The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Wednesday transferred a groundbreaking technology to the Indian Navy. Known as the Medium Range-Microwave Obscurant Chaff Rocket (MR-MOCR), this innovation significantly reduces radar detection by creating a microwave shield that obscures radar signals.
Developed by DRDO's Defence Laboratory in Jodhpur, the Microwave Obscurant Chaff (MOC) technology employs special fibers of micron-level diameter to form persistent microwave obscurant clouds in space, offering robust protection against radio frequency threats.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hailed this development as a monumental step towards 'Aatmanirbharta' or self-reliance in defence. He praised the DRDO team's effort in delivering this strategically vital technology swiftly. The MR-MOCR was handed over by DRDO Chairman Samir V Kamat to Rear Admiral Brijesh Vashistha, Director General of Naval Armament Inspection, marking a significant milestone in India's defence capabilities.
