Raytheon open to offering AESA radar for India's LCA
Paris, June 18 (PTI): The US defence major Raytheon is open to offering its sophisticated AESA radar capable of tracking targets in the air and on the ground for India's fighter jet fleet provided the US government approves such a move, a top official of the company has said.

The technology and its applications can be adapted for different platforms, including new aircraft like the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), and retrofitted on older aircraft like the Indian Air Force's existing fleet of jets, said Michael Henchey, director of business development for Raytheon's Tactical Airborne Systems.

"The technology is scalable and we could scale the electronic antenna of the AESA radar to put it in the LCA," Henchey told PTI here on the sidelines of the Paris Air Show.

He, however, made it clear that the transfer of such technology would depend totally on negotiations between the Indian and US governments as well as the level of the active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar technology that Washington would be willing to share with New Delhi.

"It would all depend on the country to country negotiations," he said, adding the US State Department and the Pentagon would have to give their approval for such a proposal.

Unlike conventional radars, AESA radars can track dozens of targets on the ground and transmit the information to ground stations and other aircraft to provide a near real time picture of the battlefield. They can also be used in an electronic warfare role. The AESA radar also forms a key part of the US's efforts to pitch the F-16 and F-18 combat jets for India's planned purchase of 126 fighters.

Henchey said the AESA radar had been fitted to the US Air Force's F-15s in 2000 and the US Navy's F/A-18s would be equipped with it by next year. "In December last year, US jets equipped with AESA radars made a map of an area and transmitted the file to the ground in less than a tenth of a second," he said.

Raytheon, he said, was also looking to partner Indian defence firms in view of New Delhi's 30 per cent offsets policy for all defence deals worth over Rs 300 crore. "We have already tied up with Tata Power and will announce some more partnerships with Indian firms later this year," said Henchey.

Um ressentimento latino, especialmente brasileiro é de que os EUA “freian” o desenvolvimento militar ou tecnologico da região.

Uma analise mais esmiussada das relações americanas com a região, nos conduz a uma conclusão mais interessante.

Os EUA simplesmente ignoram a América Latina no que tange tanto ao auxilio quando a obstrução do fornecimento de meios e tecnologias militares.

Enquanto em alguns tabuleiros de xadrez mais complicados como:

As relações americanas no oriente médio com Israel, Egito, Jordania e Arabia Saudita, e com o proprio Iraque antes da guerra de 1991.

As relações americanas com o Paquistão, a necessidade de uma aproximação com a India, ou a questão com Taiwan.

As relações com paises satelites da Russia, ex-membros do pacto de Varsovia.

Nestes cenários asiaticos, europeus, ou do oriente médio, a presença americana é muito ativa, acendendo uma vela para Deus outra para o Diabo, porem garantindo algum equilibrio que sustente os interesses americanos na região.

Na América Latina, com a sua eterna bananice militar e politica, as relações são mais burocraticas, quase que uma simples tabela de itens a serem negociados, itens a serem negados.

A América Latina é previsivel, mesmo cararemos politicos como Hugo Chaves são meros tiranos de botique, sem grandes impactos aos interesses americanos.

Durante a guerra fria, tudo que os EUA queriam evitar seriam pontos de presença soviéticas na América Central, portos e bases aereas que pudesem obrigar os EUA a abrir uma frente militar ao sul dos EUA continental, ou atrapalhar o comercio pelo canal do Panamá.

A Russia já não é mais a URSS, os maiores desafios americanos na região são a produção de coca em dois ou tres paises o que nem de longe representa um desafio para a politica externa americana.

Despreso, despreparo, falta de “tesão” em enteder a América Latina, estes são os adjetivos para classificar a postura americana para a região.
