Structural Support
The Aarudhra provides a stable, level structural platform for the IFF antenna and associated electronic units, maintaining precise platform leveling accuracy of less than 0.5 degrees across varied terrain conditions using its quadripod base and integrated leveling system.
Remote Monitoring & Control
All electrical and data interfaces are routed through an integrated rotary joint and slip ring assembly, enabling full remote monitoring and control of IFF radar operation without cable winding constraints across continuous antenna rotation.
Controlled Antenna Rotation
The pedestal rotates the mounted IFF antenna assembly at programmable rotational speeds between 12 and 30 rpm in azimuth, with azimuth accuracy of plus or minus 0.1 degrees and a readout accuracy of plus or minus 0.01 degrees, providing the precise, consistent antenna scan rotation that IFF radar operation demands.
