Swathi Mountains: A Compact Weapon Locating Radar
The Indian Army has newly incorporated "Swathi Mountains," a lighter and more compact version of the indigenous Weapon Locating Radar (WLR-M), developed by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in Bengaluru. This radar system is instrumental to military operations, specifically in challenging terrains. The WLR autonomously detects and tracks hostile artillery, mortars, and rocket launchers adding precision to artillery strikes by identifying and tracking small projectiles, accurately predicting launch and impact points depending on environmental conditions, and is mobile and swiftly deployable. Unique attributes of the Swathi Mountains WLR include the adaptability to challenging mountainous terrains, advanced detection and tracking capabilities, accurate trajectory estimations, and data storage and communication features for post-mission analysis, strategic planning, and real-time updates.
