From NAL annual report: The laboratory received a Rs. 60-crore purchase order from HAL, Bangalore, for the supply of twenty sets of 13 critical CFC components for series production of LCA-Tejas aircraft; the order is being executed through M/s Tata Advanced Materials Ltd.

From NAL annual report: The National Control Law team jointly with the different groups of FMCD, CSIR-NAL continued to play a leadership role in the activities related to the Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) control laws of the LCA-Tejas. airforce fighter variant. A simulation model of the fighter aircraft was developed incorporating the rigid body dynamics (airframe split into seven components), air data system and flight control laws to clear LCA-Tejas for wake penetration. The flight model was embedded into the Engineer-inLoop Simulator at NAL for pilots to practice the flight test profiles for wake penetration trials. The simulator was also used for evaluations of
the auto-throttle mode, the Autopilot and high Angle-of-Attack studies; Figure attached shows the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS) incorporated in the visuals for LCA Navy variant simulation.

Currently any test is going on or not......

LCA Tejas Mk-II To Have Indigenous AESA Radar

Only been hearing about the E F414 that will power the LCA Tejas Mk-II, never heard anything about the radar, but at the recently concluded International Conference on Energising Aerospace Industry, got to know that the AESA will be on the Mk-II, indigenously built, making the Mk-II a full-fledged multirole fighter, besides other stuff like new avionics and airframe.

Right now under design and conception stage, the radar will have some help from outside, but largely home-built.

Indigenous content on the Mk-II will be 75 per cent. First flightof Mk-II expected in 2013 and induction into the IAF approximately by 2015.

Yes I also learnt from a few insider sources on IDF that MK-2 LCA will have indigenous AESA, not the
Vixen-850e.





^^From Astra Microwave Ltd. Column #4.

Experimental T/R modules for X-band AESA already supplied for testing!

Astra Microwave Products Pvt. Ltd. is a Hyderabad-based private electronics company that works in
collaboration with DRDO for radars and electronic warfare systems.

Suman sharma did not listen to Saraswat's interview. He clearly said LCA mark II will have nothing but indigenous AESA. It will have the same dimensions as the MMR and can be replaced even if its delayed by some time. they had already developed a TR module 1/8th the size of current one for this. Expect back end to be Elta 2032 one at least for some time. I read somewhere that production LCA will have back end Indian one and 2032 out. Can some one confirm this.

The problem is only, that he is far away from beeing a reliable source! He is just promoting the work of DRDO, no matter how good or bad it really is. They didn't have the puls doppler MMR for LCA ready by now and you really think that they will provide a useful AESA till 2015 when the production of the first LCAs and N-LCAs should start?
Guess why MoD/IAF considered about a partnership with an international partner, preferably ELTA?
So lets leave the hot air of DRDO and the media speculation out of this, cause from the current point, we only know that it will be a multi mode radar, but not of what kind!

This should be good to see-hope they stick to it!

brother first th LCA need to fly on sky otherwise AESA radar will be useless
hope it will be in the sky without help of TaTa nano

No ................. we are trying to hire some bangladeshi experts to paul volt it from the run ways ..........

 

[KRAIT]

Information thread like LCA, FGFA, INS Vikramaditya etc. should get equivalent Moderation like done in JF-17 thread.

 

[Asskicker]

What is the current status of LCA....?.Induct them atleast for the sake of our dignity man

 

[LuCiFeR_DeCoY]

you can agree or not but India cannt develop a LCA,,,Its not TaTa nano like job
better focus on another TaTa NaNo
no offense

I hope India will produce some LCA before 2050
finger crossed

India produced LCA as early as 2001

But you can wait till 3050 to believe so
