Zen Technologies has been granted an arms manufacturing licence by the Government of India, under the Arms Act, 1959.
The licence authorises the company to manufacture 12.7mm, 23mm, 30mm and 40mm
cannons that can be used for counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) applications, among others.
The company says that the rapid-fire cannons are suitable as last-layer defence systems against drones, loitering munitions and low-flying aerial threats. They can be integrated with fire-control systems, radar, electro-optical/infrared sensors and programmable ammunition to protect defence assets, border areas and critical infrastructure.
