DRDO Advances Next-Generation AESA Radar Subsystems for Airborne and Naval Platforms
BangaloreIndia's defence technology ecosystem has taken another significant step forward as DRDO's Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) advances next-generation Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar subsystems for both airborne and naval platforms.
The new radar architecture features advanced transmit-receiver modules, phased array technology, and sophisticated beam-steering capabilities, enabling simultaneous multi-target tracking, enhanced detection ranges, and strong resistance against electronic warfare and jamming.
Among the key developments is the Low Band Active Antenna Array, designed to improve long-range surveillance, maritime domain awareness, and the detection of low-observable aerial threats. The systems have also successfully undergone rigorous Environmental Stress Screening, validating their reliability under demanding operational conditions.
These technologies will support major indigenous programmes, including the Uttam AESA radar for the Tejas Mk2 and future multi-function Shared Aperture radar systems, strengthening India's self-reliance in advanced aerospace and defence technologies while significantly enhancing the operational capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces.On Date:
