Status Update of AESA radar Uttam : Shake down sorties were completed in January, 2019 on modified executive Jet hired. Indigenous AESA radar integration and EMI/EMC tests on LCA ‘Tejas’ LSP2 aircraft are nearing completion and flight evaluation is planned shortly.

Old news ! LSP 2 is now regularly flying with Uttam and it will take a lot of time for full evaluation .

Update from indranil brf...



1. Uttam has been flying on LSP 2 for a while. Up till now the performance has been found to be good. Netra was great during Balakot.
2. Mk1 heading for final set of tests to finalize flight computer/auto pilot.
3. Mk1A is still on paper. HAL has been asked for justification of costs. First prototype will most likely be a modified LSP.
4. NLCA headed for first trap on SBTF.
5. First prototype of Mk2 to be likely by 2022/23

Modified lsp means mk1a will come very fast once sanctioned.

Range will never be released in public domain. Astra range was once said to be beyond 110km by a senior most defence member but was abrupted then and there by other person not to relase confidential info in public. Check some RSTV debate regarding it.

As far as Tejas 45SQ to have Derby- thats was very well laid out by govt PIB. Not sure why people quote unknown BRF dudes and take their word as sacrosant.

Based on the successful integration and demonstration, Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness (RCMA), a unit of DRDO has cleared the series production aircraft of Squadron 45, to be equipped with Derby operational capability. LCATejas has successfully completed a series of captive flight trials to clear Derby for the full operational capability in the entire FOC envelope. In the past, Tejas has qualified for the armaments and missile release related trials.

The indigenous products must be inducted in services as soon as they are ready.The perfection and improvisation should be added later on as add-on.
