Missile-based air defence can cost crores per intercept against drones worth a fraction of that. Vayu Rakshak is the airborne interceptor built to close that cost gap — launch from any vehicle, hunt autonomously, neutralise kinetically.
Vayu Rakshak launches from any vehicle, pursues a hostile drone autonomously, and engages it kinetically — the mobile airborne intercept layer no indigenous system currently offers.
A fraction of the cost of a missile intercept.
Airframe, navigation and mission autonomy, built in-house.
Homegrown AI guidance algorithms.
No manual piloting required.
Fully autonomous target engagement.
Slots into existing radar infrastructure.
Multi-unit coordination against drone swarms.
The same autonomy stack — detect, pursue, engage, coordinate — is domain-agnostic. Built once, it re-hulls for air, land, and water, in both offensive and defensive roles.
Proven — for the flight envelope they were designed for. Built for stable hover and moderate speeds, with margins that assume gentle flight dynamics. Flight safety inherited from a community repo.
Engineered for high-speed, high-agility pursuit — where a millisecond error is a mission-ending one. Flight safety we own, not one we inherit.
The flying prototype today — launches from any ground vehicle for perimeter and aerial defense against incoming drones and projectiles.
Deployed from an existing airborne platform — jet, helicopter, or larger carrier drone — to reach and engage targets beyond ground range, on assignment.
Coastal and maritime denial, sharing the same core autonomy stack.
Offensive, defensive & swarm-coordinated. Every hull can strike or intercept. Multiple units share a common coordination layer to counter multi-drone swarms — not just single targets.
One core R&D investment → multiple procurement categories across the armed forces.
Vayu Rakshak is moving from flying prototype to field-ready interceptor. If you're evaluating counter-drone systems or exploring a partnership, we'd welcome a conversation.
