India to develop Next Generation Long Range radars for BMD interceptors that can differentiate decoys from actual warheads
India has already deployed Long-Range Ballistic Missile Defense radar systems to track ballistic missile launches and their re-entry but the adversaries can potentially overwhelm India’s defenses with multiple decoy launches.
In order to counter this issue, India is currently developing a new set of long-range discrimination radar systems that will be capable of tracking incoming missiles while differentiating between lethal warheads from decoys.
The new radar system will result in improved tracking of decoys which will allow for the launch of interceptors only at warheads.
The development of these radars is still in its early stages and will be ready for trials by 2027.
