Bhumi Entech Unveil Mobile Anti-ARM Decoy System to Protects IAF Radars From Anti-Radiation Missiles
Bhumi Entech, a Delhi-based defence firm, has developed an advanced solution to counter the growing threat of anti-radiation missiles (ARMs), which target crucial radar installations. This cutting-edge mobile Anti-ARM Decoy system, recently inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF) after passing rigorous tests, employs a clever tactic—deception—to safeguard vital military radars from enemy missile strikes. The system is expected to become an essential part of India’s defence infrastructure.
At its core, the mobile Anti-ARM Decoy system works by mimicking the electromagnetic signature of radar installations. Anti-radiation missiles, which are designed to lock onto radar emissions and neutralize them, get lured away from the real target by the decoy’s false signals. By tricking these missiles into locking onto the decoy instead of the actual radar, the system dramatically reduces the risk of damage to critical radar units, ensuring they remain operational in high-stakes combat situations.
Mounted on a compact, mini-truck platform, the mobile decoy is not just highly effective but also versatile. Its mobility allows it to be quickly deployed or repositioned based on the dynamics of the battlefield, making it a valuable asset in the IAF’s defence strategy. In addition, the decoy’s electromagnetic emissions are powerful enough to convince even the most advanced anti-radiation missiles that they have found their target, enhancing the decoy’s effectiveness against a wide range of missile threats.
According to Bhumi Entech, the induction of a smaller batch of these decoys into the IAF has shown great promise, and the firm is optimistic about securing larger contracts soon. As threats from ARMs continue to grow, the need for such decoy systems is expected to rise significantly. The company anticipates that this system will play a crucial role in protecting radar installations, not just for the IAF but potentially for other armed forces worldwide as well.
What makes this system truly innovative is its simplicity combined with effectiveness. While radar jamming technologies also aim to interfere with missile systems, Bhumi Entech’s approach takes a different path by using deception rather than interference. By creating a convincing false target, the decoy draws the missile away and allows the actual radar to remain functional. This dual benefit of protection and continued operational capability makes the decoy system a game-changer in electronic warfare.
Bhumi Entech's mini-truck-based decoy is also built with resilience in mind. The system is designed to withstand harsh environments and continuous deployment, which is critical for maintaining long-term operational integrity. As modern warfare increasingly relies on electronic systems, the need to protect them is greater than ever. Bhumi Entech’s decoy system offers a smart, cost-effective solution that significantly enhances radar survivability in hostile conditions.
With the successful induction into the IAF, the company is well-positioned to expand its reach and influence in the defence sector. Given the ever-evolving threats from missile technology, systems like Bhumi Entech’s Anti-ARM Decoy could soon become indispensable for modern militaries aiming to protect their radar infrastructure from sophisticated missile attacks.
