India-Pak conflict: India’s anti-drone UAS grid and air defence system explained


In the ongoing armed conflict between India and Pakistan on the border, it has emerged that on the night of 7-8 May 2025, Pakistan tried to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India with drones and missiles, according to an official release. However, these attempts were swiftly dealt with and neutralised by India’s Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems.

In case you are wondering, India’s Integrated Counter UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) Grid and Air Defence Systems are a collection of sophisticated, multi-layered technological framework designed to detect, track, and neutralize any incoming hostile drones, missiles, and aerial threats into Indian airspace or terrestrial land border – as was demonstrated during the May 2025 India-Pakistan conflict.

What is India's Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence System?

According to several reports, the system is a comprehensive network that combines advanced sensors, radars, electronic warfare tools, and kinetic interceptors that are deployed across critical regions to provide real-time surveillance and rapid response against any type of aerial incursions.
