Jai Hind! Good news for India's aviation society. At last they did it. Now the last hurdle, firing BVR AAM.
it will not be a hurdle general info about the radar
The EL/M-2032 greatly enhances the Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground and Air-to-Sea capabilities of the aircraft. In the Air-to-Air modes, the radar enables long-range target detection and tracking for weapon delivery or automatic target acquisition in close combat engagements.
In Air-to-Ground missions, the radar provides very high-resolution mapping (SAR), surface target detection and tracking over RBM, DBS and SAR maps in addition to A/G ranging. In Air-to-Sea missions the radar provides long range target detection and tracking, including target classification capabilities (RS, ISAR).
FEATURES:
* Pulse Doppler, all aspect, look-down shoot-down capabilities.
* TWT coherent transmitter.
* Ultra low sidelobe planar antenna.
* Two axes monopulse, guard channel.
* Programmable signal processor.
* Full software control.
* Most advanced architecture, technology and components.
* Adaptability and growth potential.
o MIL 1553B interface to avionic system.
o Modular hardware configuration.
o Spare memory space and computing power.
Performance
* Air-to-Air detection and tracking range up to 80 NM(150KM App.)
* Air-to-Ground mapping, High Resolution Mapping and surface target detection up to 80 NM(150KM App.).
* Air-to-Sea detection, tracking and classification up to 160 NM(250 KM App.).
