Zen Technologies secures 54th Indian patent for laser training innovation
Zen Technologies has announced the grant of its 54th Indian patent titled 'Single ILU Long Pass Filter' , a key innovation in laser-based military training systems. This also marks the company's 82nd patent globally, underlining its growing dominance in defence R&D. The new technology enables the integration of visible and infrared laser beams into a single, stable output—significantly improving the realism, precision, and responsiveness of combat training simulators. Unlike conventional systems that depend on multiple laser paths and frequent recalibration, Zen's compact filter design ensures durability, accuracy, and low maintenance in tough field conditions. This innovation not only enhances India's defence capabilities but also strengthens Zen's export potential. With global interest rising in next-gen military training solutions, the patented system's portability and modular design make it ideal for both large-scale simulators and mobile setups. Zen's achievement reflects India's ongoing push for self-reliance in defence manufacturing and highlights the importance of indigenous innovation.
