[[Indian Air Force Test Pilot School]] will start final demonstration trial of Uttam AESA radar from December 2021 and if successful will be sent for serial production. As per Project director D Seshagiri of [[Electronics and Radar Development Establishment]] (LRDE), Uttam AESA radar is 95% indigenous, with only one imported subsystem. The radar has the capacity to track 50 targets at a range greater than 100 km while engaging 4 targets simultaneously. All 83 [[HAL_Tejas#Tejas_Mark_1A|Tejas Mark 1A]] and [[HAL AMCA|AMCA]] will come equipped with this radar. Uttam AESA radar will also be installed into upgraded [[Sukhoi Su-30MKI]] and [[Mikoyan MiG-29K]] currently in use as front line platform of [[Indian Air Force]] and [[Indian Navy]]. [[Hindustan Aeronautics Limited]] is the lead integrator and [[Bharat Electronics]] is major supplier of subsystems. LRDE already completed 250 hours of performance testing on two Tejas fighters as well as [[Hawker 800]] executive jet. National Flight Testing Centre had evaluated the radar and cleared it after performance tests. The integration problem of [[Astra (missile)|Astra BVRAAM]] due to older generation of radars will also be solved by Uttam.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Gupta|first=Shishir|date=2021-12-08|title=India develops AESA radar to make IAF fighters more lethal|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/iaf-to-showcase-use-of-indigenous-aesa-radar-101638924141445.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-08|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref>
