Counter Stealth and India’s efforts.

Every weapon at some point of time will have a Counter weapon, it’s just matter of time Said B2 Stealth Bomber Developer to USAF following his research on how fast Rivals will develop Counter Stealth technology.
When Stealth aircrafts first burst into scene in late 80’s USAF knew they had a weapon system which changed course of first Gulf war but USAF also knew that adversaries will initiate development of anti-access/area denial capabilities across multiple domains such as land, sea, air, cyber and space to Counter Stealth and American superiority .
Beginning of this Decade multiple counter stealth technologies intended to reduce or track Stealth platforms were first revealed by Russia and later by china. New counter stealth technologies are a combination of various sensors and their fusion which can work in tandem to detect or identify Stealth platforms.
counter stealth technologies involve multiple radars of VHF, UHF, AESA and long wave over the horizon (OTH) radars antenna working in different wavelength and combining active and passive detection systems to create a fusion of multiple data which automatically creates a robust kill chain against Stealth Platforms.
Each system has its own Advantage and its disadvantage and working in tandem with a fusion of sensors helps in creating bistatic and multistatic detection systems which help in reducing the effectiveness of the RCS reduction measures carried out on Stealth aircrafts .
Indian Efforts
While DRDO has been tight-lipped on India efforts to develop multiple counter stealth technologies but looking at its success in development of various advance Radar system which have been developed in-house by DRDO, India will be keen to work on such systems in near future due to rise in development of multiple Stealth Platforms in Chinese military which will go Active by 2020.
Sources in DRDO close to idrw.org have informed us that first such effort which will be made in development of next-generation Awacs project which recently India has initiated. As per sources, One of the Key requirements for the development of new indigenous Airborne 360-degree coverage AESA (active electronically scanned array) radar is that it should have the ability to detect low observable aircrafts.
Under “Awacs-India” project, India will develop two Awacs systems mounted on Airbus A-330 wide-body jets which can detect incoming aerial threats like hostile fighters, drones and cruise missiles from 400-km away and will be ready for induction by 2020 as per official timeline .
DRDO also is looking out for possible foreign partners with whom it can develop several sensors and radar systems which can be used in the development of multiple counter stealth technologies.
Israel in recently concluded Paris airshow unveiled an Advance UHF AESA radar system which it claims has been designed to search, detect and track air-breathing targets including low observable aircraft’s missiles and even ballistic missiles. New Family of Ultra UHF radars can work with earlier warning assets and can support radar systems like Green pine or Super green pine Radar systems in improving early warning of all types of threats including stealth aircrafts.
India and Israel have a History of long-standing collaboration in the development of Strategic radar system and have jointly developed radar systems like Swordfish AESA long-range tracking radar which is part of the Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme. Further collaborations with Israel in the development of multiple counter stealth technologies will be natural for both partners in near future and soon we might see some progress on India’s effort in developing counter stealth technologies.
