Gaining Momentum

AvGarde Systems is a legitimate deep-tech startup incubated at IISc Bangalore and IIT Guwahati, offering critical C-UAS (counter-drone) and radar solutions. External search verifies a recent seed funding round (~$750K verified, valuation ~$8.5M) and partnerships with the Indian Air Force. However, the project submission itself contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'most people' have used the product and 'everyone' is the audience), which severely impacted the Response Quality and Audience Reach scores. The high Real-World Utility and Technical Innovation scores reflect the genuine defense/aerospace value, while the Traction score is adjusted to reflect its actual early-stage status (Seed) rather than the exaggerated submission claims.

Description
AVGARDE is a radio frequency and wireless technology focused deeptech startup building an AI-driven object sensing platform for low-altitude airspace management. With the proliferation of drones, AVGARDE is reimagining wireless technologies to innovate the next generation products for the drone airspace and allied operations. The company’s DeepSense platform addresses complex challenges presented by drones/UAVs in terms of their operational environment which needs to be managed efficiently and effectively to ensure the safety of aviation, public, operators and other stakeholders. The platform has various applications across multiple market segments, including airports airspace safety, critical infrastructure protection, drone fleet operations, unmanned traffic management, security monitoring, aerospace and defence, amongst others. Currently, the DeepSense platform has three product lines – (1) DroneSafe - an AI-enabled Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) to detect, classify, mitigate and report aerial risks/threats from drones, UAVs and other aerial objects; (2) DIWAR (Drone Intrusion Wall and Repulsion System) - an all-band GPS Jammer for tackling drones and inhibiting its airborne motions; and (3) BirdsEye - an intelligent Bird Detection and Monitoring Radar (BDMR) for dual-use aviation safety and preventing Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH). Founded in India as a private limited company, AVGARDE has offices in Bangalore, the world’s fastest growing tech hub, and Guwahati in the northeast frontier region, alongside partners across India and overseas. AVGARDE has incubation and research partnerships with some of the top institutions, including Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati.
