The
indigenous Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST) system that is under development
for the Indian Air Force Sukhoi Su-30MKI and Tejas Mark 2 fighter jets, has entered
the laboratory testing phase and it will be ready for integration into the Su-30
aircraft within 18 months after completion of the laboratory testing phase.
The indigenous IRST system will replace the Russian-origin OLS-30 system on the entire Su-30 fleet of the IAF from 2026 onwards when it enters full-scale production.
