Because the work we did so far on fighter radars failed as well! The LRDE puls doppler radar isn't ready and mature yet either. LCA MK1 most likely gets the EL 2032, with some mission computers from India. That's just what we do with MKIs BARS radar, or what we plan to do with FGFAs radar, but our own basic radar is not even capable enough to be fitted to the Jaguar upgrade, so what does it tell you about how realistic or risky it is, to make LCA MK2 dependent on the indigenous AESA?
Indigenous puls doppler radar project should be killed right away, because it's far too late for that tech, especially if it only comes for early MK2s. Let them focus on indigenous AESA, but add it to any platform when it's actully ready and not only by the hope it could be ready soon. In the meantime take a proven foreign AESA, to make the Mk2 uprgade simpler and on time.
@Dillinger told here yesterday that we may get trm's from outside.
Even I am not convinced as we have failed to make even a simple fucking pulse doppler radar.
And guess what,even after this we will have no new policy to increase private participation or move to increase disinvestment in drdo/hal/ofb!
Part of the problem also lies in rigid employee unions,they won't perform but won't let a new player given a chance too.
Unless new govt takes some bold steps,we are pretty much gonna be fucked as far as indigenization goes.
Same 90 pc imported dhruv or 60 pc imported tejas.
