Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has developed a complicated HAUSA know-how to guard Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter plane towards hostile radar threats.
The superior sawdust materials and the chaff cartridge-118/I’ve been developed by the DRDO laboratory at Jodhpur, Rajasthan. It was developed in collaboration with the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), a Pune-based laboratory of DRDO, which meets the qualitative necessities of the Indian Air Force.
Chaff is an digital countermeasure approach utilized by armies world wide to guard naval ships, plane or different delicate targets from radar and radio frequency (RF) enemy missile steering programs. Chaff rockets deployed within the air mirror as missile steering programs and a number of targets to deflect opposing missiles, thus defending their belongings.
Meanwhile, IAF has began the method of induction of this know-how after the completion of profitable person trials.

The new know-how is a serious achievement for the Indian Air Force as straw is a crucial protection know-how used to guard fighter plane from hostile radar threats.
“The importance of this technology lies in the fact that the very small amount of straw material deployed in the air acts as a bait to deflect enemy missiles to ensure the safety of fighter aircraft,” the Defense Ministry stated in an announcement.
The know-how has been given to the business for mass manufacturing to fulfill the annual rolling requirement of the Indian Air Force.
Describing it as one other step in the direction of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India), Defense Minister Rajnath Singh lauded DRDO, IAF and business for indigenous growth of know-how.
Earlier in April, DRDO issued a . had developed Similar know-how to naval ships. It had developed three variants of a ‘Chaff rocket’- Short Range Chaff Rocket (SRCR), Medium Range Chaff Rocket (MRCR) and Long Range Chaff Rocket (LRCR) to guard naval ships from guided missile assaults.
The Indian Navy additionally performed all three trials from a warship stationed within the Arabian Sea and located the efficiency passable.
