‘Angad’, ‘Uttam’ to replace imported systems in indigenous LCA fighter jets

India’s indigenously developed Light Combat Aircraft (LCA)-Mark1A will be equipped with the ‘Uttam’ radar and ‘Angad’ electronic warfare suite, replacing the previously imported systems. The Indian Air Force has ordered 83 LCA Mark 1A fighter jets and plans to order 97 more in the future. The Uttam radar and Angad electronic warfare suite are being developed domestically, which will increase the indigenous content of the aircraft and save foreign exchange.
