BEL is setting up a chain of Remote Sensor Stations along the coastline of India as part of the coastal radar network. Static sensors such as Radars, VHF Communication Systems, Electro optic sensors and Meteorological Sensors are installed at these Remote Sensor Stations to monitor the coastline. Electro Optic sensors provide visual detection and identification of targets. VHF Communication System is provided for communication with the targets at sea. Information from multiple radars and information from other sensors like Automatic Identification Systems are correlated to provide a composite operating picture at operating centres.
A cluster of Remote Sensor Stations are linked to Remote Operating Stations, enabling transfer of real-time data. The Remote Operating Stations are linked to Regional Operating Centres, which in turn are connected to the Control Centre (CC).
The Network Centric coastal radar network developed by BEL provides total scalable surveillance solution. The system presents the complete surveillance scenario on digital maps at a centralised Command Centre where the information is processed and archived. The system can also be used as an aid for search and rescue operations. The control centres provide the operator with all the required capabilities to remotely control the sensors on the network, present the tactical situation assessment picture, support mission planning such as interception, search and rescue and meet any user specific requirements.
