More about Harsh and His Innovation

EAGLE A7 is designed to detect and detonate landmines. Utilizing multi-spectral detection technology, the drone can identify both metal and plastic landmines, as well as unexploded ordnance and improvised explosive devices. Equipped with a lightweight wireless detonator developed in-house, it can safely neutralize landmines, providing real-time data to a ground control station and significantly reducing human risk in mine detection and clearance.

Zala's journey into robotics began at the age of 10, leading to his first project of a TV-remote-controlled home automation system. Despite facing challenges in accessing scientific information, he persevered by conducting extensive online research, often late into the night at internet cafes.

His inspiration to create the EAGLE A7 stemmed from a YouTube video showing soldiers being harmed by landmines. Over three years, Zala meticulously developed his drone and is now solving security problems for a better world.
