About SAKSHAM System
- The Situational Awareness for Kinetic Soft and Hard Kill Assets Management (SAKSHAM) is an indigenously developed Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Grid System.
- It is a modular, high-end Command and Control (C2) system operating on the secure Army Data Network (ADN).
- It ensures comprehensive airspace security across the newly defined Tactical Battlefield Space (TBS), which now includes the Air Littoral (airspace up to 3,000 metres, or 10,000 feet, above ground level).
- It is developed by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).
Features of SAKSHAM System
- Real time detection and tracking: It is designed to detect, track, identify, and neutralise hostile drones and unmanned aerial systems in real time.
- Integrated Recognised UAS Picture: It creates a real-time, integrated Recognised UAS Picture (RUASP) for commanders, merging sensor data, counter-drone systems, and AI-driven analytics.
- AI-enabled predictive analysis: It consists of real-time threat detection and AI-enabled predictive analysis, integration of CUAS sensors and weapons for synchronised response, automated decision support and 3D battlefield visualization.
- It can integrate its own as well as hostile UAS data, C-UAS sensors, and soft- and hard-kill systems on a common GIS-based platform.
- The system will also receive inputs from the Akashteer System, further enhancing situational awareness by mapping all airspace users; friendly, neutral, or hostile; within the combat zone.
