Defense News ,India :- The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has unveiled a Portable Target Echo Simulator (PTES) designed specifically for testing X-band missile seekers, commonly employed in anti-ship missiles.
In addition to the PTES, DRDO has made significant strides in the development of various seeker technologies and products, catering to a range of tactical missile systems. Notable advancements include the Radio Frequency Gimballed Seeker (RPF) and Altimeter system, which has found applications in Beyond Visual Range Air to Air Missiles (BVRAAM) such as Astra and Akash-1S.
DRDO's commitment to innovation extends to the following seeker technologies and products:
1. Ku-band RF Seeker for Anti-Aircraft applications
2. X-band RF Seeker for Anti-Ship applications
3. Radio-Proximity Fuse systems (RPF)
4. Radio Frequency Gimballed Seeker
5. RPF and Altimeter system
6. Ceramic/Composite Radome
The successful flight testing of Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) Seeker systems in Anti-Tank Guided Missiles Nag, HELINA, and MPATGM showcases the organization's prowess in this domain. Moreover, IIR Seekers have demonstrated their efficacy in high-stakes missions, including the Exo-Atmospheric Interceptor PDV and the Anti-Satellite Test (ASAT) Mission Shakti.
DRDO's continuous pursuit of cutting-edge technologies reinforces its position as a leading authority in the development and testing of advanced missile systems.
