    Zhuk-ME was optimized for sea searching from the starting and it has horizontal polarization of the wave. As to BARS modernization, the NIIP chief said allready some year aro ('Take-Off' RUssian journal), that Indians asked NIIP for AESA installation on BARS instead of PESA. The deel was no finalized then, but at avarage it's clear for him that the 1st stage must be only electronnic hardware/software upgrade , while the 2nd stage - will be Bars-AESA indeed.

    About 'Sea Dragon' I'll try to find some specs...
