As per the project director Saurav L. Chaudhari the vehicle will be ready for its final flight test in mid of the year 2023. The CEO Shantanu Gawande estimated the final flag in the timeline to be at the end of the same year 2023
HTNP industries HGV-202 F
Old though but covers good information.

The main problem would be of communication blackout.
DARPA'S HTV-01&HTV-02 covered major coms blackout.

THEY WERE DOING TEST IN 2020 WHAT ABOUT THAT ANY UPDATES???

IF THEY ARE ABLE TO BUILD THIS PORKISTAN AND CHINKS WUD BE MAD AF

That was lab test,most probably already done

@porky_kicker @Karthi @Chinmoy @fire starter can you throw some light on how good our aesa seeker for aam are and is it possible to use them on sam too , and how they stack up against other seeker , is the aim 120 d use dual seeker and can it be possible to use a rf as well as ir seeke i nsame missile ,or multi band seeker .



There was a new seeker photographed some time back for maybe akash ng , how good is that ,and us their any much improved seeker is in deveolpment ?

WHAT IS RANGE OF THIS ITERATION OF UTTAM ??

WHAT IS RANGE OF THIS ITERATION OF UTTAM ??

Don't know but kne thing for sure they are utilizing most of nose cone area , earlier design left patches of area uncovered , this us really badass radar , looks like elm 2052

 

[Aniruddha Mulay]

WHAT IS RANGE OF THIS ITERATION OF UTTAM ??

Going by this hypothesis, given that peak power per TRM stays same, expect an increase anywhere from 20-30% over the current UTTAM AESA radar which has a range of 150km for a target of RCS 2m^2.
Expect a range of 180-200km for target of 2m^2 RCS going by this hypothesis

HOW MUCH CLOSE WILL TEJAS MK2 DETECT JF17 BLUNDER??

 

[SavageKing456]

HOW MUCH CLOSE WILL TEJAS MK2 DETECT JF17 BLUNDER??

RCS of blunder is high so it can detect from far away
Dk exact range

 

[Lonewolf]

HOW MUCH CLOSE WILL TEJAS MK2 DETECT JF17 BLUNDER??

250 km in head on if it carries some missile and all , as it's rcs would be more than 3 m^2

BLUNDER WILL BE ASSRAPED BY MK2 IN BVR WITH ASTRA MK3 AND METEOR

That don't matter anymore tbh , it's made to counter f 16 of their , but yeah it would fry f 16 model they have , if it would be block V we would have tough competition but theirs will be not too hard to get ,no aesa ,no proper bvr , sfdr fired at 70 km will eat them up .

Shouldn't calculation consider Power available to each TRM for this calculation? As its not cascading of TRMs but increase in individual TRMs detection range. And Power is not all power available for Radar. I guess this calculation is flawed.

Might be but it's ge 414 , so comparitively more power

Yes but I never get this how increasing TRM can increase distance of detection. Ideally it should increase area of detection. Distance should depend on Power availability for individual TRMs.

Yeah but the range quoted is almost similar to one available for mk1a variant , as for 1 m^2 it's 150

Yes it should be if Power distribution is constant which might be the case. Its just since area increases number of tracks and engage should be more.

Isn't it more efficient Design cover most available area of nose cone

Its scaled up uttam not MK2.

Mk 2 was supposedly a totally different design with gan , right ?
