India has developed a surveillance central acquisition radar and is also working on a weapon locating radar, officials of electronics and radar development establishment (LRDE) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) said today.
Director of Bangalore-based LRDE, a DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) lab, S Varadarajan said LRDE has developed the Multibeam 3D Surveillance central acquisition radar at the group level for Akash missile system.
The weapon locating radar based on the phased array Rajendra radar technology and airborne maritime patrol radar for naval advanced light helicopter, is in advanced stage of joint development with BEL, a defence public sector undertaking.
"It (weapon locating radar) is in the final stage of evaluation. Once evaluation is complete, we will deliver it to armed forces," chairman and managing director of BEL, Y Gopala Rao, told reporters on the sidelines of the international radar symposium India-2005 being held here.
Varadarajan said other important radar systems under development include 3D medium range surveillance radar for ship-borne and ground-based air defence and transportable low-level lightweight radars for air defence.
"A major programme has been launched in the area of airborne surveillance radar for early warning and control," he told the symposium.
