Angle of Attack has learnt that the Radar tested on India's Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) was Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar. Complete information is still not available but it is confirmed that the radar was AESA bring India in a club of select few nations. So far only the Americans have a AESA radar in service on their F/A-18 Super Hornet and the F-22 Raptor. UAE also has AESA radar on their F-16 Block 60 which is also of American origin. Many other countries are currently testing and developing AESA radar.
According to past reports the AESA radar could have had a Indian Antenna, radome and scanner with a Israeli processor. This might be sketchy but this all Angle of Attack knows right now. The aircraft also had a new air data processor, Radar warning receiver and a new navigation and communication system bring the aircraft very close to its IOC standard.
Project director P.S Subramanyam said that all the testing necessary to receive the IOC certificate are done except the flight testing and demonstration of sensors and weapon performance which will be done once LSP-4 and LSP-5 start flying. According to him LSP-4 will be ready in a month and the LSP-5 will be ready a week later after LSP-4. Hence we can conclude that IOC certificate could be received by the Tejas within 6-7 months from now.

Very old news and it is not AESA

Read whats written Below that radar. Its Written "Active Electronically Scanned phased Array radar for light combact Aircraft" ... It sure would be a pain in the eyes:agree:

I am not sure.. last time i heard in BR we are struggling to miniaturize it to fit in the LCA cone nose and we were running into serious cooling issue... thats why we invited some partner for some components... and the whole of MMRCA is looked for AESA TOT.. correct me if i am wrong..

Acordin to last official reports LCA used Israeli Elta 2032 radar which is not an AESA radar. I seriously doubt that its AESA radar, the AESA version of the same radar is Elta-2052. and that not what we have used.

Our own AESA is not ready yet, we are still working with Israel to fix the issues.

I do Not Know Dude, Its written On that First Pic, you can zoom it and see... U can read it.... "Active Electronically Scanned phased Array radar for light combact Aircraft"

I know buddy what you are pointing to.. it could be a mock up display.. we havent matured so much into that field yet... we will be there very soon.. First lets release our own AWACS then we will see this happening very soon..

Well Do You Know something, Making a Mock up model for an AESA Radar only Signifies that we have Completed the Miniaturization of the AESA to be fixed on LCA, Even if its a Mock up or an original It Brings us a good news

:what: if that is so i would drop cake of sweets on your mouth... nowerdays no big news is coming out.. i guess it is because of CWG... all of sudden all defence related news seems to be silent.. any one could feel that??

I know buddy, I read it:), and thats why I said "according to official reports". This report is not official at all. These guys will publish if the find someone whispering AESA in ADA, and say we have learnt that LCA is using AESA..!!

Dont go by these reports.

If you are talking about BENNY's post then know that its not our mock up. Its ELTA from Israel that showcased this radar 2052 which is an AESA, we use 2032.

Dont worry when LCA will have AESA the whole world will know. most probably it will our own AESA or ELTA 2052 radar.

any update on this one????
Nothing......We were considering this for LCA but no progress so far. Looks like if the Indian RADAR fails or gets delayed, this will go to Tejas Mk2.
