Despite of buying out all licenses regarding Dornier HAL has been unable to develop an state of art Dornier aircraft which can be modified for a multitude of missions. Its still 90's technology. They might have added some GPS so as to find the ac when it goes down.

Any other country would have exploited this ac to its fullest potential.
