Akashteer: How India’s Home Built Air Defence System Played a Decisive Role in Operation Sindoor
New Delhi – In a landmark achievement for India’s defence capabilities, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has unveiled its cutting-edge air defence systems—Akashteer, the Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS), and laser-based drone killers—which played a decisive role in safeguarding the nation during recent conflicts.
Game-Changing Laser-Based Anti-Drone System
BEL’s laser-based anti-drone system emerged as a critical asset, successfully neutralizing multiple low Radar Cross Section (RCS) drones from Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. This high-precision system, part of India’s multi-layered air defence strategy, showcased unmatched efficiency in countering aerial threats.
Akashteer: Revolutionizing Real-Time Air Defence
One of BEL’s most advanced innovations, Akashteer, has transformed battlefield operations by providing real-time engagement decisions to Army Air Defence (AD) units. The system enhances situational awareness, prevents friendly fire incidents, and delivers a unified air picture accessible even at the lowest operational levels. Its exceptional performance has strengthened India’s defensive readiness beyond expectations.
IACCS: The Backbone of India’s Air Defence Network
The Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS), developed by BEL, serves as the nerve center of India’s air defence, integrating surveillance, data analysis, and decision-making tools. During recent hostilities, IACCS enabled the real-time detection and neutralization of enemy aircraft, drones, and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs). Its seamless coordination between the Indian Air Force, Army, and Navy has created an impenetrable multi-layered shield over Indian airspace.
A Strategic Triumph for Indigenous Defence Tech
BEL’s ground-based systems, combined with Akashteer and IACCS, have proven their battlefield superiority. Officials noted that these systems have made it “hell for Pakistan’s air adventures,” underscoring their effectiveness in securing India’s skies.
With this combat validation, BEL has reinforced its reputation as a leader in indigenous defence technology, solidifying India’s position as a self-reliant military power.
