How it reaches BEL
-
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is leading the development of indigenous Software Defined Radio (SDR) systems for the Indian Armed Forces. The Indian Air Force expects the next-generation communication system to be complete by the end of the year, offering secured wireless communication across its fighter aircraft and ground stations. Meanwhile, the Indian Navy has already received the DRDO-developed “SDR Tactical” for ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, and ship-to-air voice, video, and data communication. For the land services, the Indian Army is integrating the indigenous “SDR MANPAC” to equip units with high data rates and Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) capabilities.
