Under the acquisition programme, the Army's integrated drone detection and interdiction systems are being significantly enhanced, officials said.

India has been ramping up the counter-terror grid of the Indian Army to strongly combat Pakistan-backed terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.

New Delhi carried out precision strikes on nine terror infrastructures in Pakistani territories on May 7 in response to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack.

The defence ministry said it is procuring military systems like low-level lightweight radars, very short-range air defence missiles and launchers, remotely piloted aerial vehicles and loitering munitions, including vertical take-off and landing systems.

The ministry has concluded contracts, amounting to ₹1,981 crore as against an overall sanctioned outlay of ₹2,000 crore for the Indian Army.
