Indian Air Force gets advanced chaff technology developed by DRDO

The Defence Research and Development (R&D) Organisation (DRDO) of India has created an advanced chaff technology to protect the Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter planes from hostile radar threats.

The chaff technology was developed in DRDO's defence laboratory in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, along with High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune.

A minimal quantity of chaff's material installed in the air will work as a decoy to deflect the enemy's missiles and protect the Indian fighter aircraft. The chaff material and chaff cartridge 118/I will help to meet the demand of the IAF. The IAF will induce the technology after successful trials.

The industry has been provided with chaff technology for large quantity production to fulfil the annual rolling requirement of the IAF. On the success of DRDO, IAF, and the aviation department, the Ministry of Defence, Rajnath Sing, said it is another step towards Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Secretary Department of Defence Research and Development, and Chairman of DRDO, Dr G Satheesh Reddy, congratulated on the successful development of the advanced chaff technology, which will strengthen the IAF.

According to the experts, the survival of the fighter aircraft was the major concern because of the advancing technology of the radar threats. To ensure the survival of the aircraft, a Countermeasure Dispensing System (CMDS) is used in the technology to restrict the infrared and radar threats.
