* Active Phased Array radar: [[Uttam AESA]] is an indigenously developed active electronically scanned array (AESA) fire control radar. It is being developed for the LCA Mk2 and Mk1 (presumably Mk1s will be upgraded with the system) and also other aircraft upgrades such as the IAF's Jaguars and MiG-29Ks. Hardware has already been realized for this radar which has a range of 100 km against small fighter sized targets and rooftop testing is underway. Though the [[Uttam AESA]] currently weighs 120 kg which is some 40 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>http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/sauravjha/2976/65448/the-radiance-of-tejas-a-bright-prospect-for-make-in-india.html</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 AEW&C project and intends to transfer the success DRDO has achieved in the Ground-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.
* Airborne Warning and Control: Ready for delivery as of 2015. A new radar based on [[Active Electronically Scanned Array]] technology. The aim of the project is to develop inhouse capability for high power AEW&C systems, with the system covering the development of a S Band AESA array. The aircraft will also have datalinks to link fighters plus communicate with the IAF's C3I infrastructure, as well as a local SATCOM (satellite communication system), along with other onboard ESM and COMINT systems.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blonnet.com/2006/01/25/stories/2006012501641500.htm |title=Aircraft for AWACS to be chosen by the IAF |publisher=Blonnet.com |date=2006-01-25 |accessdate=2010-08-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100813033613/http://www.blonnet.com/2006/01/25/stories/2006012501641500.htm |archive-date=2010-08-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* Air Defence Tactical Control Radar (ADTCR): The Air Defence Tactical Control Radar (ADTCR) is a 3D AESA radar. It is developed by Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE), a laboratory of [[DRDO]] which is being developed for Indian Army. Air Defence Tactical Control Radar (ADTCR) is used for volumetric surveillance, detection, tracking and friend/foe identification of aerial targets of different types, and transmission of prioritised target data to multiple command posts/ weapon systems. The radar is capable of detecting very small targets and low flying targets. It is capable of tracking 100 aerial targets at a time. It has a range of 500 km (maximum).
