These radios will enhance secure and dependable communication for the Coast Guard. With high-speed data and secure voice channels, they will improve teamwork and situational awareness.

This upgrade will strengthen the Coast Guard’s ability to carry out key duties such as enforcing maritime laws, protecting fisheries, conducting search and rescue missions, and safeguarding the marine environment. Moreover, the new radios will facilitate better coordination with the Indian Navy during joint operations.

Recently, Bharat Electronics also announced reaching a milestone by manufacturing its 7,000th transmit/receive (T/R) module for the RBE2 radar as part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative. This module was delivered to Thales.
