Plans are afoot to equip helicopters of the Army Aviation Corps (AAC) with ultra-violet (UV)-based missile approach warning systems.These systems, which have certain advantages over similar radar or infra-red-based detectors, are meant to warn pilots of an incoming missile to enable them to take counter-measures.
Defence public sector undertaking Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) is set to take up the project for developing the UV-based systems. "We are at the stage of contract negotiations with the Army," BEL Director HN Ramakrisha told The Tribune here today.
"Deliveries will be done in 12 to 18 months after the contract is finalised," he added. The estimated value of the contract is over Rs 350 crore.
