In a significant boost to India’s maritime capabilities, Japan is set to supply advanced naval ship antennas to its Quad ally. Developed by NEC and other Japanese companies, the NORA-50 antennas are renowned for their ability to rapidly detect missiles and drones, a critical capability in modern naval warfare.
These cutting-edge antennas, currently deployed on Japan’s most advanced escort ships, offer a unique combination of functionalities. Integrated into a single, horn-shaped structure, they house multiple antennas for tactical data link, TACAN, and communication purposes. This design significantly reduces the radar cross-section (RCS), making the equipped vessel harder to detect by enemy radar systems.
The collaboration between India and Japan on this technology underscores the growing strategic partnership between the two nations in the Indo-Pacific. By sharing advanced technology, the two countries aim to enhance maritime security and deter potential threats in the region.
The NORA-50 system is expected to provide the Indian Navy with a substantial edge in terms of situational awareness and response capabilities. The ability to accurately track and intercept incoming threats is crucial for safeguarding national interests and maintaining stability in the region.
This technological transfer also signifies a deeper integration of defense capabilities between India and Japan, solidifying their position as key players in the Indo-Pacific maritime domain.
