Drone Defence with Advanced Radars | 08 Sep 2025
Post-Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army plans to bolster drone defence by procuring advanced radars to detect and neutralise low radar cross-section (RCS) aerial threats.
- These radars will plug into the Army’s Akashteer air defence command-and-control network, improving real-time tracking.
- Key Technological Features of Advance Radars:
- Low Level Light Weight Radars (Improved)- LLLR-I: AESA-based 3D radar with the capability to track over 100 aerial targets within 50 km across diverse terrains.
- Low Level Light Weight Radars (Enhanced)-LLLR-E: Adds Electro-Optical Tracking System (EOTS) and passive RF detection for day-night and silent tracking of drones.
- Air Defence Fire Control Radar – Drone Detector-ADFCR-DD: Vehicle-mounted system integrating radar, fire control, and IFF for coordinating gunfire and VSHORADS (Very Short Range Air Defence Systems) missiles.
