As the world leader in test range solutions for more than 40 years, we have advanced the concept of multi-object tracking radar with an innovative application to meet current test range requirements. The iMOTR features enhanced clutter suppression capabilities to provide clearer and more accurate assessments of the object launch path and flight path data on airborne and low-flying objects. This tracking information can be transferred to other radars or sensors in real time. The system is also better equipped to provide accurate time, space and position information (TSPI) data for multiple objects in flight in a broader field of respect than current test radars in service.
ISRO's built-in multi-object tracking (MOTR) radar will be tested shortly during a PSLV launch. It is expected that the commissioning of the radar will be carried out a few months after the tests. This is a great achievement for ISRO and a significant boost to the 'Make in India' effort. Only five countries have the capability to build such a radar system. Another pen at the top of ISRO is the cost at which it was built; ISRO took only Rupees 245 million rupees to build it, while it would have cost the nation around Rupees 800 million rupees if such a radar were imported from abroad. The software for the radar was also developed internally. It is a stationary radar that measures 12 meters long and 8 meters high (rectangular). Some 4608 T / R modules populate the rectangular array and the beam, which is electronically directed, can scan 10 objects at a time.
