SONOBUOY PROCESSING AND CONTROL SYSTEM
RAJYA SABHA
The project Sonobuoy
Processing and Control System was successfully developed by Defence
Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in Jun 1989. The
technology was transferred to Electronics Corporation of India
Ltd., (ECIL) Hyderabad.
The total development
cost of the project was Rs. 215.03 lakh.
The efficacy and
acceptability of the system has been established through extensive
trials conducted on submarine and various airborne platforms.
The system was cleared for induction in 1991. Production order
for 11 systems has placed on M/s ECIL, Hyderabad.
India has a vast
coastline and many strategic offshore and on shore installations,
the use of Sonobuoys and Processing Systems offers very cost effective
means of underwater surveillance.
