Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO’s) decade-long effort succeeded last week when it concluded trials of an indigenously developed aerostat system that will carry out surveillance and gather intelligence for all three defence services.
The medium-sized 32-foot-long aerostat with a capacity of 2,000 cubic metres was under development for the past four years. DRDO has spent around Rs70 crore on research and development of the device.
Sources said the two aerostats purchased by Indian Air Force from Israeli manufacturer Elta had not been performing well, which prompted development of the indigenous.
The Indian aerostat can carry electro-optic and COMINT (communication intelligence) payloads for surveillance. The system has been designed, developed and integrated by Agra-based Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment.
DRDO sources said they had not received any orders from the services yet, but the system was ready for manufacturing as per requirements of the armed forces and the paramilitary.
