India gets first Embraer jet with Indian airborne radar tech Sao Paulo, Aug 17: India today made a major breakthrough in mounting an electronic eye in the sky, taking delivery here of the first Embraer 145 Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft, built with Indian technology. The first of the three AEW&C aircraft comes equipped with India’s first-ever airborne Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar, giving it the capability to detect missiles and hostile fighters at all angles. The aircraft was delivered at an official ceremony held at Embraer’s headquarters in Sao Jose dos Campos in Brazil in the presence of top Indian and Brazilian defence officials, a company statement said. The new aircraft would give the Indian Air Force capability of operating both the longer range Israeli-made IL-76 Phalcon AWACS as well as the shorter range Brazilian EMB 145. India already has acquired three Israeli AWACS and is in the process of getting two more. The new EMB 145 would have “the airborne Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar designed by DRDO’s Banglaore-based Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS)” mounted on top of the modified aircraft, said Programme Director Christopher at the ceremony. ![]() http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/logistics/article3785186.ece |
