Swordfish is an Indian Long range tracking radar specifically developed to counter ballistic missile threat. It will be a part of India's ballistic missile program. First testing of this radar was in March 2009. Main aim of the test was to validate the capabilities of the indigenously developed Swordfish Long Range Tracking Radar (LRTR). "The missile to be hit will be fired from a longer distance than it was in the earlier test. DRDO tested whether the radar could track the incoming missile from that distance or not" said a member of the project.

Capabilities

Target acquisition and fire control radar for the BMD system.
Can Guide Exo-atmospheric interceptor missile PAD to hit its target in space at an altitude over 80 km from earth.
The Swordfish LRTR currently has a range of 600 km (370 mi)-800 km (500 mi) km range and can spot objects as small as a cricket ball (2-inches in diameter), which the DRDO plans to upgrade to 1,500 km by 2011.[2][3] These may end up as entirely new designs as well.



Deployment of 5 such radars can cover the whole of Pakistan more or less

Central Acquisition Radar (3D-CAR) - The Central Acquisition Radar (3D-CAR) is a 3D radar developed by DRDO for use with Akash SAM capable of tracking 150 targets. India has further developed its 3D CAR into all new locally produced ROHINI & REVATHI variants. The ROHINI is the Indian Air Force specific variant whereas the REVATHI is for the Indian Navy. These replace the original joint development items such as the planar array antenna with new locally developed ones which are more capable than the original design. A third variant, known as the 3D Tactical Control Radar has been developed for the Indian Army and has cleared trials.

EL/M-2080 Green Pine
The EL/M-2080 Green Pine (Hebrew: אורן ירוק"Ž, pronounced [oʁen jaʁok]) is an Israeli ground-based missile-defense radar produced by Elta, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, to operate mainly with the Arrow theater missile defense system of Israel, which is jointly funded and produced with the United States. Green Pine was exported to India, and its advanced version, the Super Green Pine, is also to be delivered to South Korea at a cost of $83 million apiece, and to Azerbaijan. The Israeli Air Defense Command within the Israeli Air Force (IAF) of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operates both Green Pine radars and Super Green Pine radars as an integral part of the Arrow system.

2D Low Level Lightweight Radar (LLLR) for the Army, which require many of these units for gapfilling in mountainous terrain. The Indian Air Force will also acquire the same for key airbases. The LLLR is a 2D radar with a range of 40 km against a 2 target, intended as a gapfiller to plug detection gaps versus low level aircraft in an integrated Air Defence Ground network. The LLLR makes use of Indra-2 technology, namely a similar antenna array, but has roughly half the range and is much smaller and a far more portable unit. The LLLR can track while scan 100 targets and provide details about their speed, azimuth and range to the operator. The LLLR makes use of the BFSR-SR experience and many of the subsystem providers are the same. Multiple LLLRs can be networked together. The LLLR is meant to detect low level intruders, and will alert Army Air Defence fire control units to cue their weapon systems.[10] A 3D LLLR was also revealed in 2008, with the designation "Aslesha".

Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun!

can we further develop such prototypes into high grade military weapon?

i also like the self-destruction payload at the end.

please let me know your opinion, i think such weapons can be cost effective.

Already posted this. http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/indian-army/35210-surveillance-target-acquisition-equipments.html#post479516

Copycat :taunt1:

Anyway on topic. They are silent, can carry a good payload and the human casualty is minimal. Great bang for buck. Also the self-destruct will mean that it can not be used by enemies against us in case it is caught plus this can be used as a kamikaze attack as a last resort, maybe.

PS: Have nice day.
next time i am posting FPS videos :taunt:
