Lots of imp stuff in this pic.
For starters , what's the difference between LRR or Long range radar and LRTR of BMD ?
Then there's VLRR in the pic . Its part of BMD and has a fixed antenna.
Two VLRTR sites are already up and running as part of BMD and for keeping tabs on Pak and Chinese missile tests. Then whats the need for this VLRR design from DRDO?
Also theres the LRBMR of Project Kusha or LRSAM.
LRBMR stands for Long range Battery Multifunction radar. It will be having 700+ km range for a 3 sqm target and will utilise GaN amplifier based TRM.

May be VLRR gave way for VLRTR. It could be that LRR evolved into LRTR. We can only guess. One could be for Phase-1 and other could be for Phase-2.

IA is yet to order ADFCR. They are using 3D Tactical Control Radar with their AD guns.

Manpads are extremely effective in high altitude also, especially in Himalayan or other mountain ranges.

Another Holy shit is that's for 3sqmtr target.
Holy Shit more than 3000 kms range....
It's low frequency radar isn't it . Which means can detect stealthy aircraft ?

SAAB to start making Carl Gustav M4 in Haryana, India
https://www.livemint.com/industry/s...s-defence-projects-report-11699150440366.html
Sweden's Saab has reportedly become the first foreign company that has bagged 100% FDI in India's defence projects. According to a report by the Economic Times, Sweden's Saab will set up a new facility in the country that will manufacture shoulder-fired rockets.
Citing sources, the English daily added that the ₹500 crore FDI proposal was cleared last month. Mint could not independently verify the report.
Currently, India allows only 74% FDI in the defence sector under the automatic route. Beyond that, clearance can be obtained on a case-by-case basis. However, the clearance rules were relaxed in 2015, still, no foreign firm was able to get permission for 100% FDI in defence.
The Government has liberalised and allowed FDI under automatic route up to 74% and up to 100% through Government route wherever it is likely to result in access to modern technology.
India received foreign direct investment (FDI) worth $3.21 million in defence industries during April-September period in FY 2023. The sector had attracted $2.36 million foreign investment in 2021-22, $0.63 million in 2020-21, $2.20 million in 2019-20, $2.18 million in 2018-19 and $0.01 million in 2017-18, according to Centre's data.
What will Saab do?
Saab FFV India has been registered as per the ET report and will make the latest generation of the Carl-Gustaf M4 system. This will be the first time Saab will manufacture Carl-Gustaf M4 outside Sweden. The facility of Saab is likely to come up in Haryana.
The shoulder-fired rockets are used by Indian armed forces extensively, and countries like the US, and European nations also use them to take down fortified enemy positions, armour, and personnel.
In 2016, French firm DCNS became the first foreign company to seek approval of 100% FDI to set up a subsidiary to develop advanced systems that would give submarines more underwater endurance, ET reported.
The French firm has sought to invest over ₹100 crore in the Indian subsidiary (DCNS India Pvt Ltd) to develop high-end critical defence technologies but it did not get permission.

How come my fellow Sanghis here miss this ?
Looks like the new LRR, the baap of Swordfish LRTR.
And here is the actual site somewhere in Karnataka.
The GreenPine derived Swordfish L band radar was deployed here earlier. By earlier I mean 8-10 years ago. This is a LRDE site meant for experimentation, field tests , and real world performance evaluation. This site isn't manned by IAF or NTRO IAF joint teams. Its entirely Drdo's.
Now it's being used for evaluating the brand new LRR. Unlike LRTR, LRR uses GaN amplifier based TRM and has a range of around 2000+ km. Its the next evolution in the series of indigenously developed radars meant for BMD program.
PS- Our BMD program has reached operational status with radars and interceptors both in active service.
