Flight of Jaguar DARIN III with AESA Radar soon: HAL
http://idrw.org/flight-of-jaguar-darin-iii-with-aesa-radar-soon-hal/
idrw.org has been informed at Aero India 2017 that, HAL and ELTA have completed ground trials, integration and installation of Elta’s ELM-2052 AESA radar on upgraded Jaguar DARIN III aircraft and first flight of Jaguar could be conducted after Aero India 2017 concluded HAL employee to idrw.org.
Indian Air force’s main Strike aircraft Jaguar under DARIN III upgrade will be getting 28 new sensors, which will also see the integration of indigenous mission computer. ELM-2052 AESA radar on Jaguar DARIN III makes Jaguar fleet first aircraft to receive Next Generation AESA Radar technologies which will keep them technologically relevant for next decade to come.
IAF plans to keep Jaguar DARIN III flying till 2034 and has made necessary arrangements with BAE and HAL to maintain their supply chain till 2034 when it plans to retire them. HAL is also exploring the possibility of uprating it’s 25 kN indigenous Aero Engine (Hindustan Turbo Fan Engine – HTFE 25) to 35kN-40kN thrust class so that it can be offered for Jaguar DARIN III engine replacement program.
HAL employee has confirmed to idrw.org at Aero India 2017 that offering new indigenous Turbo Fan Engine for Jaguar is under active consideration but priority is to replace Russian-supplied NPO Saturn AL-55 turbofan engine which is used to power HAL’s HJT-36 Sitara Indian jet trainer with higher thrust class HTFE 25 engines.
