The very short-range air defence system (VSHORADS), developed by DRDO to neutralise low-altitude aerial threats at ranges up to 6-km, "should be offered for user trials to the armed forces by April-May", a senior defence official told TOI. "The indigenously-developed 4th generation VSHORADS is technically superior to existing MANPADS (man-portable air defence systems) in the Indian armed forces because it has a state-of-the-art uncooled imaging infrared seeker," he said. VSHORADS offer a low-cost option that can swiftly be deployed for close air defence protection of crucial assets in rugged high-altitude areas as well as in the maritime domain.
