Shares of Solar Industries, the multibagger defence and explosive stock, are in limelight amid reports that the Indian armed forces used Nagastra-1 drone during the strikes on terrorist camps located in PoK and Pakistan on Tuesday. Solar Industries manufactured these drones through its subsidiary Economic Explosives Limited (EEL).
In June 2024, Solar Industries delivered the first batch of 480 Nagastra-1 loitering munitions with over 75 per cent indigenous content to Indian Army.
The Nagastra-1 is a type of "loitering munition." This implies that it can hover over a designated area, identifying and locking onto targets before launching a precise attack, even mid-flight.
The drone is a 1 kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead capable of neutralizing soft-skin targets. The drone is integrated with day and night surveillance cameras and a ground control station with communication modules and pneumatic launcher. The Nagastra-1 features a highly portable, man-packable system weighing approximately 30 kg components divided into two rucksacks for field deployment.
These drones are reusable. If a mission is aborted or a target is not identified, the Nagastra-1 is designed to return to base and land safely using a parachute recovery mechanism.
