India has achieved a significant milestone in defense technology as the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Chief, Dr. Samir V. Kamat, announced full self-sufficiency in radar systems, meeting world-class standards across various operational domains. The nation now boasts a comprehensive range of radar capabilities, from airborne and ship-based systems to long-range tracking for ballistic missile defense and cloud-based technologies for enhanced situational awareness. This advancement not only fortifies India’s defense preparedness but also minimizes reliance on foreign suppliers, facilitating cost reductions and quicker upgrades tailored to domestic needs. The ongoing focus on next-generation radar technologies, including AESA and AI-enabled systems, underscores India’s commitment to staying ahead of emerging threats, reinforcing its strategic position in a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.
