What Is the Integrated Air Defence Combat Simulator (IADCS)?
Zen’s IADCS is a next-generation, virtual simulation system built entirely through in-house research and development. Designed to train operators in air defence combat tactics, it creates hyper-realistic training environments that help personnel enhance their operational efficiency without incurring the high costs and logistical challenges of live training exercises.
The simulator is highly scalable, adaptable, and exportable, offering considerable operational and economic benefits not only to the Indian armed forces but also to foreign militaries operating similar legacy systems.

This new contract reflects Zen’s commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) in defence manufacturing. The IADCS project was developed under the Make-II framework, encouraging private-sector innovation for defence readiness.
“This order is a testament to our unwavering belief in innovation and our ability to build world-class indigenous solutions,” said Mr. Arjun Dutt Atluri, Vice President at Zen Technologies.
With its successful deployment, the company anticipates demand from international markets, especially those operating legacy L70 systems.
