DRDO developing foliage penetration radar to track Maoists | | To be one step ahead in fight against the Maoists in jungle warfare, Defence Minister AK Antony today said that India's premier research and development organisation, DRDO, is developing a whole set of technologies and weapons system to help the security forces in the low intensity conflict zone. Defence Research and Development Organisation is providing unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs), micro air vehicles (MAVs), ground penetration radars,
foliage penetration radars and other weapons to the paramilitary forces and the
state police forces to fight against the Maoists and other extremists. "Development
of Foliage Penetration Radar is being taken up by DRDO for all Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV) applications," Antony said. Antony also said that the Armed Forces
will not be used for anti-naxal operation or tracking Maoist hideouts. The ground
penetration radars will help in locating the IEDs (improvised explosive devices)
used by the naxalites and the foliage penetration radar will track the movement
of vehicles and people moving around in jungles easily. |
