India is significantly advancing its electronic warfare (EW) capabilities through a collaboration between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Air Force (IAF), leading to the development of an indigenous S-band ground-based jammer. This system, drawing inspiration from Russia’s Krasukha EW technology, aims to disrupt enemy Airborne Early Warning and Control (AWACS) aircraft and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, enhancing India’s operational effectiveness against threats from Pakistan and China. Furthermore, India’s strategic focus on EW is bolstered by a comprehensive doctrine integrating its Army, Navy, and Air Force, addressing the evolving threats of modern warfare, including drones and hypersonic missiles. With an ambitious target of achieving Rs 35,000 crore in defense exports by 2025, India is positioning itself as a key player in the global defense electronics market, leveraging innovation in artificial intelligence and miniaturized systems. The integration of advanced technologies is expected to enhance India’s deterrence capabilities and operational readiness, as demonstrated during recent operations that showcased the effectiveness of electronic countermeasures against enemy radar systems. Thus, India’s commitment to bolstering its EW capabilities is not only a response to regional security challenges but also a strategic move towards establishing a robust defense industry.
