AvGarde's DroneSafe AI-Enabled Anti-Drone System Wins Dream 4.0 Drone Countermeasure Contest

Defense News ,India :-  AvGarde Systems, a startup based in Assam, recently achieved a significant milestone by winning the prestigious Dream 4.0 contest. This victory has solidified their position as leaders in the domestic defense technology sector. The competition focused on finding innovative solutions to combat the threats posed by both individual drones and coordinated drone swarms. AvGarde's winning entry, called "DroneSafe," has garnered attention for its groundbreaking approach to addressing these challenges.

"DroneSafe" is not just another technology; it's a sophisticated, AI-powered Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) designed specifically to tackle the increasing threat of malicious drone and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) activities. Its functionalities are cutting-edge and geared towards comprehensive threat mitigation.

One of the key features of "DroneSafe" is its advanced detection capabilities. It utilizes state-of-the-art AI algorithms to accurately identify and locate drones and UAVs within its operational range. This ensures that potential threats are detected and addressed swiftly.

Moreover, the system goes beyond mere detection by intelligently classifying the identified aerial objects. This classification enables a detailed assessment of the potential threats they may pose, allowing for a more targeted response.

In the event of a recognized threat, "DroneSafe" initiates appropriate countermeasures to neutralize the rogue drone or UAV promptly. This ensures a swift and effective response to potential security breaches, mitigating risks effectively.

Additionally, the system provides detailed reports on detected aerial threats, facilitating well-informed security decisions. This comprehensive approach to threat management sets "DroneSafe" apart from other solutions in the market.

In addition to "DroneSafe," AvGarde Systems showcased two supplementary offerings during the Dream 4.0 contest:

• DIWAR: An all-band GPS jammer designed to disrupt the navigation systems of drones, preventing them from reaching their intended targets effectively.

• BirdsEye: An intelligent Bird Detection and Monitoring Radar (BDMR) with dual functionality. Initially developed to enhance aviation safety by issuing early warnings of bird activity near airports, BirdsEye can also detect and monitor drone threats efficiently.

AvGarde Systems' performance in the Dream 4.0 contest is a testament to India's growing commitment to indigenous defense technology development. Their innovative solutions address modern security challenges head-on, spanning various sectors including drone detection and countermeasures, low-altitude airspace monitoring, critical infrastructure protection, unmanned traffic management, military, homeland and border security, multilayer perimeter intrusion detection, drone fleet operations, and airspace situational awareness.

The key features of AvGarde Systems' solutions include:

• Smart Radar Sensor providing 360-degree coverage for continuous scanning and tracking.
• Exceptional range resolution and micro-target detection capabilities.
• AI-based classification of different targets and their parametric information for precise threat assessment.
• Soft-kill countermeasures integrating jammer and spoofer functionalities.
• Jamming capabilities targeting GNSS, WiFi, and telemetry bands.
• Instant alarm system via message, email, and sound alerts ensuring prompt response to threats.
• User-friendly dashboard offering real-time monitoring and reporting functionalities.
• Rugged design with flexible ground and vehicular mounting options for versatile deployment scenarios.

Overall, AvGarde Systems' success in the Dream 4.0 contest highlights their innovative approach to addressing modern security challenges and underscores India's growing prowess in indigenous defense technology development.
