India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program progresses with the development of a Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, featuring 1,593 Transmit/Receive Modules (TRMs). This indigenous radar, developed by DRDO’s LRDE, ensures advanced detection capabilities, electronic warfare resilience, and energy efficiency, promising a competitive edge against global fifth-generation fighters. The AMCA’s radar is positioned to exceed detection ranges of 250 km, enhancing situational awareness in contested airspaces. As a key element of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, this technological advancement emphasizes self-reliance and could significantly influence future air combat dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region, highlighting the importance of electronic superiority in modern warfare.
