Israeli super radars set to give LCA fighter jet enhanced combat capability

[Ultima Thule]

@Indian wonk leave this guy alone....

i like your statistics very much... i see china in each category. India is also catching up ...good work guys

truth hurt isn't you troll @北京烤鴨 and by the way its quite shame to your real flag you false flagger @北京烤鴨 and use this @北京烤鴨

Engines from a western source.
Air frame from a western source
Radar from Israel.

I want an Asian country other than China which can make an LBF (Low Bypass turbofan)
I want an Asian country other than China , Japan and Israel that can make an AESA radar which can fit the nosecone of a fighter aircraft .

Don't worry India is working on both.

The radar in question was a prototype with GaAs. The production variant is GaN with DBF.

We had already prototyped GaN back in 2011.



Well, of course. India needs 700-800 new fighter jets. It won't be fulfilled with Tejas alone.

As for the LCA program, there are now two jets. One is the LCA Mk1A, Gripen C class, and the other is a new MCA, Gripen E class. The MCA is the one that replaced the F-16/Gripen E competition.

So the IAF will be procuring 123 Mk1A, 201 MCA and 200 Rafale.



The 2052 radar is already operational and being integrated on IAF Jaguars as we speak. Saab is still some years away from actually flight testing and operationalizing their radar. Isn't that proof enough?



Lol making up shit as usual.

You have no clue what will happen, until India makes a decision, and then after that,
they need to place an order. If the order is not cancelled, and IAF takes deliveries,
THEN You can make the types of comments You make above.

Plenty of Indians who make bold statements like that, like they had a clue.

The Raven GaAs based AESA radar is a codevelopment between SAAB and Leonardo.
SAAB has an GaN AESA Radar flying in GlobalEye, proving they can handle GaN tranceivers.
They have working pulse doppler radar, with stealth detection capability, proving they have the backend algorithms in place, They have stopped the fighter radar, at the stage where they need to have the physical dimensions right for a certain fighter.
They are way ahead of ELTA, which uses an old fashioned technology.

Kaveri is a Low Bypass Ratio after burning turbofan engine featuring a six-stage core high-pressure (HP) compressor with variable inlet guide vanes (IGVs), a three-stage low-pressure (LP) compressor with transonic blading, an annular combustion chamber, and cooled single-stage HP and LP turbines.

Dry thrust - 52 KN
Wet thrust - 82 KN
( Not enough for high g , high alpha maneuver for Tejas) . It also had other problems related to metallurgy like using directionally solidified blade which couldn't handle high TeT ( Turbine entry temp ).

your forget there no Indian indigenous engine so which can exceed dry thrust of 50 KN lets wait for few more when kaveri comes out with help of french companies @Indian wonk '

I don't think jinns created this

Since when did the airframe come from a western source?

initial Feasibility reports & R&D by frech company Dassault in late 80's @randomradio

Kaveri going for high altitude test in Russia.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you referring to MCA?

There were originally supposed to be two tenders, one for Gripen and the other for Rafale. The tender for Gripen was canceled. The new tender is for twin engine jets now.

Since the IAF has now delayed the FGFA decision by a few years, they decided to give HAL a deal for 201 MCAs, an aircraft that will replace the Gripen.

If you want better sources, then here's one, the HAL Chief himself.
http://indianexpress.com/article/in...etter-than-pakistans-says-drdo-chief-5083268/
Speaking of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, Christopher said HAL had already got an order to manufacture 123 LCAs. “In addition to that, the air force has given in writing another 201 aircraft, which is the next version, that we call as Mark-II. We are working on it and by 2022 it will be flying,” he said.

Arent the french going to help you sort out problems with kaveri provided you buy more rafaels?

How many countries in Asia in the 80s who could ab-initio design an aircraft --- Zero

but it is the testing phase in France not in its intended platform your Tej@$$ red this wikipedia article it clear all thing in your mind

Nobody knows .

If Dassault actually designed the jet, then we wouldn't have taken so long to finish flight testing.

Dassault got kicked out after they refused to hand over technology, and we developed the airframe on our own. That's why the airframe had so many design issues, something that wouldn't have happened had it been designed by Dassault.

China had this capability a bit limited JAPAN had also this capability in 80s @Indian wonk

Thanks you for clearing me @randomradio

I'm afraid you are making wrong comparisons. Radars on AWACS and radars in fighters are very different and use very different technologies.

Regardless of whether ELTA or SAAB are ahead, the fact is the 2052 is an fully operational radar. Meaning it has finished flight tests in fighter sized aircraft already and can handle functions even at supersonic speeds. Hence a fully operational radar.

http://www.janes.com/article/73095/indian-jaguar-test-flown-with-aesa-radar
India’s state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) claims to have successfully test-flown an Indian Air Force (IAF) SEPECAT Jaguar multirole fighter fitted with an imported active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar in Bangalore on 10 August.

SAAB will have to demonstrate the same before they can claim their radar is ready.

And no, the ELTA radar doesn't have "old-fashioned" technology. The HAL Chief himself said he prefers the ELTA radar over any other competitor's radar.
