EL/M-2052 AESA Bound for Tejas MK-1A will also be used on other fighter jets: HAL Chief

[ni8mare]

Ironic that Israeli's already transferred technology for the ELM-2052 radar to the Chinese, and its Chinese version is one of the three AESA radars (two Chinese & one Western) under consideration for the JF-17 Blk-3.

Chinese Firm Claims To Offer Israeli AESA Radar
Chinese Radar Strongly Resembles Israeli Product

Doesn't seem like a wise decision by InAF to opt for this particular radar on 3 platforms when its technology is already transferred/ leaked.

Mere speculation

Vise versa if MK-2 flies before the Blk-3 then PAF should choose the alternative AESA.

Also another issue HAL would have more problems, the ELM-2032 on the current Tejas is 100KG with 3KVA power, the ELM 2052 is 180KG with 10KVA power. HAL already has promised to shed net 1000KG on the MK-2 plus the added power requirements on aircraft power system. HAL has big issues to work with that can cause potential delays..

Its MK1A not Mk2...........which is heavily modified version present MK 1 which is shedding of weight of 800-1000 kg and addition of Elta AESA OBOGS and EWs systems ......

MK 2 will not fly by 2020 whereas MK1A will fly next year

MK 2 will not fly by 2025(if at all) whereas MK1A will fly next decade

Already known fact, but still worth hearing one more time.

and Wasting another Thread on Tejas ?

180 kg AESA replacing the ballast

What else you want ?

Question is ..are Jaguars really worth AESA? Mirages and Mig-29s are different thing though.

Mirages are destined to get RDY 2 radars
Migs get Russian

We cannot modify and change radars without their approval and source code for weapons

Jaguars we have IPR rights, they don't have radars,
We upgrading it , with Honeywell engine we ll get extra power.

Real question, why we need AESA radar on jaguar. They can serve good with current radar and even their oprational timeline will not be beyond 2030 anyway. Mig29, Jaguar and Mirage got their last upgrade. IAF will not spend more on them. And PESA radar are not that bad.

I think conventional jaguar is without any radar,

Addition of AESA helps in better bombing ,

With ASRAAM and Honeywell engines, it ll serve for a long time.

Last jaguar was manufactured not long go.

It has better range too..

Hi --I found this useful for this question. Not sure how far this is correct. This is taken for Prasun's blog --

As for EL/M-2052 AESA-MMR, the Jaguar IS/DARIN-3 platforms require it (as I had explained in the previous thread) for performing interleaved operations (weather-monitoring, ground mapping & terrain avoidance), which is not possible with mechanically scanning MMRs that have to undertake such operations sequentially. This not only increases the pilot’s workload, but also prevents the pilot from gaining superior situational awareness. With AESA-MMRs, however, the pilot just has to select the interleaved operating mode & that’s that. Everything else is automated & the pilot can therefore focus more on flying, navigation & target acquisition/engagement. The IAF’s Tejas Mk1 (i.e. the version derived from the IN’s LCA (Navy) Mk1) will indeed be a multi-role platform.

i dint think the mk2's will get the 2052 as they are already beig upgraded. and you tak into account if the noce code can hold the aesa. yes aesa's are physically smaller than other less advanced radars but they have a moving arm do current iaf jets have large enough nose cones. also most of these jets are old and are being phased out.

You are spot on. The current upgrade will go on for 6 years. When will they go for such an extensive new upgrade?
