Named for the god of fire. Non-ISM band operation with frequency-hopping and band-hopping telemetry. Designed for the environments where digital drones fail — GPS-denied, high-EW contested theatres. When the spectrum is hostile, Agni flies.
Every modern defence force now deploys electronic warfare capability. Commercial drones — built for the 2.4 GHz ISM band — become liabilities the moment the RF environment turns hostile. Agni is engineered for precisely these conditions.
Agni's telemetry stack operates outside standard civilian ISM bands, and dynamically hops across frequencies and bands during mission execution. Adversary jammers cannot lock onto a stationary signal because the signal is never stationary.
When GNSS is jammed, Agni falls back to optical flow, inertial navigation, and — when networked with other Agni units — cooperative positioning. The mission continues when the GPS dies.
| Domain | Threat Environment | Agni Response |
|---|---|---|
| Border ISR | Active RF jamming from adversary | Band-hop evasion, non-ISM telemetry |
| Urban Warfare | Multipath interference, spoofing | Cooperative positioning, optical flow |
| GPS-Denied | Full GNSS jam | Inertial + optical fallback |
| Electronic Warfare | Broad-spectrum threats | Dynamic band reallocation |
| Counter-UAS | Adversary detection systems | Low-signature telemetry footprint |
Agni telemetry principles can be cross-applied to Rudra strike platforms and Nandi ordnance-drop platforms — giving every mission type EW-hardened operation.
