The coating has been designed for military environments where radar absorption must be combined with mechanical strength and resistance to operational conditions. DRDO’s technical documentation identifies applications involving airborne and land-based defence platforms, particularly those requiring reduced radar reflections from selected surfaces.
Senior officials from the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Assam Rifles and the state administration participated in the meeting. The Governor assessed the project’s progress and discussed measures to improve coordination among agencies involved in securing the international border.

India’s development of directed-energy weapons predates the announcement of its 300 kW ambitions. DRDO has conducted research on high-energy lasers, electro-optical technologies, target acquisition and specialised systems for countering aerial threats.
The initiative represents an opportunity to evaluate technologies that combine early threat detection, automated warning and defensive smoke deployment. Such systems can improve the protection of tanks operating in environments where laser rangefinders, target designators and precision-guided anti-armour weapons present significant threats.
The R-59 procurement initiative follows DRDO’s Development-cum-Production Partner model, which encourages industrial participation during weapon system development rather than waiting until a system is ready for manufacturing.
The Improved Low Level Light Weight Radar is designed to detect and track aerial targets operating in the low-altitude environment. According to the Ministry of Defence, the system can detect fighter-sized targets as well as mini and micro drones.
