Zen Technologies, a prominent player in the defence industry, has unveiled a series of advanced remote-controlled weapon and surveillance systems aimed at enhancing India’s defence capabilities.

These innovations, developed in collaboration with AI Turing Technologies, mark a significant step in modernizing India’s defence sector, in line with the country’s ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative for self-reliance.

The four newly launched systems include:

RCWS – 7.62 x 51 MMG (Parashu): Designed for versatility, Parashu is a remote-controlled weapon system integrated with advanced thermal imaging and anti-drone features. It can be mounted on vehicles and ships, making it highly adaptable for various combat scenarios and counter-UAV operations.

“These systems, tailored for use across land, sea, and air platforms, reflect Zen Technologies’ commitment to indigenous defence solutions. The company’s innovations are positioned to meet the evolving needs of modern warfare while reducing risks for personnel,” Ashok Atluri, Chairman and Managing Director of Zen Technologies said.

Further he highlighted that these advanced systems not only boost operational efficiency but also “equip armed forces with cutting-edge tools while ensuring soldiers’ safety.”

According to him, the company has a strong history of contributing to India’s defence modernization. Their previous systems, including the Hawkeye and Prahasta, have already proven successful. “This new range further cements Zen’s role as a key player in both Indian and global defence markets,” a senior executive. 

The new systems are expected to address emerging security challenges, particularly in the increasingly complex global defence landscape. Zen Technologies’ research and development, carried out at its Ministry of Science and Technology-recognized facility in Hyderabad, is a testament to its focus on innovation.

Patents

The company has filed over 150 patents and deployed more than 1,000 systems globally.

Zen’s latest offerings come at a critical time when the demand for advanced, indigenous defence solutions is growing, not only in India but also on the global stage. With these innovations, the company aims to further its mission of enhancing national security and contributing to the international defence ecosystem.
