Putting its "mini-AWACS" status back on track.

If I am not wrong this makes Virupaksha the only nose-mounted radar to have so many TRM modules.

We should really look into converting Su-30MKIs airframe into composite like J-16s.

But what about the power requirement?? You think the Al-31FPs be able to generate enough power??
 
With 12 kW peak power output of each TRM, Virupaksha will have a range of 296 km against a 3sqm target at PD 90. At PD 50 this increases to 441 km.

PD is probability of detection.

Against a 0.1 sqm targets, range is atleast 100 km for PD 90. This figure will increase for PD 50. Meaning J-20A can be detected and tracked at long enough ranges which will allow BVR engagement.

Virupaksha may have a 26.5 kW peak power rating based on the heat exchanger shown in last Aero India. It's range will be much higher than the much vaunted APG-77 on Raptor. It will even outranged the mighty beast Irbis.

And best thing is GaN TRMM require 1/5 th the power of GaAs for the same power output. So electrical power availability on Su-30MKI won't be a constraint.

So soon the most capable AESA radar would be ours. Closely followed by ASELSAN's.
No USA, no France, no Russia

You mean 12 Watt, right??
