In a landmark event for India’s defence sector, the Anti Stealth VHF Radar, a product of collaboration between the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), was officially launched today at BEL’s facility in Ghaziabad. This cutting-edge radar system, designed to counter stealth technology, represents a significant advancement in India’s Indigenous defence capabilities.
The newly unveiled radar system comes equipped with advanced surveillance features, including a ‘staring capability’ that allows for the detection of stealth targets at extended ranges. This technology is particularly noteworthy as it challenges the effectiveness of stealth aircraft and other low-observable platforms, providing the Indian military with a strategic edge in aerial surveillance and defense.
The launch event was marked by a demonstration of the radar’s capabilities, showcasing its ability to detect and track targets with reduced radar cross-sections, a challenge that has long been the domain of high-end military technology. This radar system not only enhances India’s air defense network but also positions the nation as a key player in the global market for radar technology.
“The development of this Anti Stealth VHF Radar is a testament to the innovative spirit and technical prowess of India’s defense research and manufacturing sectors,” stated a senior official from LRDE during the flag-off ceremony. “This system will play a crucial role in safeguarding our skies and will undoubtedly contribute to our national security.”
Following its domestic launch, the radar will be prominently featured at Aero India 2025, offering a global audience the opportunity to witness this technological marvel. Aero India, known for attracting defense professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders from around the world, will serve as the perfect platform to showcase India’s strides in radar technology and stealth detection.
