Q. The primary function of the UNICORN (Unified Complex Radio Antenna) system being co-developed by India and Japan is to:

[A] Provide advanced aerial combat capabilities to fighter jets

[B] Serve as a missile defence system for ground forces

[C] Improve the stealth characteristics of naval platforms

[D] Enhance ground surveillance capabilities for land troops

Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation – The UNICORN system is designed to integrate communication systems on naval warships. It enhances their stealth capabilities by minimizing their radar cross-section by making them harder to detect by enemy radar. Once implemented, this will mark Japan’s first export of defense technology to India, following the 2015 bilateral agreement on defense equipment and technology transfer.
