The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) developed the Medium Range-Microwave Obscurant Chaff Rocket (MR-MOCR) and delivered it to the Indian Navy. This technology, developed by DRDO’s Jodhpur lab, creates a microwave obscurant cloud in space to protect against threats equipped with radio frequency seekers. The rocket's effectiveness in reducing radar detection was validated through Phase-I and Phase-II trials conducted on Indian Navy ships, demonstrating its strategic significance in naval operations.
