What Sharang Shakti does

Sharang Shakti Private Limited is an Indian defence robotics company founded in 2023 by IIT Delhi graduates and headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana (with a registered office in Noida, Uttar Pradesh). The company designs and builds Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) solutions for government and military customers, comprising an integrated three-product stack: the vajR kinetic collision interceptor for hard-kill aerial neutralisation, the hantR net-launching interceptor for non-lethal capture of rogue drones, and a low C-SWaP X-Band Drone Detection Radar providing 360-degree azimuthal early-warning coverage.

The underlying technology is built from first principles and is indigenous to India. Both interceptors operate autonomously after receiving target coordinates from ground stations, using onboard EO/IR sensors and proprietary machine-learning algorithms for target detection, tracking, and interception, with a human-in-the-loop override maintained for critical control. The radar detects micro drones (RCS 0.02 sqm) at 1 km and larger multi-rotors at 1.4 km, with a 1.5-second update rate and 1-degree azimuthal accuracy. A deep neural network trained on an in-house managed dataset supports autonomous detection and tracking, and the company's technology stack overlaps directly with adjacent autonomous aviation applications.

Commercially, Sharang Shakti sells hardware systems, provides R&D and consulting services, performs system installation and integration, and offers managed maintenance on multi-year contracts. Pricing is custom and consultation-based, quoted in Indian Rupees with advance payments often required, and sales are pursued through direct engagement—originally via website and WhatsApp inquiry, and now increasingly through LAT Aerospace's network following its February 2026 acquisition. The customer base is concentrated in a single vertical (Indian government and defence buyers), and prior to the LAT acquisition the company had raised only approximately USD 600,000 in pre-seed funding from AUM Ventures and Venture Highway in 2024.

Core offering

Sharang Shakti develops and sells indigenously built counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) hardware and related defence robotics services for airspace surveillance and threat mitigation. Its commercial lineup consists of the vajR kinetic collision interceptor, the hantR net-launching non-lethal interceptor, and an X-Band Drone Detection Radar, complemented by R&D, consulting, system integration, installation, and maintenance services for military and security clients.

Product overview

Sharang Shakti is a defense robotics company offering a unified Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) portfolio. The product suite comprises two interceptor types (vajR for kinetic hard-kill and hantR for net-capture non-lethal interception) and a Drone Detection Radar for early warning surveillance. These products are designed to work as an integrated airspace protection system, where the radar provides detection and targeting data to interceptors for autonomous threat neutralization. The company also provides related services including R&D in defense robotics, technological consulting, system installation, and maintenance.

• LAT AerospacecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 February 2026LAT Aerospace, co-founded by Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal and former Zomato COO Surobhi Das, acquired Sharang Shakti in February 2026. The acquisition marks LAT Aerospace's strategic entry into defence robotics. Sharang Shakti's counter-drone and C-UAS technologies complement LAT Aerospace's civil aviation programme, with overlapping technologies in autonomy, sensing, navigation, and control systems. LAT Aerospace committed $25 million in funding with $20 million tranche deployed so far.

Direct peers

• DroneShield: Australian listed counter-UAS specialist offering DroneSentry and DroneGun counter-drone solutions. Direct competitor to Sharang Shakti's integrated detection-and-interdiction C-UAS portfolio for government and defence clients globally.
• Dedrone: US-based counter-UAS platform focused on airspace detection, tracking, and identification. Competes with Sharang Shakti's drone detection radar offering and shares the same government and critical-infrastructure buyer segments.
• Fortem Technologies: US counter-drone company offering DroneHunter, an autonomous interceptor UAV that physically captures rogue drones — closely comparable in concept to Sharang Shakti's hantR net-launching interceptor and vajR kinetic solutions.

Regional players

• ideaForge Technology: India's leading indigenous drone manufacturer serving defence, security, and industrial markets. While primarily a drone producer rather than a counter-drone company, it is the most directly comparable Indian defence-drone peer and addresses overlapping defence procurement channels.
• Zen Technologies: Indian defence training and counter-drone systems company providing anti-drone solutions and simulation systems to Indian armed forces. A direct regional competitor in India's domestic C-UAS procurement market.

Broad incumbents

• Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL): Large Indian public-sector defence electronics prime with established C-UAS and radar portfolios. Competes with Sharang Shakti for Indian military procurement but as a much larger incumbent with existing certifications and multi-decade relationships.
• Anduril Industries: US defence-tech prime offering autonomous systems including counter-UAS (Roadrunner, Lattice). Comparable as a venture-backed defence-tech competitor pursuing autonomy-first counter-drone solutions at significantly greater scale and capital.
• Rafael Advanced Defense Systems: Israeli defence prime with established counter-UAS systems (Drone Dome). A meaningful global competitor in the same procurement arenas and an active exporter into India's defence market.
• IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries): Israeli aerospace and defence prime with counter-UAS offerings such as ELTA's Drone Guard radar and integrated systems. Comparable as a broad incumbent providing radar + effector C-UAS solutions to defence customers globally, including India.

Others

• Solar Industries India: Indian explosives and defence products manufacturer with a growing portfolio in munitions and counter-drone systems. Not a direct competitor, but a peer in the broader indigenous Indian defence industrial ecosystem that targets overlapping procurement budgets.
