5th generation fighter aircraft will fly in march next: Adviser

Bangalore, June 14: The country's 'ambitious' fifth generation fighter aircraft will fly during March next, the information to this effect was given by M Natarajan, Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister on Saturday.

Efforts were on to identify a Russian company to provide weapons and electronic warfare systems, Natarajan, who is also the secretary, Defence Research and Development Organisation, said while participating in the inauguration of the Defence avionics research establishment's new campus here.

Conceptualisation studies have begun on Medium Combat Aircraft (MCA) he said.

"We are in the process of evolving a design for MCA", Natarajan said.

LCA has great potential notwithstanding problems, he said and added they were being attended to.

DRDO director R P Ramalingam, in his welcome address, said it would be Field-testing the fourth generation electronic warfare systems in about 18 months for Mig 27 and LCA.

There was also a possibility of extending the tests to fifth generation fighter aircraft, he said.

Even EW systems for LCA will be ready in two years.

Forget about creating MCA.

 

[Khalsa]

This is Bull****, there is no way they can accomplish this. For the love of God the LCA is still in development phase and they are talking about MCA.

 

[Flintlock]

Why is everyone so aghast? The DRDO is following its schedule, that's all.

There is no reason to stall all the other projects while the LCA is under development.

These are basic things, guys, comeon.

the support facilities built for the LCA (because of which the LCA got delayed) were built in view of the MCA and subsequent processes.

There's not to worry.The LCA has an operational EW System which is the Israeli Elisra EW Suite and within One and half years Mayawi EW suite would be ready.

As far MCA is concerned the officials said that work is on so it will be on time.
