Astra Microwave Develops Indigenous Handheld Radar for Paramilitary Forces
Astra Microwave Products Limited (AMPL) has developed an indigenous handheld Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) aimed at enhancing the capabilities of India’s paramilitary forces by replacing imported systems. This innovative GPR, designed for tasks such as mine detection and counter-IED operations, aligns with India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, promoting self-reliance in defense technologies. The device is tailored to meet operational demands, features advanced detection capabilities, and adheres to stringent military standards, with an estimated domestic demand of 100 units annually. By providing a cost-effective and reliable solution, AMPL is well-positioned to capture the market and potentially export to other nations facing similar security challenges.
