India selects Saab for Tejas fighter radar

India has chosen Saab to provide the active electronically scanned array radar for its Tejas Mk 1A fighter.

"The AESA fighter radar is developed by Saab with antenna technology based on the latest technologies using Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicone Carbide (SiC) substrates in combination with the latest generation of exciter/receiver and processor technology, giving optimum installed performance in a dense signal environment," according to a company news release.

In addition, Saab will provide an electronic warfare suite for the Tejas. "The heart of the suite is an electronic warfare receiver which is connected to a front end receiver and fin tip antennas inside the aircraft," Saab said.

Any other media outlets reporting this?

Lolz indigenousness at its best .

Yep, that is taken care of as well:

HAL issued on 14 December a request for quotation (RFQ) for AESA radars to Israel Aerospace Industries/Elta (Israel), Raytheon (United States), Rosoboronexport (Russia), Saab (Sweden), and Thales (France), envisaging the purchase of 24 fully assembled systems and another eight in kit form for local assembly.

The remaining 48 radars, the RFQ stated, would be licence-built by HAL under a technology transfer.

Are they offering Raven ES-05 AESA radar from Finmeccanica Sllex or PS-05/A from Ericsson?
Why not go for RBE2 AA from Thales. This is more stable radar.

Raven ES-05 has a detection range of 150 km, aerial targets >14 targets.
for RBE2 AA has a detection range of 200 km, aerial targets 40 targets.


And If I'm not wrong Thales has company in India.

So, Gripen is coming..........!!!!!!!!!!!

Finmeccanica is black listed in India, so we can safely assume that it would be PS-05/A from Ericsson. I think LCA has small nose cone size and RBE2 AA might not be compatible with it. Also with GE F-404 engine, power available for radar might not be adequate for RBE2 AA power requirements.

We have JF-17 thunder it will smash gripen/f-16 out of park

......

I thought India is going for the Israeli radar.
What happened to the elta AESA radar?

Yesterday some Indian dude was claiming that home grown Uttam Radar (along with many other goodies) will equip their Teja. Now this news of acquiring Saab system for it. Well, a paper plane will remain a plane on paper/propaganda regardless which system they buy for it. The project is a colossal failure that should have been abadoned years ago. It's only their ego that is keeping this white elephant still alive. Since several squadrons of Thunder are already operational, Indians cannot afford to give up on Teja thingy.

It is, but a tender for 100 AESA radars was put out from HAL for the MK1A. Tejas MK1A is purely a HAL managed product, it's HAL taking DRDO's design, further inhouse improving on it. MK1A was an agreement between HAL, IAF for further orders, with AESA, etc. so please tell me how it's a colossal failure when the user extended the order?

And UTTAM Radar is being developed, matter a fact, pretty fast at that..

They've already chosen an LSP for flight testing.

Pakistan should learn the tactics of "Indigenous" from India ... lol
all the "Parchar" of indigenous goes in gutter ... Thread galley parh gya

 

[TopCat]

Looks like, its only the Indian berger paint going to be Indian in it.

 

[GR!FF!N]

Few members here should note that Uttam are not being built for mk-1a.making fun of others hard work while flying a plane dubbed as JV where even Paint job was done by China is pretty cheap.

AFAIK Sweden SAAB is one of the best in radars
