India’s state-run Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) is developing a software-driven radio (SDR) set for India’s armed forces. Able to function at any frequency, the SDR is lightweight, easy to operate and cost-effective, the company says.

Different radio sets are now being used, depending on very high-frequency, ultra-high-frequency, high-frequency and L-band needs. BEL says the SDR would revolutionize communications on the battlefield.
