Compute Close to the Sensor
Reduce latency and dependence on external links by executing mission intelligence on-device.
Sightforge is building indigenous onboard AI computing platforms for defence and aerospace applications. Through the Garuda family of onboard mission computing systems, the company is creating a sovereign perception layer for next-generation ISR, autonomous platforms, and mission-critical systems.
Sightforge focuses on real-time perception at the edge, where systems must operate with low latency, high reliability, and minimal dependence on external infrastructure. The team believes true indigenisation is defined by ownership of architecture, firmware, and system intelligence.
Garuda platforms are engineered to deliver deterministic performance in communication-constrained missions, integrating directly into real-world UAV, defence, and embedded aerospace systems.
Reduce latency and dependence on external links by executing mission intelligence on-device.
Ensure predictable, mission-ready behavior under operational stress and constrained conditions.
Fit directly into deployed UAV, defence, and embedded architectures instead of requiring custom workarounds.
Enable reuse, scalability, and long-term evolution across successive system generations.
