The Indian Ministry of Defence has signed a 4.4-billion-rupee ($46 million) agreement with Accord Software and Systems Private Limited to deliver 20 Enhanced Capability GNSS jammers for the Indian Navy. Under the contract terms, at least 75 percent of the equipment’s content must be produced within India, supporting the nation’s defense indigenization objectives.
Designed for electronic warfare operations, the systems are capable of denying adversaries access to Global Navigation Satellite System signals, while also enabling spoofing and deceptive jamming functions. Indian officials believe the capability will enhance naval survivability and operational security in increasingly contested maritime theaters.
The government described the deal as an important achievement in its efforts to strengthen defense preparedness while accelerating the development and adoption of indigenous military technologies.
The acquisition forms part of a wider modernization drive across India’s armed forces. In recent weeks, the Indian Army progressed plans for the procurement of up to 300 additional K-9 Vajra self-propelled artillery systems, a project valued at roughly 230 billion rupees ($2.4 billion). These platforms are built domestically by Larsen & Toubro under a technology-transfer arrangement with Hanwha Aerospace of South Korea.
At the same time, New Delhi is assessing the deployment of 10-kW-class laser-based counter-drone weapons on T-90 and Arjun tanks. The system would combine AI-powered processing with infrared and radar sensors to detect, monitor, and neutralize threats across a full 360-degree coverage area.
Additionally, the Defence Research and Development Laboratory launched development activities in May for an advanced missile navigation and guidance suite intended to enhance strike precision and improve trajectory correction during flight.
