The Indian Air Force (IAF) is advancing its electronic warfare capabilities by upgrading its transport aircraft with a Next-Generation Radar Warning Receiver (NG RWR), replacing the outdated Tarang system. This modern system incorporates an open architecture and AI-based processing for enhanced threat detection and response, particularly against sophisticated radar threats from China and Pakistan. The NG RWR’s design allows for seamless integration with mission computers, maintaining operational performance without compromising the aircraft’s capabilities. This upgrade is crucial for increasing the survivability of IAF transport aircraft in contested airspaces, ensuring that India remains equipped to address evolving security challenges along its borders. Strengthening its electronic warfare capabilities is a significant step towards bolstering national defense and operational readiness.
