The public sector company has developed a software defined radio system (SDR). The system is the future of communication technologies and is expected to largely shape the net-centric warfare in the years ahead.
The Union Minister of State for Defence, Jitendra Singh, inaugurated the SDR facility at HAL’s Strategic Electronic Research Design Centre (SLRDC) at Hyderabad today.
The minister had hands on feel of the system when he experienced the communication between SDRs. Speaking on the occasion, Singh also welcomed HAL initiated indigenous development of Softnet Radio for Airborne Communication and Net Centric Warfare.
Explaining the significance of the development R. K. Tyagi, Chairman, HAL said “The system will reduce our dependency on foreign suppliers in the critical technology needs. It is based on open architecture with fully configurable software”.
