What happened
The Indian Air Force's Netra Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) system received Final Operational Clearance. This milestone supports the IAF's ongoing pursuit of indigenous airborne surveillance platforms. The IAF operates two platforms: the tactical Netra AEW&C, built on a smaller aircraft, and the larger Netra Mk2, which is based on the Airbus A321 platform.

Why it matters
The successful operationalization of the Netra AEW&C system highlights the progress of India's indigenous defense technology programs. The IAF requires different airborne early warning systems to serve varied operational roles, including tactical missions and broad area monitoring.
Defence Research and Development Organisation and Aeronautical Development Agency are developing platforms for the Indian Air Force.
