Defence Research and Development Organisation plans radar along border​

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is creating a tri-services (Army, Navy, Air Force) communication signal intelligence gathering network along the country’s entire border.

It will be operational in a year’s time.

While it is not yet known where the command and control of the radar network will be located, the tri-services communication signal intelligence will intercept and analyse situations and information in real time.

The Hyderabad-based Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL) is in the process of covering the country’s entire border for signal interception and intelligence gathering, with penetration of up to 200 kilometres into the neighbouring territory. The project is expected to cost Rs700-800 crore.

The land-based system will intercept aerial communication, real-time activity on ground across the border, and aircraft signals. The network will have 25 static and four mobile units for interception.

The first level of the system will become operational by December 2010 and the remaining will start functioning by 2011. DLRL director G Bhupati pointed out that there was no substitute for self-reliance. “Electronic warfare will be required in the coming years,” he said.

At the cost stated, it seems quite a steal if worthy as claimed....

Bound by law. Public accountability. A downside, if you may, of transparency espoused by Indian democracy.
