The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched the country’s first electronic surveillance satellite, EMISAT, from Sriharikota in coastal Andhra Pradesh on Monday morning.

some chatter info abt EMISAT and its effect on LOC:
"We have launched EMISAT. it will take us a few days to declare it fully operational after some mandatory tests. Do you know the kind of capability it gives us? We will now be able to locate every PA position even if hidden from the transmissions they make and IA has a very huge data base of the sets they use and the frequencies they use. We will be able to pin point each such transmitter and take it out by either arty fire or air burst Mortar rounds. Even the PA Snipers are not safe now."

"India’s first ELINT satellite was developed jointly in over five years by ISRO and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), under the latter’s Project Kautilya. EMISAT will be able to scan the ground for electromagnetic signals to intercept hostile radar signals as well as other electronic broadcast frequencies. It is sensitive to the Ka band of the electromagnetic frequencies of radar spectrum, ranging up to 40GHz. This reportedly gives it the ability to scan through practically any terrain obstruction to detect signal anomalies, and alert defend systems well in advance while delaying the enemies by intercepting transmission."
i just found this news and a chatter related to this EMISAT on sf forum.
am not expert related to these tecks. i just shared it.
The article has no mention of snipers. I didn't realize you were quoting a user comment.
I don't think EMISAT does anything to expose Paki snipers particularly...........
Well Yes and No.
I have been posting about ADSB transmissions of some suspicious high flying jets over my area and pics too. I am just a RF Hobbyist with a fairly decent grasp of the topic. Don't get me wrong, I may be wrong about stuff, I'll correct myself if corrected.
Ask any RF enthusiast, they always want to place their antennas at highest possible position to get the strongest reception. They will go to extraordinary lengths to reduce interference/harmonic disturbances from the strong emitters nearly to get a clean sample of the reception. At the current orbit, I think EMISAT is trumping everyone of us at its reccier position/altitude. It can "see" a huge area as compared to anything on ground or airborne. Like god's eye as far as this region and RF is concerned.
Looking at it's operational frequency range, I couldn't stop myself from drooling like a lab. To us hobbyists 6Ghz of HackRF1 seems to be the maximum limit. You may increase or decrease it a bit more with down or up converters but won't get good signal quality. EMISAT on the other hand is the state of the art RF hardware with a classified scanning bandwidth. That means it can keep "looking" for multiple types of RF broadcast at the same time.
Sampling data from multiple super sensitive directional antennas, it would see those broadcast as hot spots on ground with quantifiable digital data on each emitter. Theoretically It can discriminate between a handheld radio to vehicle mounted one. With high speed downlink it can also "see" airborne emitters, though I doubt it would result in a weapon-lock grade tracking.
So can it pinpoint Snipers, probably NO. But it can over time generate enough data to figure out the bird's nest positions. It won't guide a shell on the Sniper but could easily give a grid location to direct few air burst artillery shells.
But that's not it's primary objective, it's primary objective is to provide "juicy" emitter locations that airborne assets can look into. Consider it as a Aunty in sky looking out for all your BF/GF ingress-egress data, passing it on to Pummy aunty on the top floor of your building for further investigation.hb

Why do I get a fleeting feeling that you would know about the other half of the sannyasi...
