Yaaaa hoo.... Indian pvt. company rocks !!! This is exactly what
self proclaimed defence think tanks and experts have been saying for years that given a chance Indian pvt. sector will chew DRDO and PSU's for breakfast and shit them out by night. Wonderful development no !!!!
WRONG !!! Please follow the rest of the post carefully now.
At first it struck me that a company which wasn't heard till now has suddenly come up with a world beating radar (regarding the bird tracking one) which even the western countries who are at a totally different technological plane w.r.t. us don't have !!! So I started digging, let's have a dekkho at the company "OIS Advanced Technology".
For starters the term OIS stands for "Offset India Solutions". Hmm, a company which poses as an OEM has "Offset" in it's name !!! In the company's site under the
Partners section we have
Offset India Solutions is engaged in providing advisory and project management services to the OEMs in respect of their offset obligations. It conceives, designs, guides, shapes and delivers offset related projects and solutions. It has a team of domain experts from the armed forces, industry and policy makers including skilled projet managers.
In short OIS aims for nothing but playing second fiddle to western OEM's. Also note the "team of domain experts" has no mention of anything remotely associated with engineering strength which would have shown the strong design credentials it indirectly claims it has. So the next logical thing that comes to mind is
Where the FAQ did this company come from ???

First
OIS Aerospace
The OIS Group announced a strategic partnership between its newly-launched company OIS AeroSpace, which will primarily undertake aircraft and components manufacturing, aircraft maintenance and upgradation, and Magnaghi Aeronautica of Italy.
“Under the partnership, we intend to market and sell Magnaghi Aeronautica’s Sky Arrow ultra-light high-wing aircraft in the Indian market,” Sareen said, adding that a strategic alliance with Gemilli, also from Italy, was in place, for introducing the latter’s noise-control and self-protecting technologies in India.
Second and the most important "partner"

The MicroMet-ATI site also has a huge
product gallery obviously showing their strength in developing military hardware through decades of research (even though the bloody company came into existence on 15 November 2010 onlee !!!).
So these two India companies were formed within the timespan of six-seven months. Shri Sanjay Bhandari is director of both of these companies, the Bhandari miya biwi being the directors of OIS AT.
This Indian company has such strong R&D base spanning over decades that it is giving technological support to another Indian company which itself has decades worth of radar R&D in it's kitty or something like that. Beautiful no !!! (Phun Game: Spot the difference between the product range of Micromet and Micromet ATI.
AGAIN WRONG !!!
Let's now delve into the genesis of
Micromet
Welcome to MicroMet Group - A single source supplier of a complete range of Meteorological Systems like Radar Wind Profilers, Doppler Weather Radars, Sonic Anemometers, AWS, and other
Met Sensors. MicroMet Group comprises of autonomous companies specializing in the Meteorological and Environmental fields, serving customers world wide.
1. MicroMet Group (UK)
2. MicroMet (USA)
3. MicroMet-ATI (INDIA)
MICROMET is one of the leading companies for the supply of Environmental Systems, Defence Systems Industrial Systems, and Marine Systems. The company has specialist divisions, supplying products in the following fields:
1. Environmental and Meteorological Systems
2. Defence & Industrial Systems
Ahh so a britshit company is behind all the "technological superiority" behind the Indian companies. Wait what is this innocent thing on the company's website hain ji ??? Holy shit this can't be true !!! An Indian system developed through decades of R&D by Indian designers is
stolen by britshits and being claimed as their own !!!
Bird Hits and risks posed by Bird –Aircraft collisions are all too well known to aviators. Avian related accidents cause billions of dollars of losses every year in addition to the tragic loss of life as a result of such accidents. It is estimated that hundreds of lives have been lost over the years as a result of accidents caused due to birds striking civilian and military aircrafts. Radars have been successfully used to detect Avian activity over the years. MicroMet offers a full range of radar based solutions for bird-aircraft collision avoidance, aircraft tracking, and site security & intrusion detection. MicroMet's systems enable the user to:
• Detect
• Deter
• Monitor
Birds in and around Airports and other sites where the presence of birds can be dangerous. MicroMet’s Avian Detection and Deterrence systems can be used at Airports, space installations, wind farms, military bombing sites, and for bird migratory studies. A truly valuable tool in the fight against risks posed by birds to human activity.
BASHRAD™ - the MicroMet bird-aircraft strike hazard avoidance radar system is perhaps the most advanced technology available for Bird-Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) management, detection and tracking of hazardous bird activity at various sites including civilian and military airports, wind farms, and for environmental and bird migratory surveys. Developed by Radar specialists with decades of Radar experience the MicroMet BASHRAD™ Bird-Aircraft Collision Avoidance Radar systems include highly reliable, advanced and proven radar technologies. When used in combination with the proven Bird Deterrence technologies and systems, BASHRAD™ offers a comprehensive solution to the problems related to Avian activities.
If you go to the OIS-AT site and read carefully about their "
Bird Detection Radar" you will see that the description is very much influenced by the BASHRAD system. Yeah the term 3D doesn't figure in the BASHRAD system but they claim it to be the most advanced technology available for this class of radar. Whose claims do you want to believe ??? That of the Indian front company or the parent one providing all the technical know how ???
Still believe that an Indian company which came into existence just a few years ago came up with the most advanced bird avoidance/detection/tracking/deterring radar ??? Take a look at the system being offered by OIS AT
Take a look at the
antenna in the above pic and spot the difference between it and the one offered by the britshit parent company (scroll down, extreme right) and also
BASHRAD™ is available in mobile and fixed configurations to suit all applications. The mobile models are mounted on trailers with all the associated computer equipment installed in the environment controlled trailer cabin.
Regarding other claims of the Indian company you are free to roam in the products section of the parent Micromet company and find for yourself about "indigenous" Indian radars. Don't forget to check
A PROPOSED ADVANCED DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR NETWORK FOR INDIA to see advanced "indigenous" solutions being proposed by our hard working pvt. firms.
Almost forgot about
AVAANA, their site is under maintenance so we won't get the privilege to see more "indigenous" systems but don't worry the site will be back soon and then you can feast your eyes on "Indian developed systems".
Conclusion: The hierarchy here is Micromet Group > Micromet ATI > OIS AT, basically an Indian front for pedalling britshit tech. It will be very interesting to find out how OIS AT owns the IP of the systems it claims to have developed in a span of 4 yrs. If it's too good to be true it ain't !!! There are pvt. companies who are working hard to develop indigenous solutions even after taking losses in doing the same but this fraud OIS AT ain't one of them.
If anyone still believes that OIS AT has developed these systems then please look forward to me flying down AMCA SP1 in AI-15.
