Embraer aircraft with Indian warning system to fly by 2011

2010-09-12 15:50:00

An Indian built Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEWCS) will be integrated into the Brazilian Embraer-145 Aircraft, which will fly in the country in January 2011, said a senior official of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The AEWCS comprises radars that look far and deep providing command and control for battle management functions with data link for both tactical and defence forces, DRDO Chief Controller Prahlada said.

'And the aircraft with the Indian AEWCS will be flying in India by the end of 2011 (after tests),' he said, during an interaction with the media here Friday.:cheers:

India and Brazil have signed a deal to jointly integrate the DRDO's AEWCS onto a Brazilian airborne platform. Three Brazilian Embraer-145 aircraft will carry the Active Array Antenna Units (AAAU), developed by DRDO.

'Three modified EMB-145 aircraft will be developed under this agreement,' Prahlada said.

The Defence Electronics Application Laboratory (LRDE), one of the DRDO laboratory, is building the primary sensors, communication systems and data link.

The Defence Avionics Research Establishment (DARE) is making self-protection systems, electronic warfare suites and provide communication support systems.

The heart of the radar is from the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment. The integration of the systems, mission computer, display and data handling is being done by the Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS).

Earlier projects were delayed because we didn't have either money or technology to develop something new but time has changed. DRDO has lots of money to invest and we have a good technological based from various missiles, Tejas, EW systems and radars etc. The new projects will not be delayed long like earlier one.

BTW every country's defence projects are delayed as well.

DRDO in recent times seems to have restructured their methods of working.....now they announce a viable project only after they are assured all the technologies required can be available or developed in the stipulated time frame.....
