Israeli medium-power radar to be commissioned in Gujarat this week

In keeping with the overall plan to bolster India’s air defence surveillance network, IAF will commission a spanking new Israeli medium-power radar (MPR) at Naliya in Gujarat this week. “This state-of-the-art radar, to be named Arudhra, is being inducted towards strengthening the air defence in the Saurashtra-Kutch region and constitutes an important component in IAF’s plan to achieve network-centric operations,” said an officer.

IAF chief Air Chief Marshal P V Naik will be inducting the radar, which has a range of over 300 km, at the Naliya airbase on Friday after the commanders’ conference of the South-Western Air Command.

IAF has already inked contracts for 19 LLTRs (low-level transportable radars), four MPRs and 30 indigenous medium-range Rohini radars, apart from also planning a major induction of long-range surveillance radars (LRSRs) and high-power radars (HPRs) to bolster air defence coverage in “hilly terrain” in the hinterland as well as along the borders with China and Pakistan.

India is also moving towards procuring nine more Aerostat radars to add to the two EL/M-2083 Israeli Aerostats inducted earlier as well as two additional AWACS (airborne warning and control systems) to supplement the first three Israeli Phalcon AWACS bought under a $1.1-billion deal.

The overall aim of all this is to ensure that the Indian airspace, which still has several gaping holes, especially over central and peninsular India, becomes impregnable against hostile aircraft, drones and helicopters.

With advanced “electronic counter-counter measures”, the new radars being inducted will be integrated into the IACCS (integrated air command and control system), the fully-automated network being established to integrate the wide array of military radars with each other as well as with civilian radars.

IAF, in fact, has plans to establish 10 IACCS nodes to cover virtually the entire country, with quick transfer of data from different radars as well as ground stations of AWACS to one central place.

Really conflicting news. There are two types of MPR IAF getting. One developed by DRDO and another one from Israel. Let us wait till tomorrow for confirmation which one is this.

its developed by DRDO. The project was sanctioned in November 2008 to
develop a ground based rotating active array radar for IAF with 300 km range.

You are rite but there are two MPRs. One developed by DRDO and another from Israel. We have to see which one is this.

This 4D is possibly the Israel... i really doubt DRDO can deliver such sophisticated one ... If delivered it would have been in news like a monster on all channels

nope it aint conflicting ...india is currently inducting dual radars made from israel as well as indigenously made one's.as we have done in the past .

DRDO also putting a AESA radar of same range on DRDO-AWACS...

[johnny boy]

good job by the indian's in the field of surveillance and detection...we seem to be roaring ahead...

[kingdurgaking]

DRDO also putting a AESA radar of same range on DRDO-AWACS...

Yeah ... i dont deny.. all AESA are not 4D... for sure this is an Israeli one...

Lets wait till tomorrow.. it will be clear... if it is Indigenous i am the first one to be happy... but idrw is always reliable...

DRDO MPR is to be AESA but this radar looks like mechanical one so it is not drdo MPR according to me

Ofcourse but there are two types of MPR.

Really? Where did you learn that this is 4D radar?

i really doubt DRDO can deliver such sophisticated one ... If delivered it would have been in news like a monster on all channels

Your doubt does not make any sense. You need to learn more before creating doubt. Its already on the news channels, what do you want more!!!
