Divyachakshu (Divyachakshu: Divine Eye) is a Through Barrier Imaging Radar, developed by Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE), a Bengaluru-based DRDO lab in India. Divyachakshu is designed to be capable of scanning through walls and is expected to help the Indian Armed Forces in conducting hostage rescue operations.[1][2][3][4][5]
Description
The device was developed by Electronics and Radar Development Establishment of the DRDO. The radar is capable of looking into walls 20–30 cm thick, besides other material. It produces images from the other side of the barrier up to a distance of 20 meters. It tracks heat on the other side of the wall and gives real time thermal image which in turn discloses whatever is happening inside the room.[1][2]
The radar gives out real-time thermal images that can be used in hostage rescue operations. A lighter version of the device is also being worked on. Presently, the device weighs 6–7 kg.[1][2][3]
Development and Trials
The development of the radar began in the wake of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, with the formal sanction coming in 2010.[1] The device costs ₹35 lakhs, in contrast to the alternatives available elsewhere, which cost at least ₹2 crore.[1][2][3] The DRDO plans to sell these to the Indian Army, the BSF, and paramilitary forces. Currently, the radar is undergoing development trails which are expected to conclude by the end of 2016.[1][2][3]
