The project, as per the sources, with participation from Advance Weapon and Equipment India Ltd (AWEIL), will enhance air defence shield against evolving aerial threats.
The new systems will secure the low-level airspace up to 10,000 metres directly above land. This zone is critical in warfare as it is used by the Army’s helicopters, missiles, rockets and artillery and directly impacts the success of ground operations.
In the border areas, towns, villages, schools, hospitals, colleges and religious places also fall within this airspace, making its protection essential, the sources said. (Agencies)
