Indian Radar Systems

I think current Swordfish range is around 600km and DRDO working on 1500km there are something lounge in this statement

Swordfish LRTR capable of detecting very small targets in the 600-800 km range and can spot objects as small as a cricket ball. The Indian defence stable already includes the likes of Swordfish, which has a range of 600 km, and more popular ones like Rohini and Revathi. The DRDO plans to upgrade the capacity of Swordfish to 1,500 km by 2011.

Building a Missile Shield -- Beijing Review

Recent years have seen great pro-gress in India's ballistic missile defense program. On March 6, it destroyed a missile target about 75 km over the Bay of Bengal with an interceptor missile launched from the Integrated Test Range on Wheeler Island. This was the fourth successful anti-ballistic missile test it has conducted since 2006.

SONARS

1-Advanced Panoramic Sonar Hull mounted (APSOH)


A ship borne sonar system designed and developed for performing active ranging, passive listening, auto tracking of targets and classification. A variant of this sonar with additional electronics and transducers for variable depth sonar(HUMVAD) has also been developed and deployed in platforms requiring such configurations. It is in serial production since 1983 by Bharat Electronics, Bangalore

2-Hull Mounted Sonar Advanced (HUMSA)

HUMSA is the enhanced version of the state-of-the-art Hull Mounted Panoramic Sonar designed for the Indian Navy in the nineties. This family of medium range active-cum-passive dual band sonars, optimised for both shallow and deep-water operations has proved its efficacy even in the highly variable tropical waters for more than a decade. HUMSA's advanced signal processing techniques are responsible for its superior performance. The sonar uses multiple transmission modes for short and long-range surveillance. It also provides selective sector illumination to minimize interference in case of multi ship operation. The sonar can be factory-tuned to operate at any frequency. It can be configured for dual or single operator mode and hence can be fitted in ships of various tonnages. A built-in signal simulator enables the performance evaluation before sea going and also provides operator training and confidence building. The sonar can be supplied with wide range of cylindrical transducers to meet the specific requirements

3-HUMSA NG is a technology upgrade of HUMSA with lower frequency transducers and state-of-the art electronics containing POWER PC processors and SHARC signal processing boards.
 
4-PACHENDRIYA

PACHENDRIYA is the first indigenously developed integrated submarine sonar and tactical fire control system designed for fitment onboard Foxtrot class of submarines. This state-of-the-art system consists of passive surveillance sonar, passive ranging sonar, intercept sonar, an active sonar and underwater communication system. Operated in either single or dual operational modes, the sonar presents its vital information on four colour monitors in 13 display formats. The ergonomically designed system can automatically track up to six targets simultaneously.

The sonar is linked to a powerful tactical fire control system, which has linkages with periscope, radar and a weapon deployment controller. A built-in simulator available with the system is a powerful tool capable of simulating signals as received at the arrays and can be used for training purposes. The system has provision for online fault localization and off-line checkout facility for testing the total health of the system.

5-USHUS is a submarine sonar developed with active, passive, intercept and Underwater Communication System (UCS) capabilities.

6-MIHIR

MIHIR, the helicopter sonar system, comprises of dunking sonar and four channel sonobuoy processor. This sonar system has been designed for ALH where weight, space and power are at premium. The system consists of a sonar dome housing, acoustic and environmental sensors, winch and handling system, electro-mechanical cable, signal conditioner and processor, sonar display and VHF receiver and antenna.

7-TADPOLE sonobuoy
NATO compatible TADPOLE sonobuoy developed by NPOL is a high altitude deployable sonar supported by parachute for smooth landing in sea surface. Tadpole is inducted into INDIAN navy for operation since year 2000. It has a choice of two selectable operating depths and three different operating periods up to 8 hours. The unit can be made non-functional after the set time of operation. The production agency for this device is M/s TATA Power Consultancy Limited, Bangalore.

BEL Offers Homemade Phased Array Radars For Tejas

BEL is offering indigenously-built radars for the Indian Air Force’s LCA Tejas currently featuring Israeli multi-mode radars on board.

SK Sharma, Chairman and Managing Director of BEL told reporters here at Aero India 2015, “Our Active Array Radar is currently being developed in collaboration with DRDO, and would take 2 years to complete. The progress is going good and we hope Tejas could ultimately have homemade radars."

The company executive highlighted the other IAF upgrade programmes including its electronic warfare suites expected to undergo trails in 6 months, which is also likely to cover the LCA program.

Simultaneously, BEL is developing new technical control radar for the army, low level transportable radars for IAF and army, as well as weapon upgrades for army.

Further adding, Sharma said Akash missile for the Indian Army has gained production clearance and the delivery will commence in next 2-3 years. “BEL has a share of over 3000-4000 crore in the order size of Rs 14000 crore”.

BEL will supply systems including long range capture surveillance and capture radar, fire radar, control systems among others.

Quizzed upon the Indian Army’s Battlefield Management System (BMS) program, Sharma said the official nod has not been given yet, and the actual progress will take another 4 years. BEL is bidding with 7 other companies.
