The Indian Army is enhancing its drone defense capabilities along the northern and western borders following incursions during Operation Sindoor, by procuring advanced radar systems. Plans include acquiring up to 45 Low Level Light Weight Radars (Enhanced) and 48 Air Defence Fire Control Radar-Drone Detectors, which will integrate into the existing Akashteer air defense network. These radars will improve detection and tracking of low radar cross-section drones, ensuring faster and more effective responses against aerial threats. This strategic move underscores India’s commitment to bolstering its air defense in light of evolving threats, particularly from drone swarms used by adversaries.
