• The Prajna system is an AI-enabled satellite imaging platform designed to deliver real-time visual intelligence, allowing security agencies to monitor sensitive and high-risk areas with improved accuracy.
• Developed by DRDO’s Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, the system integrates advanced image processing and data analytics to strengthen situational awareness and rapid response capabilities.
• Prajna enables authorities to detect unusual patterns and suspicious activities, generating real-time alerts that support proactive decision-making and coordinated security operations across regions.
• The system was formally handed over by Samir V Kamat to Govind Mohan during an official event held in New Delhi.
• By integrating artificial intelligence with satellite imaging, India is transitioning from traditional monitoring methods to more efficient, technology-driven surveillance and counter-terrorism strategies.
• DRDO continues to focus on indigenous defense innovation, reducing reliance on foreign technologies while advancing capabilities in surveillance systems, missile development, and national security infrastructure.
• Alongside Prajna, DRDO has also advanced naval logistics with the ADC-150 system, designed to deliver essential supplies to naval ships in challenging and remote maritime conditions.
• The ADC-150 supports payload delivery up to 150 kilograms, enabling rapid transport of medical aid, equipment, and critical resources during emergencies at sea.
