Indian startup AVGARDE has won the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Dare to Dream 4.0 contest for countermeasures for drones and swarms of drones. The company competed under the national-level startup innovations category.
Incubated at the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore and the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, AVGARDE is building an AI-driven object sensing platform for low-altitude airspace management. Currently, the AVGARDE DeepSense platform offers three product lines: DroneSafe – an AI-enabled counter-drone system to detect, classify, mitigate and report aerial risks/threats from aerial objects; DIWAR – an all-band GPS jammer for tackling drones and inhibiting its airborne motions; and BirdsEye – a bird detection and monitoring radar.
The DRDO Dare to Dream competition provides an opportunity for startups and innovators to address key challenges in emerging technologies that can help boost India’s aerospace and defence capabilities.
