There are many radar applications besides the airborne ones so it is hard to pinpoint..
Anyway, CABS released dev contract tender recently
Indian AESA Radar Developments

Anyway, CABS released dev contract tender recently
The airborne radar simulator contract for Uttam variants which was awarded in 2023 to Traana included full simulators for the project specific ie for mk1a , mk2 amca etc all ie the software part simulator testing and documentation. Since we have seen the hardware part now also tendered out few months ago, in next 18-24 months there could be initial proto units ready for clearing all the simulator tests, ground tests.
Which band do these radars work , per Astra and other radar co, they seem to develop reusable TR module blocks and then scale it as per use across various applications. There were dual TR module related paper for operation band of over 200MHz . Hopefully we get a detail spec later.
Also recently saw X band high res imaging radar related paper

LRDE spent good time on making the enabling building blocks
UHF radar also coming up soon in near future.
INS Anvesh (A41) looks like it has atleast one LRMFR / Ship Borne Radar (SBR) AAAU panel made by Astra Microwave & developed by DRDO LRDE installed...? pic.twitter.com/RpHoTU2ihz

Here's some snaps from a few years ago...don't think anything's changed. It still has just got a 'placeholder' of some kind in there IMO. Don't remember where I got these pics from: pic.twitter.com/0ZRwXHjuSm

What I said about the upcoming UHF radars , there will be interesting development in near future. Can not post much in public yet so lets see and wait for development.
Let me guess desi E-2 Hawkeye development
.... Which means we are probably going for bigger nuclear powered Aircraft carrier in future.Wasn't the LRMFR delivered already??
Why has it not been put into the ship??
This program is taking a lot of time.
The photo posted by adithyaKM on mar 28 is same as this. He says it has atleast 1 panel, but parthu correctly points out that nothing has changed.
Do you have any other photo that shows LRMFR being there??

Many systems are under development, VHF UHF all that. Also separately comm system with the nook subs are also getting ready since those projects are on a fast pace.Let me guess desi E-2 Hawkeye development
The validation of the entire weapon system in combat configuration, including the Multi-Function Radar (MFR) indicates that VLSRSAM and MFR are likely close to completion of its development cycle.
