The Hyderabad city based Defence Electronics Research Laboratory is developing a hi-tech decoy system which will be able to ‘seduce’ missiles away from their legitimate targets.
The decoy, meant for the Indian Navy, will be equipped with the most modern electronic warfare system. DLRL is planning to collaborate with international firms to develop the technology.
“It will emit strong signals to seduce an in-coming missile and detract it from the targeted path,” said the DLRL director, Mr R.
Sreehari Rao. “The missile will hit the decoy and the target will be protected.” The decoy can also be towed to enable an aircraft to draw the missile’s attention to a false target. It is programmed to present a more attractive target to the missile.
“It will protect aircraft, ships and other installations against radar guided missiles,” said Mr Sreehari Rao. Being selfpropelled, the decoys can fly freely too and can entice away a missile more easily than a towed decoy.
Mr Sreehari Rao said the DLRL has plans to develop high altitude EWS that would have a larger range. The Samyukta EWS would be ready by November this year, he said.
“In a battle field, electromagnetic spectrum is extensively used for various purposes,” he said. “It is traditionally believed that winning the war means control over land, air and sea based assets. The fourth dimension is the EM spectrum and no war can be won without effectively controlling it.” Mr Sreehari Rao said the DLRL had developed integrated electronic warfare systems for the Indian Army for tactical battlefield operations as well as low conflict scenarios.
