EXCLUSIVE: Indonesia Gets In Line For India’s New AEW&C Jet
Shiv AroorFeb 12 2017 11 37 am

Indonesia could be the first foreign customer for the DRDO-Embraer AEW&C system, designated Netra, within the next year, if interest from Jakarta is anything to go by. Livefist learns Indonesia, which first expressed interest in the system, has escalated its interest to a request for a systems demonstration, possibly in that country. The project has achieved initial operational clearance, with the first of two jets set to be handed over to its customer, the Indian Air Force, at the Aero India show — a terrific splash of an idea.

At the 2015 Aero India show, Livefist got full access to the first jet.

India’s DRDO has been ordered to aggressively and proactively pitch the new DRDO-Embraer AEW&C jet platform to foreign customers at Aero India 2017. With 52 countries at the show, the project team will hopefully have its hands full. Livefist can confirm the DRDO has received foreign interest (beyond preliminary enquiries) from Brazil itself, Israel and South Africa. “We have also received interest on just the sensor package developed by us for the platform, for fitment on other designated airborne platforms of countries in the interests of commonality or other compelling factors,” a member of the project told Livefist.

In a statement released yesterday, the Ministry of Defence said, “The Airborne Surveillance System is a game changer in air warfare. The AEW&C System is a system of systems populated with state-of-the art Active Electronically Scanned Radar, Secondary Surveillance Radar, Electronic and Communication Counter Measures, LOS (Line of Sight) and beyond LOS data link, voice communication system and self protection suite, built on an Emb-145 platform, having an air to air refueling capability to enhance surveillance time. Complex tactical software has been developed for fusion of information from the sensors, to provide the air situation picture along with intelligence to handle identification/classification threat assessment. Battle management functions are built in house to work as a network centric system of Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS) node.”

Is India capable of building regional jets such as Embraer?

If not, than India still needs Brazilian permission to export.

Brazilian permission to sell the AEWC tech? Because those are two different things. The platform can be modified for the user (similar to the phalcon on the Russian IL), the AEWC tech is what has sparked interest.

So to answer your question, no we don't need Brazilian permission.

Just in, India will be mounting its indigenous AWEC on a brand new Airbus platform to increase its range to 300km vs 200km and 360 vs 240 degree view compared to the Embraer platform.

You should now be worry free of any Brazilian interference.

Also, I never understood why the Brazilians would object to begin with when they will be making money on the platform itself?

Indonesia can buy the Embraer it self, and get it done in India! Indonesia needs a surveillance plane of this magnitude mostly with its air refueling capability.. because it is very stretched..
Are all the technologies in the AEW&C Jet made in India, including the AESA radar?

 

[Crixus]

I am sure in coming 10 years the face of Indian defence industry will be different , hopefully in AWE&C we will have a good product to offer potential buyers

Most of the critical tech, yes.

It can use the Airbus C295, which will eventually be produced in India.

Indonesia is a third world country, too poor to afford a proper, working jets so they settle with crap, flying coffins made by an even poorer country that is india.

Right, India can afford Rafales, MKIs, aircraft carriers, but this inducted AEW&C is crap? stfu.
