MoD Signs A Rs 3,000 Crore Deal For Made In India Himshakti Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems
DRDO Himshakti Electronic Warfare (EW) System
The Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) for the procurement of two HimShakti Integrated Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems.
The contract is worth Rs 3,000 crore and will be completed in two years.
The EW system is designed and developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in collaboration with its manufacturing partner BEL.
The Himshakti EW system is designed for operations in mountainous terrain, with a specific focus on countering Chinese military threats.
The contract was signed under the Buy Indian-IDDM (Indigenously Designed, Developed, and Manufactured) category.
Furthermore, the system is equipped with a low-power ECM chain and Electro-Optical (EO) Sensor subsystem, enabling it to detect and disrupt enemy communications.
The Himshakti project is anticipated to create job opportunities for around three-lakh man-days and promote private sector involvement in India's defence production sector, in keeping with the government's AtmaNirbharta (Self-Reliant) initiative.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
