Core Capabilities
  1. 24×7 AI‑Driven Surveillance using Drones: AI‑powered drones with high‑resolution cameras and vision models detect intrusions and suspicious activity in real‑time, including under low‑light and adverse conditions. Automated alerts enable rapid deployment.
  2. Path Planning with Optimized Routing: Dynamic terrain and obstacle analysis to autonomously select safe, efficient routes—maximizing coverage and conserving energy.
  3. Weapon & Threat Detection (Lethality): AI models analyze live feeds to identify/classify lethal weapons and threats, triggering real‑time alerts.
  4. Sound Recognition: Detection and classification of battlefield audio such as gunfire, drones, or explosions to enhance situational awareness.
  5. Soldier Health Monitoring: Wearable IoT tracks vitals (heart rate, SpO₂, stress indicators) with early warnings for fatigue and medical risks.
  6. Emergency Response (SOS Mechanism): Multi‑channel emergency alerts via radio, satellite, and network to ensure reliable distress signaling in remote/disrupted environments.

Impact

Faster decision‑making, enhanced situational awareness, and safer operations across critical defence areas—improving response time and operational efficiency.
