Defence Electronics Applications Laboratory (DEAL) is working on communication and surveillance systems based on software and cognitive techniques, satellite phones/miniaturised satcom terminals for futuristic satellites, data links for AEW&C and UAVs, high data rate VLF receiver, static and mobile tropo communication systems, underwater laser communication technologies and MM wave fencing.
Core competence of the DEAL are software-defined radios, LOS and BLOS (Satcom) Data Links for UAVs, AEWC&S platforms, satellite communication and network management systems, VLF communication systems, troposcatter communication systems, millimetre-wave and microwave communication systems, meteor burst communication systems, image intelligence environment, data fusion systems, 2D-3D visualization and change detection.
DEAL also has a facility for reception, processing and dissemination of high-resolution satellite imagery. Project development activities are ably supported by facilities like Technical Information Center, CAD, Precision Workshop, MIC Lab, EMI/EMC Lab, Antenna Test Range, Environmental Test Facility & Quality Assurance, DEAL has been providing communication support to Indian Antarctic Expedition and during disaster/natural calamities
