Defence Cluster's Passive Radar for Air Traffic Control is a class of radar that makes use of third-party illuminators. For example, public broadcasting services such as frequency modulation radio, to illuminate an aircraft(s) of interest and subsequently locate and track these aircrafts by processing the signals reflected from the aircraft.

Given the absence of a dedicated transmitter subsystem in passive radar systems, it serves as a cost-effective radar solution that requires no spectrum licensing, consumes significantly less power, requires minimal equipment and has reduced maintenance.

CSIR Defence and Security develops strategic technologies and capabilities for air, land, sea and cyber defence and security, and delivers integrated solutions for the private, public and civil sectors.

The CSIR has developed a multi-purpose modular pod that can be integrated with a fast jet aircraft for a variety of uses in training, test and evolution, as well as prototype payload development. The Inundu pod was designed to provide a protected environment for prototypes or unqualified payloads against the harsh airborne environment.
