The next phase of the programme, sources said, will be to develop a more powerful and larger system that can be flown on a bigger platform like an Airbus 319/320 or a Boeing in the 777 series.

If the LRDE work revels every thing , isnt that itself a risk as it gives a good idea how things work ?
Malay MTA will be a good platform when its ready , that would take another minimum 5 ~ 8 years.

As long as they don't commercially sell it, they wouldn't even be violating the patent. If you really come up with something new, especially in the defence field, the best thing to do is to just keep it under wraps. Don't publish papers on it or file for patents.

One can still file a patent without disclosing the details publicly, only the patent office will know the details. So technically that will take care of your assertion.

But it is deffinately not nice to hear tham say that they will have an AWACS in the near future . WHy do these guys keep shooting their mouths of everytime . Its very embarassing and misleading to the public and the nation and down right depressing when they dont perform and give excuses.
From what i gather that has been said , a rotodome is going to be used on an embraer platform.This combination has never been used and entails alot of risky flight testing .We know what happened to the awacs that crashed .
The il 76 platform with a rotodome is a proven platform that was tested bythe russians decades ago so that is not a problem .
The EMB 145 does not have the range and height perfomance for an awacs . Thats the reason t he Israeli `s chose the G-550 with a conformal antenna on the sides and antennas on the tail and nose .It can cruise around 50,000 ft . Are the CABS guys trying to reinvent the wheel?.
The best soluton would be to go the Israeli way . trying to make an awacs with a 300km detection rang is just a joke and a waste of taxpayers money.
