About\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • SAKSHAM stands for Situational Awareness for Kinetic Soft and Hard Kill Assets Management.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • It is a cutting-edge command and control network designed to detect, track, identify, and neutralise enemy drones in real time.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • This initiative aligns with the Indian Army’s Decade of Transformation (2023-2032)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Developed by\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\nIndian Army<\/strong> in partnership with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL)<\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Purpose<\/strong><\/td>\nTo provides real-time airspace awareness<\/strong> and counter-UAS (unmanned aerial systems)<\/strong> capabilities across Army formations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Features<\/strong><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • It effectively connects radar, optical, acoustic, and radio-frequency sensors<\/strong> onto a unified network, giving commanders a seamless view of the tactical airspace.<\/li>\n
  • It uses the secure Army Data Network (ADN) to provide a single “Recognised UAS Picture”<\/strong> over the recently established Tactical Battlefield Space (TBS)\n
      \n
    • TBS is a region up to 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) above the ground.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • This expanded domain ensures that ground forces maintain control over low-altitude airspace,<\/strong> allowing for both defensive and offensive operations<\/strong> involving friendly drones and aerial platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Functions as a modular Command and Control (C2) system<\/strong>, offering situational awareness<\/strong> for Counter-UAS (CUAS)<\/strong> management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
System Capabilities And Functionality<\/strong><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • It features AI-driven decision-support tools<\/strong> to optimise operator response time.<\/li>\n
  • It integrates both soft-kill (jamming and spoofing) and hard-kill (destruction using kinetic weapons) measures,<\/strong> depending on the threat type and proximity.<\/li>\n
  • The system\u2019s automated response algorithms<\/strong> assess multiple parameters<\/strong> including drone altitude, flight path, and payload signature to select the appropriate countermeasure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
