AKASHNETRA VSHORAD
AI-Enabled Smart Weapon Control & Targeting System
Passive Tracking. Extreme Low-Light Capability. 24/7 Precision.
AkashNetra is a high-performance weapon control platform designed to automate the engagement of low-altitude aerial threats. By integrating Gen-2 Extreme Low-Light CMOS technology with LWIR Thermal sensing, it provides an uncooled, passive-tracking solution that remains effective from peak daylight to moonless starlight.
System Integration & Capabilities
Radar Interface Unit (RIU)
- Seamless integration with legacy and modern tracking radars
(Flycatcher/ADCR) - Automatic slewing of the weapon platform to target coordinates received via radar hand-off
- Rapid target acquisition and data-link synchronization
AI-Optical Precision Tracking
- Dual-Sensor Payload: High-Resolution Thermal (IIR) + Low light CMOS
- AI-driven automatic target classification and predictive tracking
- Lock-on latency: <800ms from radar hand-off to seeker confirmation
Stable Weapon Platform
- High-torque, high-accuracy Azimuth/Elevation motors
- Supports single/multi-launcher configurations for IGLA platforms,
- Stabilized mounting for vehicle-mobile or static ground deployment
Operational Advantages
- Modernizing Legacy Infrastructure: Breathes "Smart Intelligence into existing radar networks without hardware overhaul.
- Reduced Human Error: Eliminates manual sighting delays the platform
automatically points the missile seeker at the target. - Total Blackout Operation: Uses passive Thermal/EO tracking after initial radar designation to stay invisible to enemy EW sensors.
- All-Weather Shield: High-performance optics cut through fog, smoke, and darkness
to maintain target lock.
Strategic Deployment
- Integrated Air Defence (IAD): Acts as the lethal TerminalLayer" in a radar- protected zone.
- Critical Infrastructure Protection: Protects Airbases, Ammunition Depots, and Vulnerable Areas (VAs).
- Mobile VSHORAD: Rapidly deployable on 4×4 or APV platforms for convoy air-cover.
