India has introduced an advanced Very High Frequency (VHF) radar to enhance its air defense capabilities, particularly for detecting stealth aircraft. Officially launched on January 29, 2025,at BEL-Ghaziabad, this cutting-edge system boosts surveillance and security efforts.
This powerful radar system offers several advantages:
* Constant Airspace Monitoring: It continuously scans the skies, improving detection of stealth aircraft, including advanced fighters, from long distances.
* High-Precision Tracking: Advanced technology ensures accurate identification and monitoring of aerial threats.
* Effective Against Stealth Technology: Operating in the VHF band (30 to 300 MHz), the radar's longer wavelengths help detect aircraft designed to evade traditional radars.
* Extended Range: It can track targets beyond 100 nautical miles, providing early warnings against potential threats. While specific detection capabilities remain classified, it significantly reduces the effectiveness of stealth aircraft.
* Mobility and Strategic Advantage: Built for rapid deployment, the radar is mounted on two TATRA vehicles, making it easy to relocate and adapt to changing security needs. Its mobility ensures better coverage and flexibility in various terrains.
Advancing Defence Technology
This new radar marks a significant step forward in self-reliance for defense systems. It strengthens India's ability to track modern stealth aircraft and improves overall airspace security.
The radar will be featured at Aero India 2025, offering defense experts and industry leaders a firsthand look at its capabilities. The event will highlight India’s progress in radar technology and its expanding role in advanced defense systems.
This next-generation VHF radar is a game-changer for India’s defence.
With stealth detection, continuous surveillance, and fast deployment, it plays a key role in securing national airspace. Its ability to track advanced stealth aircraft makes it an essential tool in modern warfare.
