Israel Aerospace Industries is in the process of converting its second Ilyushin Il-76 transport into an airborne early warning and control system aircraft for the Indian air force. It expects to hand over the completed platform in mid-2010.

The delivery schedule for India's third modified Il-76 has meanwhile slipped into 2011. IAI is equipping the type with AEW and electronic subsystem equipment provided by its Elta Systems subsidiary under a $1.1 billion deal previously expected to be completed late next year.

India's defence ministry is seeking proposals to bolster its air force's AEW capabilities, with a purchase of additional converted Il-76s, or smaller platforms such as a modified Gulfstream G550 business jet among possible solutions. The aircraft could also be used to perform secondary tasks such as electronic intelligence-gathering missions, say industry sources.

India's first Il-76-based AEW system entered air force service in May 2009 after a delivery delay of around 18 months.

Israel is an all-weather ally of India. From Tavor automatic rifles, to Barak missiles, to RISAT-2 spy satellite, to Phalcon radar systems - Israel is truly a reliable supplier of military hardware.

According to the Federation of American Scientists, IAI Phalcon 707 are the world's most advanced Airborne Early Warning, Command and Control (AEWC&C) systems.

Surely, with this system in its arsenal, the IAF's effectiveness will increase multiple times.
