Autonomy Retrofit Kit (ARK)

Autonomy Retrofit Kit (ARK)

Autonomy Retrofit Kit (ARK) is an advanced upgrade designed to enhance Puma™ LE and Puma™ 3 AE unmanned aircraft systems with semi-autonomous and autonomous mission capabilities. This modular system enables real-time creation of 3D area maps using EO or IR imagery, providing vital intelligence support in complex operational zones. It supports persistent observation, autonomous route planning, and terrain-relative navigation, especially useful in GPS-denied environments.

The unit allows seamless data interoperability by accepting and sharing target information with other aerial or ground-based assets. Multi-region search functionality ensures wide-area coverage, while the kit’s compact integration makes it a low-burden addition to existing platforms. Built for durability, the system operates in harsh terrains and can be deployed rapidly for evolving tactical demands. It significantly reduces operator workload while maintaining high levels of accuracy and decision-making speed in critical missions. Operators also benefit from real-time feedback loops and adaptive targeting capabilities that optimize engagement based on mission updates.

Autonomy Retrofit Kit (ARK) is deployed across ISR missions where persistent observation and intelligence-gathering are required. It is widely used by forward units, border patrols, and defense forces for autonomous navigation, target tracking, and secure area scanning, improving efficiency during surveillance or search and rescue operations.

Tactical Supply Pakistan provides this technology to support the evolving needs of the Pakistan Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our commitment lies in supplying smart retrofit solutions that extend the battlefield utility of proven UAV platforms, enabling modern mission success across all domains.

Can the ARK operate in GPS-denied environments?
Yes, the kit features visual-based navigation, making it fully functional even when GPS signals are lost or disrupted.
