• Developed by DRDO, it provides multi-layered protection within a 30 km radius over Delhi-NCR's 'VIP-89 Zone'.
• System counters modern aerial threats like drones, cruise missiles, and loitering munitions in real-time.
• Decision influenced by geopolitical tensions, including the Pahalgam attack and successful thwarting of Pakistani retaliation.
