Apart from the above, the DRDO has also several other radar systems currently '''under development''' or in trials. The systems on which publicly available information is available include:
 
* '''[[Uttam AESA]]''' is an indigenously developed active electronically scanned array (AESA) fire control radar. It is being developed for the [[HAL Tejas Mk2|Tejas Mk2]] and [[HAL Tejas|Mk1]] and also other aircraft upgrades such as the IAF's [[Sukhoi Su-30MKI]], [[Mikoyan MiG-29|MiG-29]] and [[Mikoyan MiG-29K|MiG-29Ks]]. Hardware has already been realised for this radar which has a range of 100&nbsp;km against small fighter sized targets and rooftop testing is underway. Though the [[Uttam AESA]] currently weighs 120&nbsp;kg which is some 40&nbsp;kg more than the current MMR, there will be no problem in integrating it with the LCA Mk-II which can easily carry a radar of this weight.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/sauravjha/2976/65448/the-radiance-of-tejas-a-bright-prospect-for-make-in-india.html |title=Saurav Jha's Blog : The Radiance of Tejas: A bright prospect for 'Make in India' |website=ibnlive.in.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224190232/http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/sauravjha/2976/65448/the-radiance-of-tejas-a-bright-prospect-for-make-in-india.html |archive-date=24 December 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> It is a 3D radar for fighters, a MMR follow on, the APAR project aims to field a fully fledged operational AESA fire control radar for the expected Mark-2 version of the [[Light Combat Aircraft]]. This will be the second airborne AESA program after the [[Airborne early warning and control|AEW&C]] project and intends to transfer the success the DRDO has achieved in the Groundground-based radar segment to airborne systems. The overall airborne APAR program aims to prevent this technology gap from developing, with a broad based program to bring DRDO up to par with international developers in airborne systems: both fire control and surveillance.
