Crucial EW trials on Tejas next month

Tejas-trial.jpg


Following successful weapon release trials in Jamnagar in July, the Tejas programme is speeding towards another crucial milestone with electronic warfare trials to take place in November.The entire gamut of electronic warfare systems on board the first prototype vehicle PV-1 will be put through a series of tests towards operational clearance.

Systems that will be checked out include radar warning receivers, jamming suites, self-protection suites, electronic countermeasures (ECM) and other systems. The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) is in the process of checking out the PV-1 to ensure that it is ready in all respects for the electronic warfare (EW) flight trials. The airframe flew first in November 2003, and was replaced in the test programme after less than 250 flights as a result of consistent improvements in the later prototypes and limited series production airframes.

It says November in the article and says next month in the title. :close_tema: I'm assuming the testing was delayed by a few months.

Currently high altitude trials are going on in Leh and not EW trials. Its done. After high altitude trials, tejas will again go for weapon trails in Jamnagar(BVR trails this time) which is essential to get FOC later this year.
