Breaking: Armory has won a ₹100 Cr order from the Ministry of Defence and Surge is going to the frontlines. We are officially an Indian Defence Manufacturer and we're not going to pretend to be cool about this. We're proud. Really, really proud. Built from zero. 20 trials. Took notes from the soldiers who'd actually use it. Went back. Enhanced it. And won MoD’s trust in us. To the frontlines. Surge is ready. 🇮🇳

Drones are terrifying. They literally scream as they approach you, like an Aztec death whistle. I experienced this firsthand during a live demonstration in Hyderabad recently (vid coming soon). "But if you can hear them coming, why don't you just take aim and knock them out of the sky?" These drones are tiny and ridiculously fast. Their payloads are small but lethal. Even the world's best sharpshooter has no chance of hitting one. It's like trying to hit a hummingbird with darts. Net-based systems are also useless. By the time the net deploys and is airborne, the drone is somewhere else. This is why companies like Armory are so important. They're building an invisible shield for Indian soldiers. The only way to defend against drones is continuous multi-threat monitoring and long-range detection, paired with precision jamming. Armory is building the best C-UAS in India. That's why the Ministry of Defence placed a ₹100 crore order for their SURGE system in May. Can't wait to visit their manufacturing facility in Gurugram soon.

🚨 Indian defencetech startup Armory is putting their indigenous anti-drone jammer system into production. After securing a ₹100 crore order from the Ministry of Defence, @ArmoryShield has built a one-acre factory in Gurugram to manufacture their modular C-UAS, SURGE.

We had a special guest at the Armory lab who seemed to enjoy downing a drone or two. More from @RuntimeBRT soon.

Scaling up and pacing up ✨

A 100 eyes to watch the sky and more reasons for us to look ahead. SURGE, now ready to serve at scale. 🇮🇳

Join us and build defence-tech that ships. Real systems. Going to real frontlines. Used by real soldiers. 🇮🇳 We just landed a ₹100 Cr order from the Ministry of Defence, we're scaling fast and we need people who don't wait around for permission. Hiring across engineering, product, ops, and manufacturing. armory.in/careers

Some BTS stills of the effort it takes to go from 0 to 100 CR order in 400 days. Here is @wiresurfer in action setting up SURGE demo units before it forces a host of drones into submission. #SurgeOffToTheFrontline

"We are so back..." Well, it was never over for us to begin with. A beautiful morning to manufacture in Bharat. #SurgeOffToTheFrontline

SURGE headed where it belongs - the frontline. Now manufacturing for Indian defence forces. 🇮🇳

Gurugram-based @ArmoryShield Wins ₹100 Crore MoD Contract for SURGE Anti-Drone Systems (IAF)

Defence tech startup @ArmoryShield has secured a ₹100 Cr ($10.5 Mn) order from the defence ministry for its AI-powered counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS), SURGE.👇 Under the agreement, the company will manufacture and deploy SURGE systems for Indian forces. The platform leverages its proprietary ‘Samaritan OS’ to detect, track, and neutralise rogue drones by scanning environments at high frequency and continuously learning new RF signatures to strengthen its threat library. Following the order, Armory plans to scale its manufacturing capacity, expand hiring, enhance its product portfolio, and strengthen its R&D centre in Manesar. Founded in 2024 by Amardeep Singh (@singhamardeep), Armory develops AI-enabled C-UAS solutions designed to detect and counter rogue drones, with systems built using continuous user feedback to address real-world operational conditions. 🔗 Read the full article here: 4-2.co/4wd677w #Inc42 #news #Startups #Startupfundings #Defencetech

"Our job is to hit the target, not to count the body bags" We commemorate the first anniversary of victory of #OperationSindoor 🇮🇳 The aftermath has set off the most significant shift in Indian defence in a decade.

2 years of product evolution in 30 seconds. Whiteboard sketches. Prototypes. 20 trials. Soldier feedback. Sleepless nights - all culminating into a contract from the Ministry of Defence. SURGE is headed for the frontlines. and this is just the beginning. 🇮🇳

Armory is officially a manufacturer for the Indian Defence Forces... ..and we can't stop saying this sentence out loud. In service of Bharat 🇮🇳

Sovereign Defence. Nothing less. We did not get here by talking. We got here because a small team burnt the midnight oil bent over oscilloscopes, RF benches, soldering stations, and FPGA toolchains, building things from first principles when it would have been easier to import them. This contract matters but what it represents matters more: that Sovereign Defence capability is not a slide in a deck anymore. It is a deliverable, on a PO, with a delivery schedule. This changes nothing about how we work tomorrow morning. The next system still has to be designed, debugged, qualified, shipped. To the early investors who wrote cheques on conviction, before defence in India was a fashionable thesis, and who understood that this work does not move on consumer timelines - a big thank you! If you build things on hard mode, if you want to contribute to building Sovereign Defence, we are hiring across the stack.
