DARE developed state-of-the-art Radar Warning Receivers, High accuracy direction finding pods and Airborne Jammers are used across a wide variety of Indian Air Force aircrafts. Over the years, several Radar Warners and Electronic Warfare Systems such as TEMPEST, TARANG and RWR-118 have been developed and inducted successfully by the IAF. RWR system got evolved from the 1st generation Dawn, to the 2nd generation Tranquil in 1994, followed by the 3rd generation TARANG in 2003, the 4th generation R118 in 2010, the 6 Antenna R118 in 2012, the RWR-ESM in 2014 and the Digital RWR DR118 in 2016. The TARANG RWR has salient features such as identifying and intercepting airborne and ground radars. It can be integrated with on-board avionics and weapon systems. Further it has the capability to cue SPJ and CMDS while being flight line programmable. TARANG is a standard warner on all IAF aircrafts.
DARE has gained sufficient expertise and knowledge base through the ongoing projects for the development of EW Suites for LCA, AEW&C, MiG29 and Jaguar DARIN III. DARE has developed UV based Missile Approach Warning Systems for Cheetah and Self Protection Suite for Mi-17 helicopter. DARE has successfully completed the development and evaluation of Dual Color Missile Approach Warning System which is a Passive Missile Approach Warning System utilizing two spectral bands in the Mid Band IR.
DARE has developed Avionics Computers such as Mission Computer, Radar and Display Computers for various aircrafts including TEJAS, Jaguar DARIN-II, MiG27 and the Su-30MKI. DARE has developed a Full Authority Digital Engine Control Unit for Kaveri Engine and flight proven. DARE has also indigenously upgraded MiG27 A/C with modern digital avionics.
In addition to the development of systems, DARE has developed an expertise of installation, integration and testing of the systems on the aircraft. DARE has created many infrastructure and unique test facilities such as Range on Wheels, Indoor Far Field Antenna test Facility, Highly Accelerated Life Testing and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HALT/HASS) and Mobile Multiband EW Simulator System and Engineering cockpit simulator.
DARE is currently developing Full Authority Digital Engine Control Unit for GHATAK engine, Mission Computer for Jaguar DARIN III upgrade, Display Processor-30 for SU30 MKI Enhancement programme and a new generation digital RWR DR118 for installation on any fighter, transport aircraft or helicopter.
