Highlights
- DRDO develops a new form of 3 variant Technology for missile security
- Advanced chaff technology to be used for Indian Navy ships
- The methods have been tested by Indian Navy defense officers.
Indian defense battalions of the Navy and Air force always need a huge amount of information to function properly. A large amount of the country’s budget is often spent to manage and develop these sectors’ technology. After all, they are responsible for keeping up the safety of the country at all times. DRDO has developed a certain method that can help to protect the Indian Navy ships from missile attacks.
The Technology For The Indian Navy
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has designed a new technology type for the Indian Navy ships to be safe from missile attacks. The enemy missiles can be detected with the help of Advanced Chaff Technology. This can ensure the security of the Indian Navy Ships.
One of the DRDO units, The Defence Laboratory Jodhpur (DLJ), worked very hard indigenously to develop the technology with raw materials present in India. The variants of different types of technology had been used to develop the model. The variants include Long Range Chaff Rocket (LRCR), Medium-Range Chaff Rocket (MRCR), and Short-Range Chaff Rocket (SRCR). This has met the requirements placed by the Indian Navy Qualifications as well.
Role of Indian Navy
The three trials based on the variants were conducted on the Arabian sea by the Indian Navy. The results were found to be satisfactory and the defenders of the nation found the system to be helpful. The defense officials have stated that the chaff is a passive and expendable electronic technology.
It is considered among the countermeasure technology which can be used to protect the ships from the radar of the enemy. It can also protect the naval ships from the radio frequency missile seekers of the enemies.
Final words
It is expected that these technologies can help to protect the ships from any kind of enemy attack. If the missiles cannot attack the ships from a distance, it becomes safer for the naval ships to conduct patrols. The missiles are often considered to be the greatest threat to naval ships. It is to be seen whether these come to any effect or not.
