IAF to induct indigenous radars - The Economic Times

NEW DELHI: India will on Friday induct an indigenous medium-power radar at the Naliya air base to enhance its air defence capabilities over Gujarat's airspace, an official said on Tuesday.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) chief, Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik, will do the honours and induct the 'Arudhra' medium-power radar developed by the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment of the Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO )), the official said.

The induction would be done on the sidelines of the three-day Gandhinagar-based South Western Air Command (SWAC) commanders' conference beginning Wednesday.

"This state-of-the-art radar is being inducted towards strengthening the air defence in the Surashtara-Kutch region and forms an important component in the IAF's plan to achieve network-centric operations," the official said.

With the operationalisation of the Integrated Air Command and Control Systems (IACCS), an automated command and control system of the IAF, the overall air defence of the country would achieve a quantum leap. The Arudhra radar, along with the legacy radars, would all be networked in this system.

It will be definitely AESA radar, soon it will be miniaturized to make it fit into aircrafts.

This is a 4D AESA radar. Not sure about the range but it might be 300 km. IAF named the MPR 'Arudhra'! 4D means it is capable of finding direction, range, height and velocity. This radar incorporates advanced Active Array technology & Digital Beam Forming. Initially 8 radars will be inducted by the IAF.


Congrats DRDO.

Waiting for Friday.

What other countries have 4D radar? any names?

Tried to google it but didn't find much.

Range is the important thing here.

Not all sites say the same story.

New Delhi, May 31 (IANS) In a bid to strengthen its air defence over Gujarat’s airspace, India will Friday induct Israeli medium-power radars with a range of 300 km at the Naliya air base, an official said Tuesday.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) chief, Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik, will do the honours and induct the medium-power radars from Israeli firm Elta Systems, the official said. The IAF has named the new radar Arudhra, the official added.

The Electronics and Radar Development Establishment of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) too is developing an indigenous medium-power radar with the same name.

The radars would be inducted on the sidelines of the three-day commanders conference of the Gandhinagar-based South Western Air Command (SWAC) beginning Wednesday.

‘This state-of-the-art radar is being inducted for strengthening the air defence in the Surashtara-Kutch region and forms an important component of the IAF’s plans to achieve network-centric operations,’ the official said.
