SARANG is anAdvanced ESM System indigenously developed by DLRL for installation on Kamov 31 Helicopters of Indian Navy.
It’s salient features are as follows:
The primary Mission and Display functions of UMC are as follows:
The ESM system can be used to intercept, detect& identifies Air /Ground/Ship borne Radar emissions including short duration transmissions from submarines in B-K frequency band. The ESM system is Wide Open in frequency & space, facilitating high probability of intercept (100%). The high sensitivity, high DF accuracy and accurate signal parameters measurements facilitates to intercept and identify the emitters deep inside hostile territory. The system can be used to accurately location fix of intercepted emitters.
COMINT & ELINT Payloads for UAV is a Size Weight and Power (SWaP) optimized & SOFT qualified SIGINT System indigenously designed and developed for installation and operation on TAPAS UAV.
Salient Features:
The ELINT & COMINT Payload onboard UAV is a prime sensor for Signal Intelligence Gathering in reconnaissance missions to form Electronic Order of Battle (EoB) of enemy. With high sensitivity and better parameter accuracies the system can intercept, detect, classify and identify land, sea and airborne radar emitters and communication emitters with very good localization accuracies. Being on UAV the system can operate in anti-access zones and where conventional platforms cannot be deployed. Having High endurance the system can work for long time and collect data for extended times and can covers the area of interest multiple times. The system works with other sensors and the SIGINT data will be supplemented to operate the other sensors in special mission scenarios and multiple sensor data fusion.
ESM Payload for surveillance platforms is a Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) optimized, qualified system indigenously designed and developed for installation and operation on surveillance Aircrafts.
Salient Features:
The ESM sensor for Electronic Intelligence Gathering in reconnaissance missions to form Electronic Order of Battle (EoB) of enemy.

Exciter Receiver Processor is the Core ECM unit of Indigenous Advanced Self Protection Jammer(ASPJ) POD for Combat Platforms
ESM Payload for AEW&C Mk-I is a Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) optimized, qualified system indigenously designed and developed for installation and operation on Embraer Aircraft.
Digital RWR payload is indigenously designed, developed & qualified for installation on surveillance and Combat platforms
Salient Features:
The RWR for surveillance and combat platforms shall detect, locate and identify the threat radar signals in the environment and shall alert the pilot regarding the same.
5-18 GHz Transmit/Receive (TR) Module is the key component for the active phased array for Electronic Warfare applications. To design miniaturized, compact, lightweight TR Module, two-chip solution (Core Chip & TR chip) has been adopted. This drastically reduces number of MMICs, wire bonds and interconnections. GaAs Core Chip consists of integration of Digital Phase Shifter, Digital Attenuator, Switches, Amplifiers along with SIPO (Serial-In Parallel-Out) and regulated power supply required for all the RF functions. GaN TR chip consists of Power Amplifier, LNA and high-Power Switch.
This product has the following features:
Planar array antenna for multifunction EW is a state-of-the-art technology for realizing ESM and ECM functions from common aperture. Body of Revolution Vivaldi antenna is an innovative design to meet this requirement. It is basically a three dimensional Vivaldi antenna with air dielectric. It has rotational symmetry in both the planes and hence gives almost similar beam width in both the principal planes and does not require any additional matching circuit behind the array. The antenna structure is made of complete metal without array dielectric material and realized using CNC machining techniques. BoR antenna is most favourable element for planar array due to ease of assembly and disassembly of the array element and connectors.
