The picture shows the Indian radar right?
Yes, its a prototype. Real one will be huge like the AN/MPS-39.

Is this the Indian civillian version of the X-37B (USAF space command) and Chinese Shenlong?

Phased Array Prototype
50 cm x 50 cm object size at a slant range of 1000 km
30 cm x 30 cm object size at a slant range of 800 km
Pic is a bit small to make out the details but it looks to me like a typical poled (di- or mono-) system. These are usually much larger than solid state systems that are compacted for airborne use. Poled designs do not need liquid cooling but then higher power poled systems may. It all depends on power out.Are the stated detection ranges already achieved? Got any write up on this? How tight is the resolution and noise level reduction?
Its a liquid cooled radar, how did ISRO get the liquid cooling challenges done with before CABS/DRDO?
@gambit doesn't look like a liquid cooled system, does it? Since mine amateur eyes can't gauge anything could you perhaps be of some assistance?

The L-band is often used for poled designs.This apparently is a L-band active electronically scanned array radar. To the best of my knowledge, so far we have only an operational air cooled S-band AESA for the AEW&C designed and built by us, liquid cooling solutions are yet to be seen in any existing indigenous AESA sensor.

The APA source above have a few good pics of a typical poled array. Disregard the claim to be good against 'stealth'. They have their opinions and I have mine. We will just have to wait for an actual engagement to know for certain.
Yes, it is.@gambit Ideally how much time does it take to graduate from air cooled systems to liquid cooled ones? Is it a very complex process?
Yes, it is.
If you want to talk about a true and pure indigenous design, look at approximately 10 yrs, from R/D to deployment, assuming you have all the necessary components of high quality and we are talking about down to how to manufacture solid state components. Right now, Iran or even the Saudis can have a true indigenous poled array design.
