MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511081185 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, on Aug. 27, for 'archer: a system to control self-landing rocket flight with dual propulsion.'
Inventor(s) include Syed Mohammed Sameer; Rahman Asadur; Chishti Mohammad Ahsan; Sayeed Ahmad; Thoker Arsalan Rashid; Aruba Ashraf; Yella Pavan Siva Kalyan; Maddipatla Devi Srilatha; Rajula Pooja; and Boravelly Apeksha Reddy.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The ARCHER flight computer for self-landing model rockets is a comprehensive system. that combines advanced sensor technology, intelligent control algorithms, and data logging capabilities to enable autonomous flight and precise landing. The flight computer continuously acquires real-time data from onboard sensors, including atmospheric pressure and orientation, to determine the rocket's altitude, trajectory, and attitude. Based on this data, the flight computer makes real-time decisions regarding control actions, generating commands to steer servo motors and actuators that control the rocket's legs and other control surfaces. This also employs data logging capabilities to record a detailed record of the rocket's performance throughout the flight. The ARCHER flight computer represents a significant advancement in self-landing model rocket technology, combining real-time data acquisition, intelligent decision-making, and data-driven optimizations to enable exceptional performance and contribute to the advancement of autonomous flight capabilities in model rocketry."
