Aew&C Indian Air Force

Hello sir, I am HArshit Mehta. I am from Bhopal. I want you to help me by giving me some information about the Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEWACS) in Indian Air force. Can you give me some details about it?

As you have asked about the Airborne Early Warning and Control System
(AEWACS) in Indian Air force, I am giving you information about it,
DRDO Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEWACS) is a project of
India's Defence Research and Development Organisation to develop an
airborne early warning and control system for the Indian Air Force.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) and Defence Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO) carried out a joint study of the system-level
requirements and feasibility of development for an Airborne Early Warning
and Control (AEWAC) system.

Primary responsibility for the project was with DRDO's Bengaluru-based Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS), which led the design, system
integration and testing of the system.

LRDE was responsible for the design of the radar array.

Defence Electronics Application Laboratory, based in Dehradun, was
responsible for the Data Link and Communication Systems for AEW&CS.

The responsibility between various DRDO laboratories is split as follows:



LRDE - Primary radar

DEAL - Communication Systems and Data Link
DARE - Self Protection suite, Electronic Support Measurement EW

DLRL - Communication Support Measures

CABS - IFF & Overall Programme Management, Integration & development
of the data handling system, displays, mission computers et al.


The AEWACS aircraft will have an active electronically scanned array (AESA) primary radar with IFF. The system will also have ESM (Electronic Support Measures) and CSM (Communications Support Measures) ability.
Datalinks to network the AEWACS with fighters, and ground based control systems will also be provided, as will be the SATCOM (Satellite Communication System).
The aircraft will also have a comprehensive self-defence suite.
The avionics suite will be linked via a data handling system, controlled by Mission computers.
