Indian Navy To Establish 2nd VLF Radar Station In Parigi

The Indian Navy has been planning to locate a low-frequency radar station strategically within the heavily forested area surrounding the Damagundam temple in Parigi, Telangana. The program is crucial to India’s Navy’s broader effort to boost capabilities by locating Very Low-Frequency (abbreviated VLF) radar stations nationwide.

The VLF radar project gained momentum with the launch of INS Kattabomman, a VLF transmission station in Vijayanarayanam, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. The successful deployment of the first-ever station reflected the Navy’s commitment and dedication to using low-frequency radio waves to communicate with submarines and ships. Even though the Tamil Nadu station is set up and running, obstacles popped up in the way of the well-planned second VLF station based in Telangana.

Despite the obstacles, the Navy has decided that the wooded region surrounding the Damagundam temple in Parigi is perfect for the new low-frequency radar station. This action aligns with the Navy’s goal of enhancing communication with marine assets by applying state-of-the-art radar technology.

Low-frequency radio waves are significant to offer reliable and long-distance communication, especially when dealing with subs that operate under the ocean’s surface.
