The way the Indian Armed Forces struck terror launch pads and military targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Operation Sindoor, has attracted global attention.  With the killing of over 100 terrorists and neutralising Pakistan’s escalation,  the country’s new age Air Defence Ecosystem, Akashteer, has become the talk of the town. The fully AI-powered autonomous defence system, Akashteer, successfully did the real-time target interception and indulged in drone warfare.  Its brilliance lies not in brute force but in intelligent warfare. Traditional models of air defence rely heavily on ground-based radars, human-monitored systems, and surface-to-air missile batteries triggered by command chains. Akashteer breaks that mould as its technology allows for monitoring of low-level airspace in battle areas and efficient control of Ground-Based Air Defence Weapon Systems.
