An Indian company today claimed to have indigenously developed four advanced dual-use radar systems capable of 3D bird detection and deterrence, besides UAV tracker and foliage penetration, a first for the domestic defence industry.
The radars would have a global launch in the upcoming Aero India air show in Bengaluru.
"OIS Advanced Technology has the IP rights for these four radars. We are launching these advanced radar systems for global markets, in essence taking Indian intellectual property and manufactured product to advance our expanded vision of taking Make in India to the world," Sanjay Bhandari, Founder- Chairman and Managing Director of the firm said here.
The company said its 3D Bird Detection, Tracking and Monitoring and Deterrence Radar System is a global first.
Bhandari explained that there are bird detection radars but those don't come quipped with deterrence capabilities.
"Our technology uses bio-acoustics (sound) and an eye-safe laser both of which are automatically controlled by the radar system."
The company has already bid for the Indian Air Force's requirements for such a radar.
It has also designed, developed and manufactured another industry's first - the 3D Multi-function, Multi-mode UAV Detection and Tracking and Air Surveillance Radar System.
Unlike most air surveillance radars today, it includes a unique Sense-N-Avoid feature to identify UAVs that may be on a collision course, allowing the controller to take remedial action, the firm said.
The company claims that it can detect a small UAV up to 25 kms and fighter aircraft up to 60 kms.
