BEL modules to Thales for Rafale RBE2 radar

As part of Thales’ offsets commitments under the Rafale India contract, Bharat Electronics Ltd has manufactured T/R (transmit/receive) modules for RBE2 radars for the Dassault Aviation Rafale and delivered them to Thales.

Thales is an active stakeholder in the Make in India policy, and in the offsets conditions included in the Rafale India programme. In November 2020, the first RBE2 AESA (active electronic scanning array) radar with front-end manufactured by BEL in India was delivered by Thales to Dassault Aviation. BEL implemented a set of rigorous processes at its Bangalore facility in order to achieve this key milestone.
