Gridbots KATANA is a state-of-the-art autonomous weapon station and remote control weapon station (RCWS) with the capability to track more than 20 simultaneous targets and lock on to any target within a second for firing.
This AI-enabled RCWS can be deployed by homeland security units, UGVs and other mount platforms to deliver a fully situationally aware defensive system that uses deep learning to identify and neutralise targets in seconds.
The autonomous weapon station supports 360-degree pan and 180-degree tilt simultaneously, and can carry EOS pods in single, twin, quad and octa barrel configurations. As India's most capable remote control weapon station, the KATANA is designed for defence, homeland security and counter-UAV applications.

KATANA
The Gridbots KATANA is an autonomous and manual remote control weapon station (RCWS) deployable on ground vehicles for remote target tracking and engagement in the field.
The unit supports payloads up to 12.7 mm guns, grenade launchers and ATGMs, making it one of the most versatile autonomous weapon stations available in India.
The system features EO/IR camera pods for target detection and identification at ranges up to 10 km.
KATANA-AAD
The KATANA-AAD is a specialised anti-air defence variant of the autonomous weapon station designed to counter aerial threats including drones and low-altitude aircraft.
Integrated with the GB-Sentinel anti-drone system, KATANA-AAD forms the hard-kill layer in a complete counter-UAV and remote control weapon station solution.
EO/IR camera pods enable target identification at up to 10 km range with 99.9% locking accuracy.
