Zen Technologies has received an arms manufacturing license from the Government of India under the Arms Act, 1959, authorizing the company to manufacture cannons for defense applications. The license covers specific calibers including 12.7mm, 23mm, 30mm, and 40mm cannons, designed for air defense, naval operations, and counter-drone systems.

License Details and Authorization

The government authorization enables Zen Technologies to produce critical weapon systems with strong applicability across multiple defense sectors:

Strategic Defense Applications

These rapid-fire cannons serve as highly effective last-layer defense solutions against drones, loitering munitions, and low-flying aerial threats. When integrated with advanced fire-control systems, radar, electro-optical/infrared sensors, and programmable ammunition, these systems provide highly responsive, accurate, and cost-effective protection for strategic assets, armoured formations, border areas, and critical infrastructure.

Indigenous Manufacturing Initiative

This license marks a decisive step forward in advancing India's indigenous defense manufacturing ecosystem under the IDDM framework. Against the backdrop of ongoing global conflicts, where drones, loitering munitions, and asymmetric aerial threats are increasingly prevalent, these systems equip Zen Technologies to address emerging battlefield challenges with India-centric, cost-effective air defense solutions.

The authorization reinforces Zen Technologies' leadership position in air defense and counter-drone capabilities, allowing the company to manufacture equipment that serves both established defense needs and emerging counter-unmanned aircraft system requirements within the specified caliber range.
