Building anti drone systems against rogue drone threats at @armoryshield⚡️ Previously founding team @ideaforge_tech ⚡️

[Amardeep Singh @singhamardeep]

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. Reach out.

🚨 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.

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

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

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

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.

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

[Amardeep Singh @singhamardeep]

Operation Sindoor will be remembered as the inflection point in India’s journey from importing defence to building sovereign military capability. 🇮🇳

One of the very important choices we made early on was to build hardware like software - iterative.

Instead of designing products in simulations we chose to take crude prototypes to field early and often. That's the only way we understand.

This has also been a great filter to recruit as well - whoever thinks that you need to design a perfect product and sets timelines in months is an easy to spot misfit.

Our timelines work in days and weeks, not months and years.

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. 🇮🇳

[Inc42 @Inc42]

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.

@vgb66kx2fr Took me back over a decade. Feels like it was in a different lifetime. You were there 🙌

[Amardeep Singh @singhamardeep]

No better joy than to build things from scratch for your country's sovereign defence capabilities. भारत में, यहीं और अब।

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

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

@singhamardeep Always in rescue mode. This one commands a salute for rescue op aid in Kedarnath 2013

@parthgohil09 Ah! Been a while since someone mentioned those videos 😀

'Reminiscences from Ladakh' video remains my fav video too.

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

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. 🇮🇳

AI will become the next technological superiority in Wars. India needs to embrace it at the scale US Dept.of War is thinking.

[Department of War CTO @DoWCTO]

Today, the @DeptofWar entered into agreements with SEVEN of the world's leading frontier AI model and infrastructure companies to deploy frontier capabilities on the Department's classified networks:

• SpaceX
• OpenAI
• Google
• NVIDIA
• Reflection
• Microsoft
• Amazon Web Services

This is just the latest initiative in our mandate to create an AI-FIRST WAR DEPARTMENT 🇺🇸

@anandmahindra We at @ArmoryShield are building Sovereign Defence capabilities starting with completely indigenous counter drone systems - Surge. Field tested with armed forces.

[Amardeep Singh @singhamardeep]

@anandmahindra The biggest limitation HPM is range.. 500m-800m at best. They never talk about it.

[Nitin Sharma @nitinsharma1]

Come build the future of Indian defence.
@ArmoryShield is hiring for 15 new roles.

If you identify with the mission of 100% indigenously developed best counter-drone stack, and more, come do the best work of your life with @singhamardeep & team
