SHIKHAR
Two rotors.
No tail rotor.
Lifts off from a patch of rock.
Built for the roof of the world.
Heavy lift, in thin air, without a runway. SHIKHAR carries what a team needs to the places roads don't reach, at altitudes where most drones can't fly loaded.
Hooks on.
Lifts off.
Over the ridge.
And the next one.
Everything it needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
One engine. Two intermeshing rotors. Torque cancels, so all the power goes into lift. It flies itself, from take-off to touchdown.
No tail rotor
Intermeshing rotors cancel each other's torque.
Autonomous
Plans, flies and lands on its own, with or without a link.
Autorotation
If power is lost, the rotors bring it down under control.
Made in India
Designed, developed and built in India.
Rail-launched.
No runway required.
Off the rail.
Straight into the climb.
Finds it.
Confirms it.
Tracks it.
One AI core.
Four ways it keeps flying.
The same autonomy stack runs across every Zen Kinematics 8 Systems aircraft, so it navigates, talks, protects itself and finishes the job when the world gets in the way.
No GPS? No problem.
Cameras and inertial sensors keep it on course when satellite signals are jammed or gone.
Holds the link.
Jammed on one band, it hops to another, then relays through another aircraft. Encrypted throughout.
Runs only trusted code.
A hardware root of trust checks every stage before it flies.
Finishes the mission.
If contact drops, it re-plans around hazards and completes the task.
One command.
SHIKHAR and JU-1 fly as motherships.
They launch the fleet.
Each mothership sends out smaller UAVs: multirotors and fixed-wing VTOLs.
What one sees,
all see.
Every UAV streams its sensor data to the mothership. The mothership shares the full picture with every aircraft.
One order moves
the whole fleet.
The mothership shifts the area of interest. Every UAV re-routes to cover it.
Lose one.
Another takes its place.
If a UAV goes down, a reserve flies in and the mission carries on.
