which allows for coordinated operations of multiple drones in synchronized formations. This swarm capability, paired with beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) operations and robust autopilot systems, provides the flexibility needed for complex missions. With a strong focus on indigenous manufacturing under the “Make in India” initiative, Anadrone is setting a new standard in delivering cost-effective, highperformance aerial systems to the Indian Armed Forces and other global clients.

ABHAY - Multi Role Capability UAV

Defence forces face the challenge of adapting to versatile combat scenarios requiring rapid deployment and diverse mission capabilities. The ABHAY MRC UAV, with its Multirole Capability, offers a solution by performing combat operations like MUM-T and swarm attacks. With advanced features like BLOS communication, anti-jamming GPS, and enhanced speed, it can carry swappable combat payloads, including EW systems and munitions. The Tri-services have shown keen interest in this high-speed UAV, now in the proof-of-concept stage. Use cases include electronic warfare in contested airspace and precision strike missions, providing operators with unmatched tactical advantages.

SHAKTI

In modern warfare, there’s a critical need for affordable, long-endurance strike capabilities that can engage high-value targets with precision. SHAKTI addresses this with its 25kg warhead and 4-hour endurance, delivering explosive payloads up to 1000km away. Designed as an expendable yet lethal system, SHAKTI includes a wideangle camera for target confirmation, ensuring accurate strikes with minimal collateral damage. This UAV is ideal for deep strike missions and high-value target elimination, offering an edge in both offensive and defensive operations..

Shikra Jet 40

The Shikra Jet 40 is a jet-powered aerial target system built around one defining capability: reach. It operates across a full-envelope altitude range from a punishing 5 m low-altitude run up to 20,000 ft, letting a single airframe simulate both terrain-hugging threats and high-altitude intercept scenarios without swapping platforms. A climb rate exceeding 32 m/s gets it into position fast, while over 90 minutes of endurance and 100+ km of operating range (payload dependent) give test ranges the flight time and reach for extended, multi-engagement sessions — far beyond what shorter-flight target systems can sustain in a single sortie.

Shikra Jet 40+

The Shikra Jet 40 is a manoeuvrable aerial target system designed to give defence forces a mid-tier threat simulation platform — one that combines a genuine speed envelope with real evasive capability, without the cost or complexity of a heavier-class system.

Shikra Jet 80

The Shikra Jet 80+ is a twin-turbojet aerial target system engineered for defence forces and weapon developers who need more than a fast-moving target — they need one that flies like a real adversary. Powered by twin power plants delivering 44 kg of thrust each, the Jet 80+ operates across an 80–180 m/s speed range, allowing test ranges to simulate everything from moderate-speed reconnaissance threats to high-speed strike aircraft within a single system.

ABHAY 40

The ABHAY 40 is a compact, twin turbojet-powered UAV engineered to operate where reliable navigation and precision execution matter most — in contested, GPS-denied airspace. At a 2.5 m wingspan and 3.0 m length, it delivers a high-altitude, high-endurance performance profile in a lightweight, rapidly deployable airframe, reaching 30,000 ft with over 65 minutes of endurance and a 100 km line-of-sight control range.

Abhay 80

The ABHAY 80 is Anadrone’s flagship high-performance aerial target system, purpose-built to replicate the speed, altitude, and evasive profile of advanced airborne threats — including high-speed aircraft and cruise missile-class targets. Powered by twin turbojet engines, the ABHAY 80 reaches speeds of 180 m/s (approx. 650 km/h), placing it in the high subsonic performance band required to realistically stress-test modern air defence and weapon systems, rather than merely present a passive target. Operating up to 30,000 ft with over 60 minutes of endurance and a 100 km line-of-sight range, it gives test ranges the altitude ceiling, flight duration, and operational reach needed for comprehensive, multi-phase engagement trials.
