IG Defence Test-Fires Rocket Motors for JWALA Micro-Missile Counter-Drone System
IG Defence successfully test-fired two solid rocket motors for JWALA, India's first indigenous private-sector micro-missile designed for hard-kill counter-unmanned aerial system (UAS) capability. The missile, intended as part of a broader counter-UAS system, aims to physically neutralize hostile drones with a 2-5 km range and integration with an AI-powered battle-management system called GRID. This propulsion test marks a key milestone toward developing an affordable, scalable interceptor to address the growing drone threat in modern conflicts.
