New Delhi has reportedly turned down a Brazilian request to incorporate domestically produced sensors into the final configuration of the Akash NG surface-to-air missile (SAM) system. Brazil had proposed replacing the Indian radar with its M200 Multimissão radar, a product developed from the M60 radar. The South American nation argued that the M200 would be better suited for low-altitude coverage and would offer enhanced multi-target capabilities.

However, India has insisted on maintaining the Akash NG’s original configuration, which includes an advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) multi-function radar capable of search, track, and fire control functions. This radar system is seen as a key component of the missile system’s overall effectiveness.

The Akash NG is an upgraded version of the earlier Akash system, offering significantly improved capabilities. With a range of 40 km, it can engage up to 10 targets simultaneously, providing ten times better area defense compared to its predecessor.

India’s decision to maintain the original configuration of the Akash NG suggests a strong commitment to the system’s indigenous development and capabilities. While the Brazilian proposal aimed to enhance the system, New Delhi appears to have prioritized the integrity of the domestically developed technology.
