DRDO Pursues Domestic Laser Beam Rider Guidance Development for Increase Missile Accuracy

Defense News ,India :-  India's Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has made a big step in missile technology. They're looking for companies in India to help develop a new system called Laser Beam Rider Guidance System with an Eye-safe Laser Range Finder (LBRG System with ELRF). This system will help missiles hit targets more accurately.

How the System Works:

The Laser Beam Rider Guidance System is a smart way to guide missiles. It uses a special laser beam to send important signals to the missile while it's flying.

This helps the missile know where it is compared to the beam and steer towards the target. This technology is very important for defense systems, especially for short-range air defense and anti-tank weapons where hitting the target precisely is very important.

Advantages of Laser Beam Rider Systems:

One great thing about the LBRG system is that it can work even when there's bad weather or other things blocking the way like smoke or dust. This is better than other systems that might not work well in bad weather.

Also, the LBRG system uses less power for the laser, which makes it smaller and harder for enemies to detect and stop. This makes it very useful in fast-paced fights.

Components and Capabilities:

The main parts of the LBRG system are the transmitter, a laser range finder, a sight for daytime use, and a module to help the missile find its target.

Together, these parts make sure the missile hits its target accurately from anywhere between 500 to 5000 meters away, covering different types of missions.

Implications for India's Defence:

The LBRG system, with its advanced laser technology, will make India's missiles much better.

It will help them hit targets more accurately and make defense operations stronger, whether it's in regular fights or more unusual battle situations.
