MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043546 A) filed by Dr. Sudhir Chandra Sur Institute Of Technology and Sports Complex, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 6, for 'intelligent anti-drone swarm - hunter nanodrones.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. Suvendu Mondal; Dr. Saradindu Panda; and Mr. Sobhan Chakraborty.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an Intelligent Anti-Drone Swarm System employing Autonomous Hunter Nanodrones for countering unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and coordinated drone swarms. The system comprises a plurality of AI-enabled nanodrones equipped with multi-modal sensors, edge computing units, and secure mesh communication modules that collectively detect, classify, track, and neutralize aerial threats in real time. Utilizing distributed swarm intelligence, the hunter nanodrones autonomously organize, allocate tasks, and execute adaptive interception and engagement strategies without reliance on centralized control. The invention supports multiple non-kinetic and kinetic neutralization techniques selected dynamically to minimize collateral damage and communication interference. The system is scalable, resilient to jamming and cyber attacks, and suitable for protecting critical infrastructure, border regions, military installations, airports, and public spaces against next-generation drone and drone-swarm threats."
