Report: India is interested in Elbit's Foliage Penetration Radar

[DavidSling]

India is set to equip itself with several such radars to protect its border with Pakistan in the Kashmir region by preventing infiltration from dense forests and vegetation

According to a report on India Today, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has cleared the acquisition of the Israeli technology that will primarily be used to detect terrorists hiding in the jungles of the Kashmir valley.

Elbit Systems' Foliage Penetrating Radar, or FPR-10, is fitted with highly sensitive sensors capable of capturing human and transport movement in thick jungles. The Israeli radars will be installed at various locations in the valley and connected to a central control room that will receive its signals and images of suspect targets, their vehicles, weapons, and explosives.

Operation Chakravyuh is an Indian project aims to plug any possible routes for terrorists to infiltrate into the country, be it land, air or sea. Under Operation Chakravyuh, a network of sensitive sensors, radars, cameras, optical fiber and automatic guns are to be laid along the Pakistan border, which will be linked to the control room.

Elbit Systems has introduced its foliage penetration radar in June 2016. The FPR-10 is a Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) providing long-range, accurate, high-resolution detection of vehicles and personnel that are located behind foliage. The FPR-10 is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions as well as foliage interferences and disturbances.

Despite Indian media reports, Elbit Systems has yet to make any comments regarding the delivery of foliage-penetrating radars to India. This would suggest that the deal is only being negotiated at this stage.

Wow -----Turkey Hunting Season Begins !!

 

[[Bregs]]

Hmm need to acquire this radar to curb cross border intruders

 

[Ind4Ever]

Let Turkey Hunting season may Commence !!

Hahaha Our boys will be so excited by this new radar. Head Shots assured.

FPR-10
Foliage Penetration Radar

Overview
Elbit Systems EW&SIGINT - Elisra's new Foliage Penetration Radar - FPR-10 – is a Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) providing long-range, accurate, high-resolution detection of vehicles and personnel that are located behind foliage. The FPR-10 is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions as well as foliage interferences and disturbances.

Main Applications

• Borders, including tropical borders
• Critical infrastructures
• Airports and seaports
• Military bases

Main Features

• Detection behind foliage
• Long-range detection
• Wide-area surveillance
• Low FAR (False Alarm Rate)
• Easy integration and operation
• No moving parts
• Cost-effective

Elisra's Foliage Penetration Radar, FPR-10, covers a wide range in azimuth and elevation, together with long-range detection, even in areas of dense foliage. High reliability is achieved by the radar's sophisticated design, which has no moving parts.

Large areas - including international borders, air and seaports - can be secured through the use of multiple units that together provide end-to-end, overlapping coverage.

A fully integrated, easy-to-operate solution can be customized, using Elisra's command and control system together with Elbit System's electro-optic capabilities, and including Elisra's Foliage Penetration Radar.

Well ,it is good development. It may help in reducing the no. of successful intrusions in India significantly.

Why don't we install automatic sentries as in North -South Korea border or heavy fencing backed up by Thermal imagers,cameras & men like of Israel on palestinian border.

Your Opinion>> What you think how much it will be effective according to information available to us?
As last i heard during Pathankot Attack terrorists was somehow managed to damage Thermal imagers.

I for one want proper wall and 3 tiered ring facility with walls, automated sentries and rings, fences and trenches again with FPRs and finally boots in the innermost quadrant.


Something like these

But for that LOC has to be made IB and such construction has to be allowed peacefully.

If we do this infiltration will come down massively and we can better utilize our boots on the ground for effevtively sealing up the border for everything right from terrorists to drug peddlers to illegally crossing people

It will be pretty costly for entire border and then Tunnels are also there to negate it.

Something like this i had in mind. (Couldn't find the exact one i saw last month & was hoping for. )

but i think Multi layered system as you said will be a most welcome addition to our security.

However as in case of Israel also then Tunnel Warfare Starts.
A system must be such that any underground construction should be immediately noticed and dealt with.

India on its own is unlikely to deploy this type of comprehensive Multi-Layer System but in collaboration with Israel and South Korea. (They both share very hostile neighbours like we do , So must have faced problems similar to us)

Also, India will have to consider one thing unlike Israel, our neighbours provide full support to terrorists they may try to damage these systems in name of cross-border firings.

Exactly

thats see and shoot system india can buy this

Building such a wall prevents the quick deployment of our armoured regiment...I think!!

What to do with howitzer firing, Pakistan is no gazza and namo isn't Netanyahu.

I think he meant to say Automatic sentries to shoot infiltrators.
