Horus Innovations has introduced the Vyomlakshya‑1 as a low‑cost autonomous aerial target system specifically tailored for Army Air Defence regiments.

The platform is designed to simulate modern aerial threats during training and live‑firing exercises, giving personnel realistic practice in engaging swarm‑capable targets. With a wingspan of 1,000 millimetres, a maximum speed under 110 kilometres per hour, and endurance of less than 42 minutes, it provides a compact yet effective solution for repeated training cycles.

Its communication range of under two kilometres and all‑up weight of less than one kilogram make it lightweight and easily deployable. The system operates in GNSS‑assisted fully autonomous mode, supporting both day and night missions, and is engineered for quick reparability to sustain intensive training schedules.

The inclusion of swarm capability is particularly significant, as it allows multiple units to be deployed simultaneously, replicating the challenges posed by coordinated drone attacks. This prepares Army Air Defence regiments to counter evolving aerial threats in a scalable and cost‑efficient manner. 

Vyomlakshya‑1 thus represents a practical training tool that bridges the gap between theoretical drills and real‑world operational readiness.

Alongside Vyomlakshya‑1, Horus Innovations is advancing several other indigenous unmanned systems. The Vinashaka‑60 is a long‑range kamikaze drone capable of precision stand‑off operations and deep‑penetration strikes.

It offers a strike range of up to 550 kilometres, carries a warhead of up to 15 kilograms, and can loiter for as long as eight hours before executing a fully autonomous terminal strike. This makes it a formidable addition to India’s unmanned strike arsenal.

The Pratighata‑1 is an autonomous drone interceptor designed to neutralise hostile UAVs. With a maximum speed under 300 kilometres per hour, an operational range of less than five kilometres, and endurance of under ten minutes, it is optimised for rapid interception.

Operating at altitudes up to 2,000 metres above ground level and a service ceiling of 4,500 metres above sea level, it employs AI tracking, GNSS, and EO/IR sensors for precise targeting. Its electric propulsion ensures quick responsiveness in counter‑UAS missions.

The Sarvsetu is a tactical fixed‑wing UAV built for sustained intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance roles. With endurance of up to eight hours, it provides long‑duration coverage for battlefield awareness and communication relay, complementing India’s growing portfolio of indigenous unmanned systems.

Together, these platforms demonstrate Horus Innovations’ commitment to delivering scalable, indigenous solutions across the spectrum of unmanned aerial operations—from training and interception to precision strike and tactical surveillance.
