Hyderabad, May 9, 2023: Hyderabad-based Grene Robotics has completed the successful acquisition of C4ISRT platform from Apogee C4I LLP, a first-of-its-kind indigenous defence technology company that has received multiple validations and implementations in this space.

In 2021, Grene Robotics introduced the worlds only comprehensive Autonomous Drone Security System – Indrajaal™.  Indrajaal™ has the ability to cover vast areas of up to 4000 sq. km per system and can provide a comprehensive framework to defend against all classifications and all levels of autonomous drones. The system defends against various low RCS threats, including medium and high-altitude long endurance (MALE & HALE) UAVs, loitering munition, smart bombs, rocket showers, nano and micro drones, swarm drones, and more.

To further bolster Indrajaal™s capabilities, Grene Robotics has strategically acquired deep tech IP from Apogee C4I to further enhance its drone and anti-drone defence program. This move is expected to significantly strengthen the companys capabilities in the defence sector and contribute to the advancement of larger implementations on a national and international level, establishing Grene Robotics as a leading global provider of counter-drone security systems. Apogees deep-tech defence technology is a powerful stack that provides Grene Robotics with a competitive edge in the market, ensuring that it stays ahead of the curve.

Kiran Raju, Founder & CEO, Grene Robotics said, We are pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of Apogee C4Is deep tech defence IP. Indrajaal is the worlds only anti-drone system that can defend against all classifications and all levels of autonomous drones. With the integration of Apogees advanced deep tech platform, we aim to bolster Indrajaals anti-drone capabilities further.

Wg Cdr MVN Sai (Retd), Director of Emerging Technologies, Grene Robotics said, By leveraging Apogee C4Is deep-tech capabilities, Indrajaal will be able to detect and classify drones in real-time, provide unparalleled situational awareness and enable proactive air defence measures. The now combined capabilities of Grene Robotics and Apogee C4I will help set a new industry standard for anti-drone solutions future-proofing protection against emerging low RCS threats.

Vamsi Vellanki, Executive Director - Finance & Investments said, We expect this acquisition to significantly increase shareholder value and drive the companys growth. In a recent report, the global anti-drone market is projected to reach USD 12.6 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 27.65% from 2022 to 2030. With the deep-tech capabilities, we can enhance our offerings, streamline operations, and stay ahead of competitors, showcasing our commitment to innovation and industry leadership.
