Type 83 is more likely to use a British AESA radar than Aegis

How likely is Aegis to equip Type 83?

Unlikely in this assessment, because Britain is developing its own AESA radars. Fixed panels and their number of faces remain possibilities under discussion.

Aegis is considered unlikely because Britain is already working on its own next-generation active electronically scanned array radar. Fixed panels are under discussion, with three- and four-face arrangements mentioned. A six-face arrangement is reported as another idea heard in discussions. The final radar configuration remains open.
