Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Cherat, Dera Ismail Khan, Quetta, Gwadar, and Lahore will receive the five fixed surveillance radars, while Karachi currently has a working radar station.

Nationwide deployment of 300 automatic weather stations and three portable radars is also planned. There will be 35 stations in Punjab, 85 in Sindh, including Karachi, 75 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and 105 in Balochistan.
