The six Swathi Weapon Locating Radars (WLRS), which are being acquired at a cost of around Rs 400 crore, will help the force to know the exact location of artillery guns fired by the enemy.

In a major success for ‘Make in India’ in the defence sector, the Indian Army is set to get six Swathi Weapon Locating Radars (WLRS), indigenously built by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The six WLRS, which are being acquired at a cost of around Rs 400 crore, will help the force to know the exact location of artillery guns fired by the enemy, top government sources told India Today TV.

The proposal is expected to come up for approval by the Defence Acquisition Council at an important meeting which is slated to take place on Tuesday.

Discussions over the acquisition of several important weapon systems, including shipborne UAVs from Israel, are also likely to be held in the meeting.
