India is accelerating its efforts to create and introduce sophisticated indigenous airborne early-warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft, commonly referred to as "eyes in the sky." This initiative aims to enhance surveillance and detection capabilities along the China and Pakistan borders while providing guidance to friendly fighters during aerial engagements with enemy jets. The DRDO-IAF collaboration is actively advancing programs for the development of six Mark-1A and six Mark-2 versions of the Netra AEW&C aircraft, with three previously constructed and integrated since February 2017.
