Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) revealed a scale model of its Ground Based Very-Ultra High Frequency (GBVU) Communication Jammer on January 20, 2026, in Bangalore, India. The system is designed to intercept, monitor, and jam communication signals within the 30-1,000 MHz range, while also providing range and bearing information for targeting by friendly units.

BEL is delivering the system to the Indian Air Force (IAF) as part of a contract worth INR 19.84 billion (USD 216 million) for specialized systems and electronic warfare platforms, announced in June 2023. The jammed system is mounted on a domestically produced Ashok Leyland Stallion truck and is integrated into the IAF's Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS). Deliveries are ongoing, but the exact number of units under contract remains confidential.
