Indian AESA Radar Developments

Uttam mk2 to be delivered next year?
Unbelievable..
Nothing surprising actually. It's for the Mk2 development and was already expected to be ready before first flight. I had pointed this out years ago, that the avionics for Mk2 will become available from before first flight, so flight testing risk is very low. Mk1 was drastically delayed due to the delay with avionics.
India develops AESA radar to make IAF fighters more lethal
Project director D Seshagiri of Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) confirmed this and said that the developed AESA radar is 95% indigenous, with only one imported subsystem.
LRDE seems confident Su-30MKI and Mig-29K will be upgraded with Uttam AESA Radar.

Just noticed Amca got mentioned but not MWF. Thinking too much?
Yep. Because it was confirmed long ago that MWF will get Uttam Mk2.
This article is only to confirm that the MKI and "all" the Mk1As will get Uttam. Earlier there was no confirmation about MKI, only suspicions, and HAL said Uttam will come on Mk1A from the second squadron onwards.
Amca production will be after MWF only right?
Why is it getting mentioned..
It must also get Uttam mk2.
There's nothing about AMCA in the article.
Mk2 has been beaten to death by the IAF already.
IAF’s surface-to-air guided weapons on cards: Air Chief Marshal Vivek Ram Chaudhari | News - Times of India Videos
The surface-to-air guided weapons and other equipment are on the cards of Indian Air Force, said Air Chief Marshal Vivek Ram Chaudhari on October 01. “I think our steps are well known to everybody. We have signed the contract for 83 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), the Advanced Medium Combat...

'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' Iconic Week Celebration by DRDO’s Micro Electronics Devices and Computational Systems Cluster
Posted On: 15 DEC 2021 8:48 PM by PIB Delhi
Key Highlights:
● 3 products handed over to the user laboratories of DRDO
● 4 Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreements executed with public and private sector companies
● Release of ‘Yatra’, a Compendium on 60 Glorious years of SSPL and SSPL Safety Manual
● Release of Process Design Kit (PDK) for X-band Gallium Nitride (GaN) MMIC
● Release of hardware and software products for secure communication
Secretary DD R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr G Satheesh Reddy, handed over three products developed by MED & CoS Cluster to the user laboratories at an event held at DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi today as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations and iconic week of the Ministry of Defence. He also handed over four Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreements to public and private sector companies.
Founded in 1961, SSPL has completed 60 years and is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee Year. ‘Yatra’, the Compendium, traces historical journey of the laboratory and includes memoirs from several retired scientists. The compendium has been compiled in association with IDST.
The GaN process development kit has been released for MMIC designers to enable them to design indigenous GaN MMICs for various frequencies upto X-band. The devices can be manufactured at GAETEC.
Secretary DD R&D handed over High-g MEMS Switch, UHF 1 kW High Power Amplifier and X-band Power Amplifier to user laboratories. He also handed over SSPL developed technology of 0.5 W Stirling Cryocooler for Integrated Detector Dewar Cooler Assembly (IDDCA) to Bharat Electronics Limited.
Technology document of 10 W laser diode chip fabrication technology and X-band GaN HEMT MMIC was handed over to GAETEC. Technology document for HgCdTe based DDCA was handed over to STAR-C.
The technology of Acoustic Emission (AE) Sensors, AE Data Acquisition & Analysis System was handed over to industry. The sensors and the system will be used for site specific snow avalanche monitoring/prediction.
Secretary, DD R&D handed over CAIR developed INDIGIS, a Geographical Information System to industry. Secure mobile handset to facilitate secure transmission of voice and instant messaging over 4G cellular networks for usage in sensitive environment was launched.
Reliable and secure key transfer Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) at a distance over 100 km using commercial telecom optical fiber link was announced.
On this occasion, SAG, Delhi issued certificates of assurance for IT products, namely Data Diode to BEL and software product of CAIR. Data Diode is a device for enforcing one-way traffic to the internet from internal network. The improved bandwidth internal network and various IT portals were launched during the event.
The event was attended by various cluster & corporate DGs, Directors, senior scientists from various DRDO laboratories, former DRDO Directors and industry representatives.

These are for Fire Control Radars.
Cryocooler are mostly used for cooling IR seekers. IDDCA are for cooling/heat removal from radar's TR modules.
Laser based chip fabrication is often used for mass manufacturing of micro-processors & mirco-controllers. If they can use this to make GaN HEMT then we can start seeing GaN based seekers on the radar seekers of our AAM & SAMs soon.
Mercury cadmium telluride is mostly used for making very sensitive IR detectors. DDCA on HgCdTe would act as an heat removal mechanism allowing the sensor to work better.
So the experiments in quantum communications have started to bear fruits. ISRO had already established quantum comms between satellites & ground stations. Now we have successful trials of quantum comms in terrestrial environment.
So Finally TOT of MCT Based FPA has been done. Next in line Insb, T2SL, micro bolometer .
Satellites? Not yet.

Right I mixed up Optical comms with quantum comms.
Are there any updates on DRDO's HPR?
This was in 2018 or 2019. Were there any projected dates for deployment?
