In a significant step towards enhancing India’s defense capabilities, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has awarded the development of a Radar Signal Processor with an Active Antenna Array Simulator to Data Pattern (India) Limited, based in Chennai. This cutting-edge project aims to deploy a multiple target system for the test and evaluation of various short-range aerial weapon systems, serving as a foundational element for more extensive radar systems in the future.
Radar signal processing is a vital component in modern defense systems, enabling the detection, tracking, and identification of aerial targets. The integration of an Active Antenna Array Simulator will significantly enhance the capability to simulate complex radar environments, facilitating the development and refinement of advanced radar systems.
Radar Signal Processor is the heart of a radar system, responsible for processing the raw signals received from the antenna to identify the presence, location, and characteristics of targets. Active Antenna Array Simulator is cutting-edge technology simulates the behavior of a real active antenna array, which electronically steers radar beams to track multiple targets simultaneously.
