The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) delivered the Medium Range-Microwave Obscurant Chaff Rocket (MR-MOCR) to the Indian Navy.
Microwave Obscurant Chaff (MOC) technology has been developed by the DRDO’s Defence Laboratory in Jodhpur.
Microwave Obscurant Chaff (MOC) technology obscures radar signals and creates a microwave shield around platforms and assets.
After the rocket was fired, it forms a microwave obscurant cloud in space.
It creates an effective shield against hostile threats having radio frequency seekers.
The first phase trials of MR-MOCR were successfully conducted on Indian Navy ships.
In the second phase trials, the Radar Cross-Section (RCS) reduction of an aerial target to the extent of 90 per cent has been demonstrated and cleared by the Indian Navy.
