“The conversation around drones has largely been around their offensive capabilities,” said Satyabrata Satapathy, Co-founder and CEO of BONV Technologies. “We think the equally important question is what daily life problems they can solve. A soldier at a forward post needs food, medicine and equipment every single day. Inclement weather is the adversary here and our jawans should not face logistics shortages while protecting our borders. That’s the problem we’re trying to solve.”

“SENTINEL-DOME has been designed to address one of the fastest-growing security challenges facing critical infrastructure today. As drone technology becomes increasingly accessible, organizations require advanced capabilities to detect threats early, make informed decisions quickly, and respond effectively. Our goal is to deliver an integrated and autonomous defence solution that strengthens security resilience and helps organizations stay ahead of evolving aerial threats,” said Ashish Kumar, Managing Director, OptiValue Tek.

A new generation of defense-tech startups is driving innovation across aerospace, autonomous systems, AI, cybersecurity, advanced electronics, and next-generation military technologies. These emerging players are not only strengthening India's self-reliance in defense manufacturing but also contributing to the vision of a technologically empowered and secure Bharat.

“Repeated drone breaches at restricted locations show that disruption alone is not enough. India’s counter-UAS framework must include the ability to physically neutralise an unauthorised drone once it enters protected airspace,” said Satyabrata Satapathy, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, BonV Aero.

BonV Aero has called for integrating physical neutralisation capabilities into India’s counter-drone architecture, highlighting that relying solely on signal jamming may not be sufficient against autonomous or pre-programmed UAVs. The company advocates interceptor technologies—such as net-based drone interception systems—that can physically disable hostile drones once detected and tracked, providing a final safeguard for sensitive infrastructure and restricted airspace.
