Indian Army Unveils AI-Powered Weapon That Tracks and Shoots in Just 10 Milliseconds

The Indian Army has introduced a cutting-edge AI-powered weapon system, the Ten AI Weapon System (TAIWS), designed to detect, track, and neutralize threats with lightning speed. Specifically developed for deployment at the Line of Control (LoC), TAIWS aims to counter terrorist infiltration, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, where dense vegetation and rugged terrain often aid infiltrators.

This advanced system features a combination of primary and secondary cameras, a medium machine gun (MMG) for engagement, and an AI-driven targeting mechanism that can react in just 10 milliseconds. However, the final decision to fire remains with a human operator, ensuring accountability and preventing unintended engagements.

Unparalleled Surveillance and Precision

Showcased at Aero India 2025, TAIWS boasts a modular design, allowing for various attachments and real-time sensor fusion. It includes:

• Primary day camera with 40x optical zoom for high-resolution imaging.
• Thermal imaging camera enabling night-time surveillance up to 2 km.
• Network of secondary cameras, deployed at intervals of 500 meters to 2 km, depending on terrain requirements.
• Medium machine-gun (MMG) with a 1.8 km range, creating a 50m × 50m "kill box" for effective neutralization of targets.

This setup ensures that even if a target is obscured from one angle, secondary cameras can detect movement from another perspective, making it nearly impossible for terrorists to evade detection.

100% First-Round Hit Probability

Colonel Ashish Dogra, a key developer of TAIWS, emphasized that the system has been designed to overcome a fundamental challenge: detecting threats in heavily forested areas where line-of-sight is often obstructed.

"What happens when something is not visible from the primary camera? That is a problem nobody in the world thought about. So, we developed a network of secondary cameras placed strategically at different distances. If one camera doesn't have a line of sight, another will," he explained.

TAIWS demonstrated a 100% first-round hit probability during trials, proving its effectiveness in counter-terrorism operations. The AI software predicts the future position of a moving target, ensuring accuracy even if an infiltrator attempts to escape.

AI-Powered Tactical Superiority

Unlike similar AI-powered weapons used by countries like Israel, the Indian Army's TAIWS goes beyond simple automated tracking. Its networked approach creates a seamless surveillance grid, eliminating blind spots and significantly reducing the chances of infiltration.

Colonel Dogra further highlighted how TAIWS’ predictive firing mechanism enhances its lethality:

"If a terrorist is moving, we calculate the bullet’s travel time and adjust the aim accordingly. We fire at the future position, ensuring a high probability of a hit."

Strategic Deployment for LoC Security

TAIWS has been specifically built for operations along the LoC, where terrorists frequently use dense forests and natural cover to evade detection. The AI weapon system is expected to be deployed in the coming months, significantly boosting India's border security capabilities.

With AI-driven real-time tracking, automated target locking, and a fail-proof surveillance network, the Indian Army has taken a significant leap in modern warfare technology—ensuring that infiltration attempts across the LoC are detected and neutralized with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
