| Source measurement | Akashteer is a system-of-systems with zero dependencies on foreign satellites or components. The system included locally developed AI processors and battlefield nodes, zero-latency integration of ISRO 's Earth observation satellites , precision mapping of NavIC , and self-updating command grids for dynamic targeting by removing human-delay loop. Using information from multiple sources, the edge-AI war-cloud makes judgments in real time, reroutes missions, and launches attacks on its own. Akashteer system substitutes conventional ground command centers, allows decentralized plug-and-fight combat using a laptop , and can be field deployed from trucks, jeeps, or mobile units. It can defend and strike an area of about 300 kilometers. On the basis of real-time data, Akashteer can self-reprogram drone swarms that are armed with reconnaissance kits, jammers, and 5–10 kg explosives.[source]Akashteer · Functions; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | Bavar-373 utilizes Sayyad-4 missiles, which are contained in two rectangular launch canisters. No formal information was given about this missile, but it appears from news photos that Sayyad-4 is similar to Sayyad-3 in wings and control surfaces; however, it varies slightly in frontal shape.[source]Bavar-373 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Bavar-373 uses a phased array radar for tracking aerodynamic targets and ballistic missiles in medium to long ranges, mounted on the ZAFAR heavy truck. Iran claims that it can track up to 200 targets simultaneously.[source]Bavar-373 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
