    This is an in-house development from Solar Industries, it has nothing to do with DRDO and they likely didn't reach out to DRDO for assistance/consultation on the project. DRDO's portfolio already has everything from a man-portable BFSR to a Ship-based S-band multifunction radar.

    There are many issues with adopting the C-295 as a AEW&C platform. Endurance, range, operating altitude, power requirements of the 360° radome to name a few.

    Instead of a big old radome at top, can't the Netra Mk3 AAAU be similar in design to the Northrop Grumman's MESA that is mounted on top of the E-7 Wedgetail? The E-7 Wedgetail's MTOW is about half of the E-3 Sentry.

    LoL, if merely stating facts is being labelled as stupidity by members of the forum then so be it. The IAI Heron has a service ceiling of 30,000ft, but that does not mean it will always be operating at that altitude. Normally, the operating altitude is significantly lower, somewhere in the...
