KOCHI: As many as 19 Chinese surveillance satellites are monitoring the Indian waters as the region is emerging as one of the world’s most strategic areas in the 21st century, secretary to defence minister and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) director-general Avinash Chander said here on Wednesday.
Chander said India needed to create capabilities to counter or neutralize the information that is being transmitted through these satellites. “We need to develop technologies to monitor our waters in all the three dimensions,” he said while inaugurating a symposium on ocean electronics ( Sympol-2013) organized by the centre for ocean electronics, Cochin University of Science and Technology.
India will need 80-100 satellites that can be deployed in formation within hours or in a day. “It is time to revisit our surveillance strategies. The West is, of course, more advanced,” he said.
Chander said maritime domain awareness, providing seamless coverage of areas of interest that demands intelligent synergy among many platforms like unmanned aerial vehicles, space-based indigenous navigational systems and communication satellites for real-time multi-mode information was the need of the hour. “We need to develop deep-sea sonar that operates in extreme ocean depths, in the so-called ‘deep sound channel’, to detect quiet enemy submarines from thousands of miles,” he said.
The DRDO is funding research in underwater technologies for capability and manpower development though naval research boards and academic institutions, he said.
Perhaps you beg your chinki overlords to loan you a satellite or two?
I see a bit of jealousy and envy in this article. Perhaps if your economy wasn’t as sh*t as it is – maybe you could afford a few satellites as well.
Maybe a Halal Satellite for looking at donkey p0rn
only someone with an insecure mind lie yours will see jealousy in this. shows how pathetic u really are
Don’t psychoanalyse me dipsh*t. Find the evidence I asked you to find and prove that you’re not brainwashed
asked me? AHAHA what evidence have YOU ever asked ME for? i’ve given all the evidence i need to prove my claims. go through the archives if u want to see the evidence so bad. of course ure dimwitted paid shill so i don’t expect u to do that.
what do they (rattys) want surveillance for, there is only human refuse or half burnt bodies that the chitta operators dump as soon as the relatives of the dead rat leaves the ghats.
