Low altitude will see different numbers due to clutter. Look up and look down numbers are different. And it doesn't look like they have spoken about a specific target. Without target size, all these range numbers are meaningless.

2007 was when the N011M Mk3 was released, it was part of a three phase program to upgrade MKI's avionics with Indian technologies.

DRDO has been designing chips for over 3 decades.
These are the goals of RCS = 3
These things are at least more reliable than bragging about Indian weapons with French and Russian propaganda data
Of course I know you can set up a back-end computer. After all, India can buy what it wants from all over the world，But can India come up with a military processor similar to the US MPC 8640D? China at least has its own Huarui 1Hao2007 was when the N011M Mk3 was released, it was part of a three phase program to upgrade MKI's avionics with Indian technologies.
Batch 3, with N011M Mk.3, added Indian processor to replace Russian C101 radar computer, ground attack mode with simultaneous air target search and integration with Rafael Litening pod. Indian-assembled aircraft reportedly have new gimbals for N011M's moving antenna, giving ±100 degrees azimuth and elevation, plus tracking range increase to 100 n miles (185 km; 115 miles).Janes | Intelligence gathering and OSINT Analysis solutions

Don't take Jane's data seriously, he once speculated that the 1493 radar data is not as good as the J-7G KLJ 10
Then Bars is already as good as the Irbis-E.
Or the Russians sold the PLAAF a downgraded radar.
Or what you posted is specifically referring to something I can't verify because I can't read Chinese.
A threat created by one of our members here.
In 2015, the govt said that all govt owned computers should have Indian designed and manufactured processors, with priority for military, space and other strategic sectors.
This is from the 90s, built on a 700nm process. It's called Anupama.
Just so you know, India is one of the biggest contributors to global chip design.
Jane's is quoting official Indian sources in this case. But I know they are very unreliable about news from Russia and China.
I'm talking about a dedicated DSP chip, which is a dedicated digital signal processing chip, although China is 5-7 years behind the US Texas Instruments, But at least China has this thing
As for your claim that India is the leader, this is the best joke I have ever heard
Do you believe what you said
DO you really understand what you have writen ?
- If you don't tell the size of the target that's mean nothing.
- If you don't have resolution, detection only is useless. You need to identify and to classify. Then the real quality for a radar is the identification range.
Yes, we have it, but there are no pics available.
Dunno where you read 'leader', but as per our top experts, India contributes 20% of the global manpower for semiconductor design, both inhouse as well as outside the country.
Yes, because what you claimed is either based on incomplete information or you have become a victim of downgrades, which is also normal. It doesn't match with known information elsewhere. My post was sarcastic.
IAF's radar detection range requirement for MMRCA was 130Km for 3m2 target, same as original Bars, all competitors provided more than 200Km. And here you are saying Irbis-E with more than twice the power and twice the aperture size also performs the same as small AESA radars?
So either you don't know what the report is actually saying or all air forces and companies are wrong.
Anyway, although I cannot read Chinese, I will try and make a guess what it's trying to say. Irbis-E has a 350Km detection range against 3m2 target and with 20deg narrow beams, it can exceed 400Km. But in look-down mode, detection range is 60% of look-up mode. So the detection range of Irbis-E in such a mode should be between 210-230Km against 3m2 target. So this is what I think that report is saying. This is normal.
In look-up mode, Irbis-E has 350Km range for 3m2, F-22 is said to be 250+Km, it's unclear if the planned upgrade to 400Km against 1m2 (or 520Km for 3m2) was done or not (probably not, it's an expensive upgrade), and J-11BG's radar should be 450Km against 1m2 target (600Km for 3m2) as per CCTV.
So the equivalent look-down ranges will be 210 Km for Su-35, 150-310 Km for F-22 and 360Km for J-11BG. This transition makes sense.
F-22 Mk1 (2005+) < Su-35S (2010+) < F-22 Mk2 (2015+) < J-11BG (2020+)... makes sense. This is how it normally works.
The report is correct, his understanding of the report is wrong.
Uttam MK3 is the radar that is going to replace Bars in the MKI. Bars weighs around 600kgs. Uttam AESA is going to be half its weight. So, yes, we know that this will change the weight balance hence as per reports we're looking to update the FCS/FBW as well.
India only assembles aircraft? Heard about Tejas buddy?
Recent rumours have suggested that despite Greece’s interest in the fifth-generation American fighter, HAF officials are ‘flirting’ with the idea of a successive Rafale order along with the creation of two highly capable and numbered squadrons with this modern French fighter. The French newspaper La Tribune implied last January that Greece is interested in increasing the total number of its purchased Rafales. Only time will tell… CAJ
Are there any grammatical mistakes in what I wrote? The N035's maximum detection range of 350-400KM is achieved at +-20°,The Chinese call it gaze mode
And the early warning aircraft need to provide accurate target information
At a search Angle of +-60°, his range is only 200KM and his downward-looking range is only 180KM,
For lateral and posterior targets, the detection range is only about 80km
Compared with AESA radar, PESA itself adds a transmitting high-frequency feed network from the transmitter to the phase shifter oscillator, and add from the oscillator to the low noise amplifier, which itself has a large power loss and a natural reduction in detection range
You can find a lot of that from the West, and it's a PESA,bu is not an advanced thing.
One of the major problems in the design of the J11B was to solve the trim problem of the aircraft after changing the radar,
Finally solve by the extensive use of composite materials in the rear of the aircraft
The rafale is analog pesa tech, with an aesa antenna stuck on it. They do have some digital conversion.
That's incorrect. The chief of NIIP himself said search range is 350Km and narrow beam range is more than 400Km in an interview.
It's situational. Fighters can detect and track targets on their own. AWACS provide extra capability. Naturally, AWACS are decision makers so the situation is different.
Even with a look-down range at 180Km, look-up range will be 300Km.
And your search range could be what we call "tracking" range. Then that's fine too, although this could be at lower power settings, which is normal too.
Okay, but it has nothing to do with my post. IAF simply said, this is what my current radar can do, you people need to surpass it, and they did.
Irbis compensates for the difference with radiated power. It's a unique solution for the Russians, so I'm not saying it's better than an AESA radar on a whole. But purely on radiated power and detection range, you have underestimated Irbis.
Definitely, which is why small AESA radars are able to surpass the performance of Bars.
If Bars can do 130Km against a 3m2 target, small radars are doing way more than that. Uttam Mk1 with just 736 TRMs can do far more than that.
