A Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist will explain the nation’s maritime and aerial surveillance systems, highlighting recent technological advances.
A senior scientist from the Defence Research and Development Organisation is scheduled to brief media and defence analysts on India’s maritime and aerial surveillance architecture. The briefing will cover the integrated use of radar networks, unmanned aerial vehicles, and satellite sensors that monitor the country's coastal waters and airspace.
The scientist is expected to outline how these systems support the Indian Navy and Air Force in detecting and responding to potential threats, as well as their role in safeguarding commercial shipping lanes and civilian air traffic. Emphasis will be placed on recent upgrades that improve detection range and data processing speed.
Officials say the session reflects DRDO’s ongoing commitment to modernise India’s surveillance capabilities in line with evolving security challenges in the Indian Ocean Region and the nation’s air domain.
