Defence Security & Surveillance for High-Risk and Mission-Critical Environments

MARS AI (Multi-modal AI Recognition System) is Mantra's intelligent analytics platform for real-time identification and threat classification using video and biometric inputs. IPAS AI (Intelligent Perimeter and Access Security) extends this into access enforcement - combining AI-driven surveillance with automated gate control, biometric verification, and permit management. Together, they provide end-to-end identity assurance from the perimeter to interior restricted zones.

Yes. Mantra designs and manufactures its defence security platforms in India across a 1.5 lakh sq.ft. shop floor. All hardware - biometric terminals, RFID readers, sensor modules, and edge processing units - is developed under Make in India with in-house R&D and global technology patents. This ensures supply-chain security, customisation without vendor dependency, and alignment with government procurement preferences for critical infrastructure.

The Logical Security module governs digital access to defence networks, command systems, and classified data environments - enforcing multi-factor authentication and role-based access control. The ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) layer handles vehicle movement at garrison gates, ammunition depots, and restricted entry points - identifying, logging, and controlling vehicle access in real time with tamper alerts and full audit trails.

Mantra's VMS (Video Management System) provides centralised recording, live monitoring, event-triggered playback, and AI-based video analytics across distributed camera networks at defence sites. For border security, the platform extends to perimeter surveillance, multi-sensor fusion, command-level situational awareness, and integration with ANPR and biometric checkpoints - supporting applications from forward operating bases to border fencing zones.

Mantra's security systems are operational across military stations, ammunition storage facilities, naval installations, border infrastructure, government research campuses, and restricted government sites. Internationally, the platform is deployed in 40+ countries, with specific defence and critical infrastructure references across South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Mantra's platforms are engineered for continuous operation in demanding conditions - ruggedized hardware, edge processing to reduce bandwidth dependency, offline-capable biometric verification, and redundant communication paths. The central command layer receives live feeds, automated alerts, and event logs from all nodes, enabling commanders to maintain visibility even in connectivity-constrained environments.

Yes. Because Mantra owns the full technology stack - from hardware design through firmware, application software, and integration APIs - the platform can be customised for specific classification levels, communication protocols, data isolation requirements, and interoperability with existing defence command and communication infrastructure. Customisation does not incur premium third-party licensing or vendor lock-in.

Mantra holds global technology patents and its platforms are designed to comply with government procurement frameworks, including those relevant to Make in India, domestic content requirements, and defence-grade quality standards. Specific certification details for individual platforms are provided during formal procurement engagement. The team can supply compliance documentation upon request.

You can reach Mantra's defence solutions team at servico@mantratec.com or use the Request a Demo form on this page. Mantra's defence engagement process begins with a confidential requirements assessment, followed by a platform demonstration against your site profile and threat model. Proposal timelines and demonstration formats are aligned to defence procurement schedules.
