Notes: During Operation Sindoor, India deployed the AI-enabled X-Guard Fibre-Optic Towed Decoy (FOTD) system to enhance fighter aircraft survivability against hostile radar and missile threats. The X-Guard Fibre-Optic Towed Decoy (FOTD) system was developed by Israel. It is manufactured by the Israeli defense firm Rafael Advanced Defence Systems. It is retractable, reusable, and mimics a Rafale aircraft’s radar signature, doppler velocity, and electronic countermeasures across multiple radar bands. The system provides 360-degree jamming capability and integrates with the Rafale’s SPECTRA (Self-Protection Equipment Countering Threats to Rafale Aircraft) electronic warfare suite.
