Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: As India celebrates the resounding success of Operation Sindoor, a spotlight has been cast on a critical component behind the nation’s air defence triumph: the indigenous Akashteer system. Developed through a powerful collaboration between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Akashteer has emerged as a game-changer in modern warfare.

In a series of posts on social media platform X, BEL proudly hailed the combat performance of Akashteer during the operation, saying, “BEL is proud to announce that our in-house designed & manufactured Air Defence System, Akashteer, has proved its mettle in the war-field. Ground-based Defence Systems integrated with Akashteer made it hell for Pakistan’s air adventures.”

A Technological Triumph in Combat
The Akashteer system played a pivotal role in countering aerial threats during the operation, outperforming expectations and reinforcing India’s air superiority. BEL added, “The system performed beyond users’ expectations, providing robust Air Defence to India during the current conflict. Akashteer ensures a seamless & unified air situation picture accessible to the lowest operational units of Army AD, enhancing situational awareness across the force.”

This enhanced situational awareness, BEL stated, allowed frontline units to make real-time dynamic engagement decisions, significantly reducing the risk of friendly fire. The system’s real-time threat analysis and adaptive targeting architecture were central to its battlefield success.

The Technology Behind Akashteer
Akashteer is a next-generation Air Defence Control and Reporting System (ADCRS), designed to provide a comprehensive, multi-layered shield against aerial threats ranging from manned aircraft to unmanned drone swarms. Integrating artificial intelligence, satellite data, and high-speed decision loops, Akashteer represents a significant leap in India’s military command capabilities.

Developed in partnership with ISRO, the system leverages real-time imagery from India’s constellation of earth observation satellites. This integration offers strategic oversight and tactical precision, enabling commanders to act swiftly and decisively.

One of the standout features of Akashteer is its autonomous drone swarms, each capable of carrying 5–10 kg payloads. These drones operate within a zero-latency command grid, allowing for instantaneous threat response and flexible deployment—ideal for both defensive and limited offensive operations.

Strategic Significance
Experts say Akashteer not only boosts India’s defence infrastructure but also marks a strategic shift toward technological self-reliance in warfare. Its deployment during Operation Sindoor comes at a critical juncture, highlighting the urgency of robust, home-grown solutions to complex battlefield challenges.

Defence analysts have praised the system’s architecture for its ability to function across terrains, under electronic warfare conditions, and in coordinated operations involving multiple service branches.

Looking Ahead
As India invests more deeply in indigenous defence innovation, Akashteer is poised to serve as a blueprint for future air defence systems. With plans to integrate newer AI protocols and expanded space-based reconnaissance, BEL and DRDO aim to further enhance the platform’s operational flexibility and strategic depth.

In the wake of Operation Sindoor, Akashteer stands not just as a testament to Indian ingenuity, but also as a symbol of the nation’s commitment to securing its skies through cutting-edge innovation.
