In a remarkable achievement for Pakistan’s defense industry, GlobalIndustrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) has introduced the SAFRAHdrone-jamming gun—an entirely indigenous, non-kinetic weapon designed tocounter the growing threat of hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).Developed to meet the increasing security demands across military andcivilian sectors, SAFRAH symbolizes a leap toward technologicalself-reliance, offering a sophisticated yet user-friendly tool toneutralize drones without firing a single shot.
SAFRAH operates by emitting high-power electromagnetic signals acrossmultiple frequency bands—specifically 1560–1620 MHz, 2400–2500 MHz, and5725–5875 MHz—which effectively sever the communication and navigationlinks between a drone and its operator. With a powerful jamming range of upto 1500 meters and 30 watts of output per band, the gun disables dronesmid-flight by disrupting control commands, jamming GPS signals, and forcingthem to either return to base or crash-land harmlessly. This method of“soft kill” eliminates the risks associated with kinetic countermeasuressuch as projectiles or missiles, making SAFRAH ideal for use in urbanenvironments, critical infrastructure zones, and high-profile public events.
What sets SAFRAH apart is its precision design. It features a 9× opticalscope for accurate targeting, three directional antennas integrated into arifle-style ergonomic frame, and a dual-battery system that provides up to40 minutes of continuous operation—enough to engage 70 to 80 drones in asingle deployment. Weighing around 9 kilograms (excluding the optionaltripod), SAFRAH is portable, durable, and capable of operating in extremetemperature ranges from –10 °C to +55 °C. It is well-suited for frontlinedefense forces, border security units, airport protection teams, and VIPsecurity details, offering a highly mobile response to drone incursions.
SAFRAH is part of GIDS’s broader anti-UAV ecosystem, which also includesthe Spider Anti-Drone System—a more comprehensive solution with radar,EO/IR sensors, acoustic detection, and long-range jamming capabilities.Together, these systems represent a new era of indigenous drone defense inPakistan, designed not only for domestic use but also for export to alliedcountries. The rollout of SAFRAH demonstrates Pakistan’s ability to developand field advanced electronic warfare systems that are cost-effective,locally maintained, and rapidly deployable.

Strategically, SAFRAH strengthens Pakistan’s defense posture at a time whendrone warfare is reshaping modern security dynamics. With dronesincreasingly being used for surveillance, smuggling, and even targetedattacks, the need for agile, non-lethal countermeasures has never been morepressing. GIDS’s innovation positions Pakistan as both a consumer andproducer of drone defense technologies, opening avenues for export andcollaboration, particularly in regions facing similar aerial threats.
As Pakistan prepares to showcase SAFRAH and its other indigenous systems atinternational defense exhibitions like IDEF 2025, it sends a clear message:the country is not only defending its skies but also contributing to globalcounter-drone innovation. In the age of aerial threats, the SAFRAH dronejamming gun stands as a proud symbol of national ingenuity—Proudly Made inPakistan.
