  • The radar has been designed and developed by the Defence Geo-informatics and Research Establishment (DGRE).
  • DGRE is a one-of-its-kind laboratory which is involved in forecasting and mitigation of avalanche hazards, under the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) and was established in 2020 by merging the Snow & Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE) and Defence Terrain Research Laboratory (DTRL).
