The Sensational Work of Nation's Children

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has more than 17,000 large and small islands that surrounded by vast oceans. This circumstances are not just provide potential wealth to Indonesia but also risk and big problems. In fact, Indonesia is facing many threats and problems due to its geographical position, such as territorial conflicts with neighboring countries, smuggling of natural resources, ship hijacking, and terrorism.

To reduce the problems caused while helping to maximize control and security of the country, Indonesia needs an integrated security system that is applied to the form of radar. During the time, radar technology controlled by foreign parties. For many year, Indonesia get radar from other countries with, of course, very high cost. But not now! At least for the start.

SOLUSI247 together with the RCS-247 radar division (Radar & Communication Systems), successfully launched a national children work in the field of radar technology, a radar which is called INDRA.

The maritime radar 'INDRA' was built with the ability to detect and measure the distance of a ship by using the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology that bring out a sophisticated radar with very low transmit power. Because of that very low transmit power, INDRA could be operated anywhere and will not interfere with other devices in the vicinity.

On October 24, 2008, for the first time, INDRA was tested at Cilegon beach, Banten. In its first appearance, INDRA confirmed its existence as a maritime radar. This is evidenced by its ability to detected and measured accurately the distance of a ship that was sailing in the ocean.
