Description The Very Short-Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS), developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is a fourth-generation Man Portable Air Defence System (MANPADS) designed to counter low-altitude aerial threats like helicopters, drones, and low-flying aircraft. Equipped with advanced technologies such as a miniaturized Reaction Control System (RCS) and integrated avionics, VSHORADS offers high accuracy and maneuverability for effective target engagement. This indigenous system, characterized by its portability and ease of deployment, significantly enhances the Indian Armed Forces’ capabilities to neutralize aerial threats effectively, bolstering national security.
