DRDO's IRDE is developing an ultra-wide field telescope array for tracking objects in orbit, with an industry partner building the optics under IRDE's design review.
▶️ Each system pairs four 250 mm off-axis reflective telescopes, f/1.64 with a field of view of at least 12 degrees and a dichroic split between visible-NIR and SWIR, with two 50 mm refractive telescopes covering 48 degrees or more.
▶️One prototype and one functional unit are planned, with delivery at 18 and 24 months from contract. A 250 mm aperture at f/1.64 across a 12 degree flat field is a demanding optical design, and it points to India building its own wide-area search layer for space surveillance.

He refers the matter to the Defence Ministry for specifics.
He also added: As we have noted in the past, the situation in the India-China border areas gets disturbed from time to time when Chinese forces diverge from established patrolling patterns.
Both sides continue to use existing diplomatic and military mechanisms to resolve outstanding issues and avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation along the Line of Actual Control.
The two sides have also agreed to discuss ways to improve understanding of LAC in appropriate areas for better border management.
I would also like to emphasise that the maintenance of peace and tranquility in the border areas is essential for the overall development of bilateral relations”.
