BFSR-SR

The BFSR-SR is a 2D short range Battle Field Surveillance Radar, meant to be manportable. The radar was designed and developed by LRDE, a DRDO unit, and manufactured by BEL. The project was a systematic example of concurrent engineering, with the production agency involved through the design and development stage. This enabled the design to be brought into production quickly. Other features were the high amount of involvement of the private sector, which LRDE maintained throughout the project. Private firms supplied the rotational assembly and tripod, the Control and display unit as well as electronics assemblies after design and technology transfer by LRDE. This has continued into the substantial production run. The radar continues to progress further in terms of integration, with newer variants being integrated with thermal imagers for visually tracking targets detected by the radar. The Indian Army placed an order for 1176 radars at a price of Rs. 551 crore. [http://finance.indiainfo.com/news/2005/02/08/0802aerobel.html BEL begins export of Radars to Indonesia & Sudan] ]
