Guardian of the Airspace
A systems design research project exploring advanced C-UAS architectures. Investigating passive RF detection, cyber takeover protocols, and terrain-aware response strategies for complex environments.
"Inspired by the guardian deities of Uttarakhand, Bhumyal symbolizes vigilant protection—building systems that understand the environment before acting upon it."
Eliminates false alarms. Real-time GPS tracking monitors drones, pilots, and take-off points to differentiate authorized vs unauthorized traffic.
Safe control of rogue drones. Non-kinetic methods avoid collateral damage, allowing configurable responses like safe landing or return-to-origin.
Adaptable design for vehicular, tactical, and stationary use. Seamlessly integrates with existing C2 systems in urban or noisy environments.
Equipped to handle drone swarms and long-range threats with continuous software updates to counter evolving tactics.
| Feature | Traditional Jamming / Hardkill | Bhumyal (Cyber Takeover) |
|---|---|---|
| Interference | High interference with GPS & civilian comms. Unsuitable for urban areas. | No RF/GPS interference. Safe for public infrastructure. |
| Autonomous Drones | Often ineffective against drones not relying on external signals. | Advanced detection and protocol analysis. |
| Neutralization Outcome | Unpredictable crashes. High risk of collateral damage. | Controlled safe landing or Return-to-Home. Zero collateral damage. |
| Intent Analysis | Often blind to intent (Hostile vs Friendly). | Passive RF accurately identifies drone intent & pilot location. |
"Bhumyal offers a robust solution for enhancing security in military, border, and urban environments, ensuring operational continuity in sensitive areas."
