Paras Defence wins French anti-drone order

Paras Defence surged 4% after securing a ₹22 crore international order from French defence firm Cerbair for its anti-drone systems. 

Cerbair is a French company that makes anti-drone systems to detect, track, and neutralise rogue drones for security and defence.

The deets: the contract covers 30 units of CHIMERA 200, a special device that blocks signals to enemy drones, making them lose control or stop working so they can’t cause harm.

The order will be fulfilled by Paras Anti-Drone Technologies, the company’s specialised arm focused on drone jamming systems.

Why Paras Defence: the two companies already have an established partnership as they had worked together back in 2021. 

Additionally, Paras has local expertise in manufacturing and deploying anti-drone systems. The tie-up lets the company’s manufacture, integrate, and market Cerbair’s counter-drone solutions in India, and also support Cerbair’s international orders when needed.

Zoom out: from Rafale jets to Scorpène submarines, India-France partnership now extends into next-gen counter-drone technologies. As threats from unmanned systems grow, both countries are investing in shared solutions to secure strategic assets and critical infrastructure.
