C2C Advanced Systems wins Rs order for 29 AI counter-drone systems, delivery in 2026

Bengaluru-based C2C Advanced Systems has secured a key contract to develop and deliver 29 mission computing systems for counter-drone operations, announced in March 2026. The deal highlights the company’s growing role in India’s rapidly expanding defence technology sector.
The project focuses on building specialised computing units designed to detect and counter unmanned aerial threats. Equipped with advanced AI, these systems will enable real-time data processing crucial for modern counter-drone missions. Delivery is scheduled within 2026, reflecting the firm’s emphasis on timely execution amid increasing demand for indigenous defence solutions.
C2C Advanced Systems, known for its AI-driven defence technologies, continues to strengthen its position in tackling aerial security challenges. This contract marks an important step forward in drone detection capabilities and signals rising trust in private players as India pushes for self-reliance through initiatives like Atmanirbhar Bharat.
With drone threats growing in both military and civilian environments, such mission computing systems play a vital role by integrating sensor data with AI to detect, track, and neutralise intrusions. The 29 units are expected to enhance domestic defence capabilities across border security, infrastructure protection, and military use.
The deal also reflects India’s shift toward supporting home-grown defence companies, reducing reliance on imports. Successful execution could open doors for future orders, especially as drone swarm threats evolve. It further reinforces Bengaluru’s position as a major hub for defence innovation while strengthening India’s strategic capabilities in aerial defence.
