Which threat is the LLLR(I) radar mainly intended to help the Indian Army counter?
- A.Ballistic missiles
- B.Submarines
- C.Unmanned Aerial Systems
- D.Cyber intrusions
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Unmanned Aerial Systems. The radar is able to detect and track targets of fighter aircraft size as well as mini and micro drones, and it can also prioritise aerial targets, which together allow the Army to counter the threat posed by unmanned aerial systems. Option A is wrong because the release does not present this equipment as a ballistic missile defence sensor; its stated strength lies in low level aerial surveillance. Option B is wrong because submarines are an undersea threat handled by naval sonar and maritime patrol assets, not by a light weight ground radar. Option D is wrong because cyber intrusions are countered by network defences and not by a radar, which is a sensor for detecting objects flying in the air.
