In case someone wish to review the full documents.
Some papers from last year with the radar group people being the researchers , one is S band GAN trm and the other is X band.
Also a zoomed pic , think this was posted before somewhere

The IAF AEW&C Sub Systems of NETRA are testament to Make in India
In essense , it's a System of Systems
- Primary Radar (AAAU Unit)
- IFF (Secondary)
- MDP (Mission Data Processor)
- ESM & CSM
- Data Links (C Band + Ku Band)
- Protection- (RWR+MAWS+CMDS) pic.twitter.com/mbaVVGHAtK
Let's dive in,

1- The Active Antenna Array Unit (AAAU) , is the heart of the system, while {Central Unit+Radar Processor Unit} act as the brain of system.
They provide:
- 240° Coverage with multi mode and function with high beam steering and stabilization by array pic.twitter.com/RmQS8Oj2Mi

The Su-30 model's midsection is almost comical shaped:

Yeah, Vivaldi antennas are also called Tapered slot antennas (TSA).
I hope this has electronic attack capability and a really good mission computer. This will be a monster. Hope we atleast re-engine with al-41's and ram paint our flankers. We need 350 of these. R-37m integration and we might have a wmd in our hands bros
Uttam for Mk-1A -> 912 TR modules

Uttam variant for LCA AF MK-2 -> 912 TR modules
Virupaksha for Su-30 MKI -> 2400 TR modules
AMCA radar -> 1536 TR modules
Time to work on engine to feed these hungry birds

Some arrays are additional redundancy purpose, anyway a decent packaging.
Since the trm design is modular and scalable as per LRDE, can they evolve this 4x4 into some 8x8 array or 16 x16 array like they mentioned in that doc?

This is not strictly radar related, so please move to relevant thread if deemed so.

Is any one having clear photo of brochures.
Can't believe despite having huge crowd no one seems to have clicked the clear pictures, sab saale gaand mara rahe hai waha chutiye.

I will try to capture whatever these people missed when I'm there on Thursday.
Azad Engg stall is just beside Astra Mw's there in the above pic. They got the full end to end Advanced turbo gas generator engine deal from GTRE. maybe ask about that, application wise and future prospect, and whether this can have export scope.
The LR-MFR:
One of the most important radars under development. Yet nobody has taken a good photo.
DRDO's upcoming APS radar:
Photonics TRMs for DRDO's upcoming photonics radar:
