| 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 | — |
