Zen Technologies unveils indigenous anti-drone system for data centres, other critical infra | Hyderabad News

Hyderabad: Zen Technologies has developed an indigenous anti-drone system aimed at protecting India’s data centres, semiconductor fabrication plants and other critical infrastructure from emerging unmanned aerial threats.The company said the system, called Critical Infrastructure Threat Detection & Electronic Layer (CITADEL), has been developed as a customised counter-unmanned aircraft solution for high-value facilities that increasingly support artificial intelligence, cloud computing, govt services and digital commerce.According to Zen Technologies, the system provides a dedicated security layer covering detection, identification, tracking and neutralisation of unauthorised drones. The platform can be configured according to a facility’s threat profile, geography, airspace, physical layout, existing surveillance network and security protocols, allowing operators to integrate it with broader physical security systems, it added.The system offers drone detection at ranges of up to 5 km through continuous wideband radio-frequency scanning across the 400 MHz to 6 GHz spectrum. It also provides omni-directional jamming up to 3 km, designed to disrupt drone command links and GNSS signals simultaneously.It also includes multi-target and swarm detection capabilities for coordinated drone attack scenarios and is designed for round-the-clock, all-weather operation using indigenous architecture, the company said.
