Stay Connected. Stay Aware. Stay Mission-Ready.
A tactical, edge-native communication and situational-awareness system designed to keep teams connected, informed and operational when conventional communication infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable or denied.
SAMAR enables personnel and commanders to establish an independent, resilient and decentralised tactical communication network for real-time situational awareness, personnel tracking, collaborative mapping and secure exchange of mission information.
Built for the edge. Designed for the mission.
WHEN CONVENTIONAL NETWORKS FAIL, THE MISSION MUST CONTINUE
Modern operations increasingly take place in environments where cellular networks, Wi-Fi, internet connectivity or satellite-based communications may be unavailable, unreliable or operationally unsuitable.
In such environments, losing connectivity can mean losing situational awareness, coordination and decision-making advantage.
SAMAR addresses this operational gap by creating an independent, localised mesh communication environment that allows deployed teams to exchange critical information without depending on conventional communication infrastructure.
Whether operating in remote terrain, border areas, disaster zones, built-up environments or other communication-denied conditions, SAMAR is designed to help personnel remain connected to their team and informed about their operational environment.
WHAT IS SAMAR?
SAMAR is an edge-native tactical communication and situational-awareness system built around mesh networking.
The system combines tactical radio communication with a connected mobile application to provide personnel and commanders with a shared operational picture at the tactical edge.
SAMAR enables participating users to:
The result is a distributed tactical network that travels with the force rather than depending on infrastructure outside it.
CORE CAPABILITIES
OFF-GRID MESH NETWORKING
SAMAR creates an independent peer-to-peer mesh network capable of operating without cellular, Wi-Fi or internet connectivity.
REAL-TIME SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Personnel and commanders can maintain visibility of participating team members and relevant operational information through a shared tactical interface.
PERSONNEL & ASSET TRACKING
Track the location of connected personnel and designated assets to improve coordination, accountability and operational awareness.
TACTICAL MAPPING
View, share and collaborate around operational maps and location information directly at the tactical edge.
SECURE DATA EXCHANGE
Enable the exchange of mission-relevant information across the deployed network using appropriate secure communication mechanisms.
AUTOMATIC MESH RELAY
Participating nodes can extend network connectivity, allowing information to move across the deployed mesh beyond the immediate radio range of an individual user.
EDGE OPERATIONS
SAMAR is designed to continue functioning when conventional infrastructure is unavailable, allowing the operational network to remain locally available at the point of need.
MOBILE DEVICE INTEGRATION
The radio component can interface with compatible mobile devices and applications through supported connectivity interfaces, providing users with an intuitive operational interface.
GNSS / POSITION INTELLIGENCE
Where positioning capability is available, location information can be integrated into the operational picture for improved personnel and asset awareness.
HOW SAMAR WORKS
1. CONNECT
The SAMAR radio establishes communication with other compatible SAMAR nodes within operational range.
2. FORM THE MESH
Multiple nodes automatically form an ad-hoc network, creating a distributed communication environment.
3. EXTEND
Information can move through participating nodes, extending effective network coverage beyond a single point-to-point connection.
4. SHARE
Personnel can exchange operational information, location data, messages and other supported mission information across the network.
5. VISUALISE
Connected mobile applications provide users with a common operational interface for mapping, tracking and situational awareness.
6. OPERATE
The network continues to provide local tactical connectivity even when conventional infrastructure is unavailable.
SAMAR DOES NOT REQUIRE THE BATTLEFIELD TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. IT BRINGS THE NETWORK TO THE BATTLEFIELD.
DESIGNED FOR DISCONNECTED OPERATIONS
SAMAR is particularly relevant to environments where conventional communications cannot be assumed.
REMOTE & BORDER OPERATIONS
Maintain team connectivity and situational awareness across remote and infrastructure-limited terrain.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS
Provide distributed tactical communication and location awareness for deployed teams.
MILITARY OPERATIONS
Support tactical coordination and information exchange at the edge.
COUNTER-INSURGENCY & INTERNAL SECURITY
Enable teams operating across difficult terrain to maintain connectivity and awareness.
DISASTER RESPONSE
Create temporary communication networks where terrestrial infrastructure has been damaged or is unavailable.
SEARCH & RESCUE
Support team tracking and coordination across geographically dispersed operations.
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
Provide localised communication and operational awareness where conventional networks may be unreliable or unavailable.
BUILT FOR THE TACTICAL EDGE
SAMAR is designed around a simple operational principle:
The network should move with the force.
Traditional communication systems can depend on fixed infrastructure, network availability or external connectivity.
SAMAR takes a different approach.
By using a distributed mesh architecture, participating nodes become part of the communication network itself.
This enables a force to establish a local operational communication environment at the point of deployment, rather than waiting for external infrastructure to become available.
ONE NETWORK. MULTIPLE USERS. SHARED AWARENESS.
SAMAR enables information to move across the tactical network rather than remaining isolated with individual operators.
This creates the potential for a shared operational picture in which:
INDIVIDUAL → TEAM → COMMANDER
can remain connected through the same tactical ecosystem.
The result is improved coordination, faster information sharing and greater awareness of the location and status of participating personnel and assets.
DESIGNED FOR INTEROPERABILITY
SAMAR is designed to operate as part of a broader defence communication ecosystem.
Its capability can complement existing communication, command-and-control and situational-awareness systems rather than requiring an organisation to abandon its existing infrastructure.
Through appropriate interfaces and integration, SAMAR can form part of a wider architecture involving:
SAMAR is therefore not simply another radio. It is a tactical connectivity layer for the operational edge.
FROM COMMUNICATION TO SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Communication alone does not create operational advantage.
The real advantage comes when communication, location and information are brought together.
SAMAR is designed to bridge this gap by combining:
COMMUNICATION + LOCATION + MAPPING + TRACKING + INFORMATION
into a unified tactical environment.
This enables commanders and field personnel to move from:
“Where are my people?”
to
“What is happening around my people, and how can we coordinate the response?”
KEY OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES
INFRASTRUCTURE INDEPENDENT
Designed to operate without dependence on cellular or internet infrastructure.
DECENTRALISED
No single fixed communication point is necessarily required to maintain the local mesh.
SCALABLE
Additional nodes can expand the network according to operational requirements and system configuration.
MOBILE
The communication network travels with deployed personnel.
TACTICAL
Designed around the information and communication requirements of personnel operating at the edge.
RESILIENT
Mesh architecture can provide alternative communication paths where supported by network topology and node availability.
INFORMED
Combines communication with mapping, tracking and situational awareness.
MISSION-FOCUSED
Designed to support operational coordination rather than merely voice communication.
SAMAR FOR THE INDIAN DEFENCE & SECURITY ENVIRONMENT
India's operational environment ranges from high-altitude terrain and deserts to dense forests, urban areas, maritime zones and disaster-prone regions.
A single communication architecture cannot address every operational condition.
SAMAR provides a flexible tactical edge capability that can complement existing communication systems in environments where conventional connectivity is limited or unavailable.
Potential users include:
Indian Armed Forces | CAPFs | State Police | Special Forces | Disaster Response Organisations | Search & Rescue Teams | Critical Infrastructure Protection Units
Deployment configuration, frequency allocation, encryption, interoperability and other system parameters would be tailored to the relevant operational and regulatory requirements.
