Special type of fibres, with diameter of few microns and unique microwave obscuration properties, have been assembled in the medium range chaff rocket. The rocket, when fired, forms microwave obscurant cloud in space spreading over a sufficient area, with adequate persistence time, thus creating an effective shield against hostile threats having\u00a0Radio Frequency seekers.<\/p>\n
The Phase-I trials of MR-MOCR were successfully conducted from Indian Navy ships, demonstrating the MOC cloud blooming and being persistent in space. In Phase-II trials, the\u00a0Radar Cross Section (RCS) reduction of an aerial target to the extent of 90 per cent has been demonstrated and cleared by the Indian Navy. The number of MR-MOCR, meeting all the qualification requirements, have been successfully handed over to the Indian Navy.<\/p>\n
Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has complimented DRDO and the Indian Navy on the successful development of MR-MOCR. He termed the MOC technology as another step towards achieving Aatmanirbharta in defence.<\/p>\n
The MR-MOCR has been handed over by\u00a0Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO\u00a0Dr Samir V Kamat\u00a0to Director General of Naval Armament Inspection, Indian Navy\u00a0Rear Admiral Brijesh Vashistha.\u00a0The DRDO\u00a0Chairman\u00a0congratulated the Defence Laboratory, Jodhpur team for this significant achievement. The\u00a0Director General of Naval Armament Inspection, Indian Navy\u00a0also applauded the efforts of DRDO for\u00a0indigenously\u00a0developing this strategically-important technology in a short span of time.<\/p>\n
