Interesting news for IN?

Super Hornets will be able to launch their own UAVs

...Among the potential improvements for jet models E and F is the ability to launch and control unmanned aerial vehicles. Boeing engineers are working on the development of avionics that would allow Super Hornets could take along a drone similar to the latest version of the Insitu ScanEagle UAV, dubbed "compressed-carriage Scan Eagle," in a small compartment on the plane, said Mike Gibbons, vice president of operations for the F/A-18 jets and growlers E/A-18G company.

A Super Hornet pilot can here a while launching the drone from a safe distance from a target on the ground, like the ScanEagle, direct it and access the data in real time with the target drone, Gibbons said...

...While Boeing has no official contracts to install these features in any of its Super Hornets, is conducting research and development to ensure that she can do so if a client requests.

"When international customers buy the Super Hornets, can adapt it to their needs," as they evolve, taking advantage of new features that Boeing is investigating, said Chris Chadwick, director of the division of Boeing military aircraft during a meeting with journalists on June 7.

Boeing expects this upgrade, "Flight Plan" will keep the jet as an option for "high performance, low cost" for countries seeking to replace its fleet of F/A-18 Hornet existing - or new customers in the East East and Asia...

IAI and Airbus Negotiate


These upgrade developments will be available by the time IN would induct IAC2, which makes them a possible offer for the Super Hornets Boeing offers for that carrier, especially to compete the F35C.
Similarly, Elta could now not only offer the expensive G550 Phalcon AWACS to IN for their shore based AWACS requirement, but also this more cost-effective and comparable offer to the E-2D.
