Bad news for Pakistan as India readies advanced radar system which can detect and shoot Pakistani drones in seconds, they are deadly because…
New Delhi: Taking a note from from recent conflicts like Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas, and India's own Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army is upgrading its air defence systems to counter evolving aerial threats, especially low-flying drones, which became a significant threat for India during the recent conflict with Pakistan. In the recent update, the Ministry of Defence has issued an RFI for Air Defense Fire Control Radar – Drone Detector (ADFCR-DD) systems. Here are all the details about (ADFCR-DD) systems and how they will be used against Pakistani drones. Why Indian Army requires good radar systems? Modern threats such as electric drones and drone swarms, with low radar and infrared signatures, are harder to detect than traditional aircraft. During Operation Sindoor, Pakistan used drones for both surveillance and attacks, highlighting the need for more advanced detection and neutralisation capabilities. How Army will use radar systems against Pakistan? With the use of Air Defense Fire Control Radar – Drone Detector (ADFCR-DD) systems, Indian Army can detect the Pakistani drones which have very low radar and infrared (IR) signatures, making them difficult to detect. The radar system can be used for detecting, tracking, identifying and neutralising modern aerial threats ranging from fighter aircraft, helicopters to low radar cross section (RCS) drones and swarm systems. Defence Ministry gives nod to beef up Armed forces In another significant development, the Defence Acquisition Council, under the chairmanship of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh recently approved various proposals for buying military hardware at a total cost of about Rs 67,000 crore, as per a report carried by news agency IANS. Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) was accorded for the procurement of Thermal Imager-based Driver Night Sight for the Indian Army's BMP fleet. This will enhance the night driving capability of BMPs and provide higher mobility and operational advantage to the Mechanised Infantry, according to an official statement.

After Op Sindoor success, Army moves to boost drone defence network
Learning from recent global conflicts and its own Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army is moving to strengthen its air defence network against modern aerial threats, including drones and swarm Ministry of Defence has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to procure Air Defence Fire Control Radar – Drone Detector (ADFCR-DD) systems. These will be used to detect, track, classify and neutralise threats ranging from fighter jets and helicopters to small, low radar-cross-section Air Defence aims to protect high-value assets in strategic locations. Officials said threats have evolved from fighter aircraft to low-flying, electrically operated drones with minimal radar and infrared signatures — a trend seen in the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas conflict and Operation Sindoor. During Operation Sindoor, Pakistan used drones and swarms for surveillance and strikes on civil and defence targets. The Army's L/70, ZU 2B and Schilka weapon systems, firing smart ammunition, were credited with cost-effective neutralisation of these enhance capabilities, the Army plans to pair L/70 guns with new fire control radars able to detect, identify, classify and direct fire against even the smallest drones. Each radar system will include a search radar, track radar, fire control system, electro-optical fire control system with Identify Friend or Foe capability, and a power supply radar will be lightweight, mounted on a single vehicle and able to control at least two L/70 or successor guns. It will also transmit target data to very short-range air defence RFI specifies that the search radar should use active array technology with digital beam forming, have multi-function capability including track-while-scan, and operate in jamming conditions. Vendors have been asked to provide cost estimates for 12, 24, 36 and 48 systems, along with delivery equipment will be tested in India on a 'no cost, no commitment' basis to assess performance under operational conditions.- EndsTune InMust Watch
