With the introduction of a photonic radar system, India’s defense research organization has made a courageous move into next-generation sensing.
This novel platform uses light-based signals to identify airborne threats, which represents a major change from conventional radars that depend on radio waves and may alter the way targets are tracked in the future.
According to the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), the system has the potential to address one of the biggest blind spots in contemporary radar technology, namely stealth aircraft.
