Background:The threat of low-observability platforms to civilized nations is one of the key strategic concerns dominating world geopolitics today. Modern strike aircraft can perform attacks at any time of the day or night and in virtually any weather conditions, while cruise missiles can be launched by surprise from air, naval, or land platforms, at national infrastructure from thousands of miles away, menacing bridges, factories, airfields and government facilities alike. Although the threat to mobile assets can be somewhat mitigated through regularly relocating and concealing, fixed infrastructure elements are often difficult to conceal or relocate, and fortifying them is not always practical.
By their nature, low-observability platforms are difficult to detect by conventional radar, rendering air defenses either completely useless, or vastly reducing their response time. In light of this reality, the Serene Power Company has designed and deployed a radar system capable of detecting and tracking low-observability platforms.
Technology: As we all know, ‘stealth’ is a misnomer. The proper name for aircraft and missiles that are difficult to detect through conventional radar is ‘low-observability’. Such aircraft and missiles are designed - in terms of both the physical shape of their bodies and the materials from which they are made and with which they are painted - to minimize their radar signature on radar of certain wavelengths. Radar systems that do not use these wavelengths often have difficulties with detecting the target systems with precision.
This, of course, is where Brahmajala comes in. Named after the goddess Indra’s mythical jewel net with which she ensnared foes and evildoers, the Brahmajala acts as a network of several different radar vehicles - Emerald (UHF), Sapphire (L-Band), and Ruby (X-Band), coordinated through a single command and processing vehicle (Diamond), which is equipped with an IFF interrogator a(though this will not always be of use). The powerful computers on board the Diamond will fuse data inputs from the other radar, enabling tracking of enemy targets.
The radar vehicles themselves can unfold into a fighting position or fold up within ten minutes, a point from which they can communicate by MMW pencilbeam transmitter, or deploy a secure battlefield fiber optic cable. Where necessary, the Brahmajala radar can receive the requisite electric power from their generator, or from any other appropriate source of electric power. Due to the large power output of the radar, it remains somewhat effective when under wide-area jamming (halving detection range).
Crew protection and user comfort: As usual, all vehicles are fully CBRN protected, and capable of operating under all weather conditions. Moreover, due to the well-known scientific evidence of the effects of room temperature on operating effectiveness, all driver and operator compartments are air conditioned.
