• This achievement comes through the introduction of the SWATHI Mountains, a compact and lighter version of the Weapon Locating Radar (WLR-M). 
• Developed domestically by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in Bengaluru, this cutting-edge radar system is tailor-made for operations in mountainous and high-altitude regions, addressing the distinct challenges presented by such terrains.
