Defence Tech Startup Armory Raises INR 13 Cr to Boost R&D and Manufacturing of Indigenous Anti-Drone Systems
In a significant development for India’s growing defence technology sector, cutting-edge startup Armory has successfully raised INR 13 crore in a fresh funding round. The capital will be strategically deployed to scale up the company’s research and development (R&D) and manufacturing capabilities focused on indigenous anti-drone systems.
Revolutionizing India’s Defence Tech Ecosystem
Armory is emerging as a key player in India’s mission for self-reliance in defence manufacturing under the ‘Make in India’ and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. The startup is dedicated to developing next-generation counter-drone technologies, addressing critical national security challenges posed by rogue and hostile drones.
With drone incursions increasing across international borders and sensitive zones, the need for reliable, real-time drone neutralization systems has never been greater. Armory’s innovative solutions are designed to detect, track, and neutralize a wide range of drone threats, both commercial and military-grade.
Funding to Power Innovation and Production
The INR 13 crore funding round, led by a group of strategic angel investors and defence-focused venture funds, marks a pivotal step in Armory’s growth trajectory. The funds will be primarily used to:
- Accelerate R&D of advanced anti-drone detection and jamming technologies
- Expand manufacturing capacity to meet domestic and potential export demand
- Hire top defence and AI talent to strengthen its technical and operational teams
- Collaborate with defence agencies and PSUs for field trials and deployment
According to Armory’s CEO, [Name], “This investment validates our mission to provide robust, homegrown solutions to one of the most pressing defence challenges of the modern era. Our aim is to ensure that Indian defence forces have access to world-class anti-drone systems developed and manufactured locally.”
Anti-Drone Technology: The Future of Border and Homeland Security
Armory’s flagship anti-drone system includes AI-powered radar detection, real-time GPS jamming, and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) deployment capabilities. These systems are designed for rapid deployment in critical areas like:
- International borders
- Strategic military installations
- Airports and public infrastructure
- High-security events and government buildings
The startup is also in discussions with multiple defence and homeland security agencies for pilot testing and early adoption.
Growing Investor Interest in Defence Startups
The successful funding round underscores a growing investor appetite for deep-tech defence startups in India. With increasing geopolitical tensions and government-backed incentives, startups like Armory are well-positioned to not only serve Indian defence needs but also tap into the global market for anti-drone and counter-UAV systems.
