Noida, India – March 22, 2025 – In an era where aerial threats are evolving rapidly, Agniforge Industries is stepping up as a vital player in fortifying India’s defense landscape. Established in 2021 by founder Durgesh Nandan and headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, this innovative company is leveraging homegrown technology to address critical security needs. With their flagship Link RC drone transmitter and receiver system and the anti-drone Jammer, Agniforge is proving that Indian ingenuity can deliver both offensive and defensive aerial solutions, aligning with the nation’s “Make in India” defense push.
Link RC: Precision Control for Defense Drones
For any military operation, control is king—and Agniforge’s Link RC delivers it in spades. Billed as India’s first indigenous drone transmitter and receiver system, Link RC is engineered to keep defense UAVs on a tight leash, even in high-stakes scenarios. Operating on a secure 2.4 GHz frequency with a 10 km line-of-sight range, it uses encrypted signals to ensure no enemy can hijack the feed. Weighing just 350 grams, the transmitter is a compact powerhouse, featuring a joystick, channel switches, and an LCD screen that relays real-time telemetry—battery levels, signal strength, and drone status.
The receiver, paired with Agniforge’s military-grade drones like the Swift Air and Cosmos series, boasts a 5W output and multi-channel support, making it ideal for surveillance, reconnaissance, and tactical missions along India’s borders. Whether it’s monitoring hostile incursions or guiding precision strikes, Link RC ensures operators maintain unwavering command over their UAVs. For a military facing diverse threats—from Pakistan’s drone incursions to insurgency in rugged terrains—this system offers a reliable, homegrown lifeline, reducing dependence on foreign tech that could be compromised or cut off in conflict.
Jammer: A Shield Against Aerial Threats
While Link RC empowers India’s drone fleet, Agniforge’s Jammer flips the script to neutralize enemy UAVs. In modern warfare, drones aren’t just tools—they’re weapons, smuggling arms, spying, or even delivering explosives. The Jammer counters this by detecting and disabling rogue drones within a 2 km radius. Using radio frequency jamming across 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands, it severs their control links and GPS, forcing them to land or retreat. At 5 kg, it’s portable enough for rapid deployment by the Army, Air Force, or paramilitary units, with a directional antenna ensuring precise targeting and a 2-hour battery life for sustained operations.
This anti-drone tech is a game-changer for India’s defense strategy. With reports of hostile drones breaching borders and sensitive installations, the Jammer provides a proactive shield. Deploy it at air bases, military HQ, or strategic sites like dams and power plants, and it creates a no-fly zone for unauthorized UAVs. For a nation bolstering its aerial defenses—like the recent Netra AEW&C upgrades—Agniforge’s Jammer adds a critical layer of protection against low-altitude, hard-to-detect threats.
A Defense-First Portfolio
Agniforge’s defense angle doesn’t end with Link RC and Jammer. Their website showcases a lineup of military-grade drones designed for combat and intelligence roles. The Swift Air and Cosmos series, integrated with Link RC, offer payloads and flight times (15-20 minutes) suited for quick, decisive missions. These UAVs can carry cameras, sensors, or lightweight munitions, supporting everything from real-time battlefield intel to targeted operations in conflict zones like Jammu & Kashmir or the Northeast.
The company’s focus on indigenous R&D—building both drones and their control systems from scratch—slashes reliance on imports, a strategic win for India’s defense planners. With an ISO 9001:2015 certification backing their quality, Agniforge is positioning itself as a trusted partner for the armed forces, potentially supplying units for border security or counter-insurgency ops.
Strategic Relevance in Today’s Threatscape
India’s defense needs are urgent. Pakistan’s use of drones for smuggling and surveillance, coupled with China’s growing UAV capabilities, demands a robust response. Agniforge’s tech hits the mark: Link RC ensures Indian drones stay operational and secure, while the Jammer neutralizes enemy ones. Pair this with the IAF’s push for AEW&C systems, and you’ve got a multi-tiered aerial defense network—big aircraft watching from above, Agniforge’s drones and jammers guarding the ground.
Their Noida facility and Bihar roots reflect a commitment to local manufacturing, aligning with national goals to indigenize defense production. While their primary drone range (like TITAN V’s 2 km) is shorter than military-grade imports, the integration of Link RC and Jammer makes them a practical, scalable solution for immediate threats.
The Road Forward
Agniforge Industries is still a young player, but its defense-focused innovations are timely. Scaling up to meet military demand and securing contracts with the MoD will be key challenges. Yet, with Link RC offering control and Jammer delivering denial, they’re already addressing real gaps in India’s aerial security.
