India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) announced on December 18, 2025, nearing completion of the country’s first fully indigenous full-spectrum bistatic Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurement facility at its Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) in Bengaluru. This advanced setup, covering VHF (30–300 MHz), UHF (300 MHz–1 GHz), and L-band (1–2 GHz) frequencies, enables precise testing of Radar Absorbent Materials (RAM) and stealth coatings under operational conditions, reducing dependence on foreign ranges. Crucial for validating low-observable technologies in projects like the fifth-generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), the facility is slated for operational readiness by mid-2026, bolstering India’s self-reliant defense capabilities to match global stealth standards.
