India: Induction of AWACS within 48 months

The Operational Requirements (ORs) are being finalized in consultation with Indian Air Force (IAF). Defence Research and Development Organisation has given its technical inputs to IAF regarding the short listed aircraft.

Performance trade-offs and optimization of ORs for a complete aircraft have been provided to IAF commensurate with mission requirement.

Modified aircraft is expected to be ready for certification in 24 months. Certification, acceptance and integration of various indigenous Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS) would take another 24 months. Therefore, a fully equipped indigenous AWACS aircraft is estimated to be ready in 48 months from the date of availability of aircraft.

This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee in a written reply to Shri Milind Deora in Lok Sabha today.
