India’s Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is currently developing an indigenous electronic warfare (EW) systems that will have a range of up to 500 kilometers when fitted on UAVs and aircraft. The range will scale up further when fitted aboard satellites launched by Indian Space Research Organisation, a DRDO official said. The EW system currently used by India is ground-based EW systems fitted on naval platforms with a range of only 10 to 20 kilometers. A prototype of a synthetic aperture radar developed at the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment, a Bangalore-based laboratory under DRDO, will be flight-tested on an aircraft this year. The estimated to cost to develop the EW is about $5 billion, and the bulk of these systems are being developed by state-owned Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL).
