In a significant boost to India's Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission, Visakhapatnam Airport (VTZ) now operates with an upgraded, indigenous surveillance radar developed by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). Installed strategically on Dolphin Hill by INS Dega, the new radar promises continuous, high-precision monitoring, bolstering Air Traffic Management (ATM) capabilities at one of India’s key coastal airports.
This state-of-the-art radar, a milestone in India’s journey towards technological self-reliance, enhances surveillance over the region and aligns with modern standards in air traffic control. The radar's indigenous design not only strengthens national security but also reduces dependence on imported technology, showcasing India’s growing expertise in advanced defense and aviation infrastructure.
The deployment marks an important achievement for INS Dega, the naval air station overseeing VTZ airport operations. This upgrade aims to improve real-time tracking and coordination, ensuring safer skies over the Visakhapatnam coastline.
The installation of this radar stands as a testament to India's commitment to self-sufficiency in defense and infrastructure technology, reinforcing national capabilities with homegrown innovation.(PR)
