EMISAT, launched on 1 April 2019, is an Indian reconnaissance satellite under Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) project Kautilya which is a package that provides space-based electronic signal intelligence or ELINT. The spacecraft helps in improving the situational awareness of the Indian Armed Forces as it will provide information and location of enemy radars. The ELINT payload is developed by Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL), while augmented Indian Mini Satellite-2 (IMS-2) platform is provided by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The capabilities of the Kautilya package is highly classified. It monitors radio signals to determine the location and source of all transmission.
