India Goes for Embraer Airframe W/ Swedish Radar for Smaller AEW&c

It will use the EMB-145 airframe with a SAAB Erieye phased array radar (see below), and will supplement the larger AEW Il-76s with the Israel with Elta Phalcon phased-array radar (bottom).

This should amount to signifiant improvement in their airborne command and control capabilities.
