Technology and Products
Gurutvaa Systems develops precision electronic systems including inertial sensors, radio frequency components, radar, and automated test equipment. However, it is best known for its counter-drone technology.
Product: The DRONAAM counter-unmanned aerial system is a modular device that can be configured in various forms: rifle-style handheld unit, backpack-carried unit, or mounted on fixed or moving installations. It offers either single-directional or all-round coverage.
The DRONAAM system works by disrupting the satellite navigation and control signals that commercial drones rely on, effectively bringing them down without firing any projectiles. This 'soft kill' approach is both effective and non-destructive.
Impact and Deployment
Counter-drone technology became crucial in India after several incidents on the northern borders where small drones were intercepted carrying payloads. The Indian government has since pushed for procurement from Indian suppliers.
Deployment: The Indian Air Force ordered the DRONAAM system in August 2021. The company completed design, prototype build, customer approval, and the first production batch within eight months. By November 2022, bulk deliveries had begun.
Training: Gurutvaa Systems trained over 200 personnel of the armed forces in operating and maintaining DRONAAM.
High-profile Deployment: DRONAAM units were deployed around Delhi during the G20 summit in 2023, at key locations such as Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, Raj Ghat, and Akshardham.
Government Recognition: Union Home Minister Amit Shah credited DRONAAM for raising the rate at which incoming drones were neutralised in the Punjab sector from 3% to 55%.
Growth and Future Prospects
Gurutvaa Systems has seen steady growth in revenue, from ₹5.91 crore in the previous year to ₹8.08 crore in 2025. The company has 26 employees as of April 2026. It has one undisclosed institutional investor.
Innovation: The company is part of India's iDEX defence innovation framework and showcased its fully owned counter-drone patent portfolio at Bharat Innovates in Nice in June 2026. It is also seeking procurement and integration partners.
