In Planning — Concept Stage

Autonomous Drone Surveillance
for Maharashtra's Expressways

MH-ASLN is AASIOM's planned flagship project — a network of sovereign autonomous drones, edge AI inference nodes, and encrypted mesh communications across Maharashtra's expressway corridors. The system is designed to provide continuous surveillance, rapid incident detection, and real-time command visibility with zero foreign technology dependencies.

Maharashtra's Expressways Are Flying Blind

Maharashtra operates some of India's most critical road infrastructure — yet surveillance, incident detection, and emergency response remain dangerously inadequate, with systems that depend heavily on imported hardware and human reporting.

  • Average emergency response times exceeding 45 minutes across remote expressway sections.
  • Incident detection relies on mobile reporting, CCTV with poor coverage, and physical patrol — all with significant gaps.
  • Existing surveillance technology is predominantly imported, creating foreign dependency in critical national infrastructure.
  • MH-ASLN addresses all three gaps — response time, detection coverage, and sovereignty — in a single integrated system.

Phase 1 Coverage Targets

MH-ASLN is designed for Maharashtra's two highest-priority expressway corridors, covering the most critical stretches of national economic and humanitarian importance.

CORRIDOR 01

Mumbai–Pune Expressway

The arterial expressway connecting India's financial capital to Pune — one of the highest-traffic and highest-risk corridors in Maharashtra, spanning challenging Western Ghats terrain.

~94 km High gradient terrain Heavy traffic density MSRDC jurisdiction
CORRIDOR 02

Samruddhi Mahamarg

Maharashtra's landmark 701 km expressway connecting Nagpur to Mumbai — the longest expressway in India and a critical artery for economic development across Vidarbha, Marathwada, and Konkan regions.

Four Planned Sovereign Systems

MH-ASLN is designed as four interconnected sovereign systems — each addressing a distinct layer of the surveillance challenge, collectively forming a complete autonomous surveillance and response network. These are currently in the concept and planning stage.

Sky-Hive

Autonomous Drone Fleet Management

Sky-Hive is the planned autonomous multi-drone coordination system within MH-ASLN. The concept: a distributed fleet of VTOL drones that patrols designated expressway sections autonomously — self-dispatching on incident triggers, self-docking for recharge, and operating in continuous shifts without manual flight intervention.

VAYU-Net

Edge AI Vision & Inference Engine

VAYU-Net is the planned on-device intelligence layer of MH-ASLN. The design goal: all AI processing — accident detection, vehicle classification, debris identification, fire/smoke detection — runs entirely on the drone. No cloud latency. No data sovereignty risk. No external connectivity required for real-time decisions.

MeshLink

Encrypted Resilient Communication Network

MeshLink is the planned communication backbone of MH-ASLN — an encrypted mesh protocol designed to enable drone-to-drone, drone-to-ground, and ground-to-command-centre communication across the entire corridor. Designed for resilience: if any node drops, the mesh self-heals. End-to-end encryption using indigenous cryptographic design.

Sky-Command

Unified Situational Awareness & Command Centre

Sky-Command is the planned operator-facing command and control interface — a unified dashboard designed to consolidate feeds from all active drones, AI-detected incidents, corridor status, and fleet telemetry. Built with MSRDC and highway authority operators as the intended users — single-screen situational awareness across the full corridor.
