Astra Microwave is moving closer to securing a major production contract for the indigenous Uttam AESA radar, a key component of India’s future Tejas Mk1A fleet. The development highlights growing confidence in domestic radar technology while supporting broader efforts to enhance self-reliance in advanced defense electronics. Parallel work on the Virupaksha radar for Su-30MKI upgrades further demonstrates India’s expanding capabilities in indigenous airborne sensor development.
