DRDO's Photonic Radar: AMCA Mk2 to Get X-Ray Vision, Outclass Rafale, F-35
- •DRDO is developing revolutionary photonic radar technology for India's indigenous AMCA Mk2 fighter jet.
- •This advanced radar uses lasers and optical fibers, providing ultra-high-definition imaging and precise tracking capabilities.
- •It offers significant advantages, including superior detection of stealth aircraft, strong resistance to electronic jamming, and detailed enemy aircraft identification.
- •The technology is planned for phased integration, aiming for full deployment in AMCA Mk2 by the mid-2030s.
- •Photonic technology also paves the way for "smart skin" and multi-functional sensor networks, reducing aircraft weight and electromagnetic interference.
