Dear Parthu
Its 30,000 km AREA which would be 175 km X 175 km approx, and that is within 15 minutes.
It should be very much possible, he did not say 30,000 km range
Cheers

30,000 km?
This is not an AWACS/AEW plane. The purpose of an AEW is for the most part to generate a situation picture of the airspace out to a long range, and assisting the Air Force in securing and managing that airspace with their L/S-band long-wavelength radars. The DRDO-made Netra AEW radar can scan targets at over 475 km in extended range mode. Logical to assume the Phalcon can see farther.

^^ That is what a typical AEW situation picture looks like, not that different from an Air Traffic Control (ATC) screen, with data such as position vectors, aircraft identification, speed of targets etc. being constantly monitored -

The purpose of an ISTAR aircraft such as the Sentinel, on the other hand, is mostly collecting ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) of ground targets, movement of troops or locations & elevation models of stationary buildings or natural formations like mountains etc. ISTAR planes (including the Sentinel and ARC's Global 5000s) are generally equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR), and the data they collect is of a different nature -

This is not to say AEWs cannot look at ground targets or that ISTAR planes cannot scan the sky, but to say that its not their intended role.

India to get 3 ISTAR aircraft under ₹6,000-crore indigenous project
The decision to go for an indigenous ISTAR comes after the air force cleared the acquisition of more indigenous 'Netra' early warning and control aircraft to its fleet. As reported, six additional aircraft are planned to be acquired by the air force as part of a $1 billion plan to add force...
So, its official. Airforce is ditching imports. Thats a big bet considering only few countries make such aircrafts.India to get 3 ISTAR aircraft under ₹6,000-crore indigenous project

Haramkhor iaf deliberately released open tender so that adani could participate.
Whole game is rigged, now we all know who will be the L1.
What do you mean “deliberately” ? They won because they are L1, meaning least expensive for the tax payer. Everything should be tendered if possible for best results.
We should be thankful that private industry is taking such risks and giving healthy competition to DPSUs.
They are just rebranding Israeli maal if cost is always taken in factor then many indigenous systems will never get orders.
Foreign systems enjoy economies of scale.
Drdo is already developing indigenous istar they should be given full commitment.
Moreover adani is just exploiting the loop holes of iddm criteria .
No its not. They are integrator for the DRDO programs in the case of AWACS. You and mixing and confusing things, G550 based one is imported, Netra is not.
In recent, BEL investor call they mentioned that they lost to adani for Netra program.
For ISTAR, there is no AoN yet.
Adani is the dcpp in netra mk2 program whereas for istar & 360° awac program you can clearly see they are pushing Israeli products.
Another surprising thing is iaf deliberately released open tender for both these programs so that foreign companies can also participate.
Now drdo systems will have compete with rebadged foreign system & we all know who will be the L1.

IAF to get Rs 10,000 crore indigenous I-STAR spy planes to help in precision strikes against enemy ground targets
June 8 (ANI): Amid the ongoing Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, the Defence Ministry is going to take up Rs 10,000 crore proposal to buy three sophisticated spy planes to help Indian Air Force get a clear air-to-ground picture to carry out precision strikes against enemy ground targets like radar stations, air defence units and other mobile objects.The Rs 10,000 crore project for the Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (I-STAR) is expected to be taken up for clearance at a high-level defence ministry meeting scheduled to be held in the fourth week of June, defence officials told ANI.The ISTAR provides air-to-ground surveillance to the forces to help them in carrying out precision strikes.The spy aircraft project being developed by the Defence Research and Development includes the acquisition of three aircraft through an open tender from foreign manufacturers, including Boeing and Bombardier.The onboard systems on the aircraft would be completely indigenous, as the DRDO's Centre for Airborne Systems has already successfully developed them, they said.
The systems have already been proven and developed by the CABS and they will just have to be integrated with the three aircraft which would be acquired and modified for the purpose, they said.The development of an ISTAR system would also add India to a select club of nations with such a capability, including the US, UK, Israel and a few others.ISTAR thus provides dynamic and time-sensitive targeting capability and contributes significantly to meeting the nation's security goals.It will aid in limiting the scale and complexity of undetected hostile threats. It has multi-spectral surveillance capability to detect, locate and monitor irregular forces.The I-STAR system shall be for carrying out intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting by day and night from stand-off ranges.The ISTAR systems are operated at high altitudes from large stand-off ranges and will be used for intelligence processing, exploitation, dissemination and generation of the common operating picture.The ISTAR aircraft will be a system comprising airborne and ground segments.

This thread is created on 2019.. we are still purchasing and making this spy planes...feeling frustrated by the way our system moving... we can understand the fighter jet programs but this one... why?
also what are the chances that enemy radars can find this planes and destroy this by long range missiles.. will it survive in real time warfare?

So which platform it will be based upon? I am a bit confused. G550?IAF to get Rs 10,000 crore indigenous I-STAR spy planes to help in precision strikes against enemy ground targets
