Boosting the aerial surveillance capabilities of the security forces, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Tuesday successfully demonstrated its indigenously designed and developed aerostat system in Agra.
Once fully developed, the Rs 20-crore system would be capable of carrying out surveillance in the radius of 110 km at the height of one kilometre, DRDO's Aerial Delivery and Research Development Organisation director Balraj Gupta said.
The demonstration of the Aerostat systems was done with its communication intelligence and electro optical sensors and the indigenous development of radars is also under progress, he said.
