New Delhi. IG Defence an indigenous defence technology company, has secured orders from 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 an important step in strengthening India’s counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) capabilities and reflects the growing reliance of the armed forces on domestically developed technologies under the Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
The IG T-Shul Pulse is a handheld, electronic-warfare-based anti-drone jammer designed to disrupt and neutralise hostile drones in operational environments. Lightweight and quick to deploy, the system is intended for frontline troops, perimeter security, and the protection of military bases and critical strategic assets. With an effective jamming range of up to 2 kilometres under line-of-sight and interference-free conditions, it provides tactical units with an immediate response capability against emerging aerial threats.
Beyond immediate operational use, the induction of the IG T-Shul Pulse significantly strengthens India’s preparedness against asymmetric, drone threats increasingly used for surveillance, disruption, and cross-border infiltration. Technically, the architecture represents a move beyond narrow, single-band jamming approaches that have struggled against adaptive or frequency-agile drones. Modern hostile UAVs – whether commercially derived or purpose-built – typically rely on multiple RF pathways for command, telemetry, navigation, and fail-safe recovery. Effective neutralisation therefore requires simultaneous, multi-band RF denial delivered in a controlled and directional manner. The emphasis on directional electronic suppression allows threat engagement without unnecessarily degrading friendly communications or onboard naval systems.
Another distinguishing factor is the system’s emphasis on standalone operation and electronic isolation. The counter-UAS solution reflects a decisive shift from legacy, single-function jammers to a multi-band, directionally controlled electronic denial architecture engineered for frontline military use. By concentrating electronic energy toward the threat axis, the system improves neutralisation effectiveness while minimising electromagnetic spillover and reducing cyber and electronic attack surfaces, enabling reliable deployment across contested electromagnetic environments on land and at sea.
While IG Defence has already demonstrated its operational combat capability through the successful deployment of the IG FPV Striker during Operation Sindoor, the T-Shul Pulse builds on that experience as a fully indigenous, standalone, network-independent system with integrated safety mechanisms. Following the orders, IG Defence has confirmed a delivery and induction timeline of approximately one month. The system is proprietary, entirely designed, developed, and manufactured in India, with production capacity currently in the hundreds and scalable to meet operational requirements.
Commenting on the development, Maj Gen R C Padhi, Senior Vice President, IG Defence said, “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.”
With sustained investment in in-house R&D, 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.
