MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511063799 A) filed by Chandigarh University on July 04, 2025, for Vision Assisted Targeting System (vats, “????”).
Inventor includes Ratish Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: The Vision-Assisted Targeting System (VATS) is a soldier-mounted, AI-integrated apparatus designed to enhance battlefield situational awareness and threat response. The system comprises a multi-spectral camera array mounted on the soldier’s rear shoulder, including RGB, infrared, thermal, and stereo-vision sensors, providing 360-degree surveillance with special emphasis on blind spots. An embedded AI processor performs real-time object detection, threat classification, and predictive analysis. A gimbal-mounted weapon system autonomously aligns with high-priority threats and supports manual, assisted, or fully autonomous engagement. The system communicates with a remote Ground Base Unit via encrypted RF links for live monitoring and command override. Power is supplied through a hybrid battery, piezoelectric, and solar energy system, with a backup capacitor ensuring emergency operation. Integrated with haptic, audio, and visual human-machine interfaces, VATS offers modularity, ruggedized design, and autonomous operation, drastically improving soldier survivability by detecting and neutralizing rear threats before they reach engagement proximity.
