Indian AESA Radar Developments
- Thread starter ni8mare
- Start date
I don't remember maybe around 700+ I guess for mk1.
It's there in ADA interview, I also posted it somewhere.
Above tweet smaller/ lighter seems odd.
Indranil had given many infos regarding mk2 improvements over mk1.
Why even though radome diameter is reduced radar has higher TRM + reduces drag.
Radar circumference is closer to radome. Etc.
Somewhere reposition er also mentioned in tender.
So an MK1A will be used as test bed ?
The one on the f15 use GaAs and has around 1500 trm. Hardware quality-wise the mk 2 is ahead but I doubt our software is anywhere near that good. Plus the ones on ex can use their radar to do jamming similar to the f-35. The true comparison can only be done with the uttam variant that the sukhoi's will get.
UTTAM AESA updates
So license Manufacturing also require minimum orders but at the cost of Indigenous weapon. Dalals BC
UTTAM AESA updates
Licence manufacturing always require minimum order. If we wait for UTTAM to mature it would delay 1A program. No need to put it on dalals.
Why HAl gets it? Astra Microwave or some other would have been better? This L1 bid process need a reviewing with capability as major contributing factor. Could even make 2 separate companies make the radar ie ToT to both and see which perform better? I read somewhere that Astra Microwave now make GaN based stuff.
Is there any separate sub system thread about our indigenous progress with seeker development & mfg? In previous defexpos there
were several interesting seekers shown. This is a vital component.

Beautiful, hope to see in action soon.
