I was part of Systems Group (Radar-F division), focused at the development of Primary Radar for Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&CS) for the Indian Air Force.

The group carried out system level design, algorithm development and performance modelling for the Radar signal and data processors.
Spcifically, my contributions were as follows:

• Conducted modeling and simulation of Radar signal processing chain for AEW&CS system
• Simulation airborne Radar performance in the presence of clutter (ground clutter modeling).
• Simulation and performance evaluation for classical and adaptive beamforming for the Radar’s phased array system.
• Implemented C-based detection clustering and map-based algorithm which determines air-sea boundary in real-time.
• In charge for integration and evaluation of Radar Target Simulator (RTS), an automated setup for testing performance parameters and use cases for a Radar system.
• Participated in field trials for the Radar. 20+ Hours of flight test experience.
• Active participant in two Preliminary Design Reviews and one Critical Design Review of Radar systems.
