The Arial combat challenges have evolved from a dog fight to beyond visual range combat and now electronic warfare. Be it F-35, or Gripen or Rafale, the secret of their success lies in the better electronic warfare capabilities.
As we all know that India is also working on its ambitious 5th plus generation fighter jet program AMCA. While the indigenous engine remains the Achilles hill of the AMCA, another important aspect of this program is electronic warfare suite.
Before AMCA, Tejas MK2 will enter into production which will be integrated with the latest electronic warfare suits. The integration of Tejas MK2 with the latest electronic warfare suit will help to improve and prove the system’s capability.
But the question is what electronic warfare suit is, what are its major components and where do we stand in this realm of technology. This video is all about exploring such questions, so let’s get started.
DARE is one of the DRDO’s most low-profile laboratories and also one of its most successful. It has developed a self-protection suite for the aircraft under a program named Mayawi in collaboration with Israle’s Elisra. Mayavi is designed to enhance survivability during deep penetration and actual combat. It includes a radar warning receiver (RWR), Missile Approach Warning (MAW) and a Laser warning receiver (LWR) system, Infrared & Ultraviolet Missile warning sensors, self-protection jammer, chaff, jaff and flares dispenser, an electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite and a towed radar decoy (TRD). MAYAVI EW (Electronic Warfare) Suite was developed specially for Tejas, however its highly unlikely that the complete Mayavi suite can be integrated with Tejas MK1 due to space constraint.
While there are so many components which forms the part of Electronic Warfare suit, the two most important among them are Self-protection Jammer(SPJ) pods and Radar Warning receiver(RWR), regarding which we will be discussing in today's video.
While the Super Sukhoi upgrade seems to be too ambitious program at the moment due to the heavy cost involved in it, the upgrade of SU-30 MKIs Electronic Counter Measures capability is much needed move. The Air force seems to be taking baby steps towards upgrading these components which seems to be wise at present situation. The development of these systems are important step towards developing a better and next generation Electronic Warfare suite which will be seen in Tejas MK2 & AMCA.
For the SU-30 MKIs fleet the Uttam AESA Radar & X-band towed decoy system are also required towards the Air Force has to also start focusing. These systems along with HBJ or ASPJ in future along with DRWR-118 will make SU-30 MKIs a powerful killing machine for which neither Pakistan nor China will have answer.
