it depends upon ToT package ie(money) well no moneythen no honey baby- The production chain of GaN modules will be validated in 2013.
- A Spectra demonstrator using GaN modules is expected in 2014.
Wonder if we could get the GaN modules for SPECTRA to include them in our licence produced versions from 2016 onwards???
may be browne uncle would clear ur queriesI have 2 queries regarding Rafale:
1. Will the contract be signed for only 126 a/c with 63 in the option clause (which IAF will use for certain) or all 189 will be signed at once?
Livefist: No Rumours, MMRCA Well On Track: IAF ChiefThe IAF chief said the primary contract would be only for 126 aircraft, and that the 50 per cent options clause (63 additional aircraft) had not been decided on yet, but was available.
again the same answer2. Will the a/c delivered to IAF be just the latest version of Rafale or will it be tailor made according to the IAF's requirements, i mean a MKI'sed version of Rafale (having Israeli, Indian, Russian systems along with French)?
rather aesa radar india better install french scenema engines on LCA mark 2 & AMCAAnd I always said, that we should not waste time and money on indigenous AESAs, but take the RBE 2 AESA for LCA MK2 aswell and co-develop a version with GaN modules for Rafale upgrades and AMCA. Easier and with more potential, but pride might play a big role here.

but Spectra NG should india opt for (IMO)

3. 11 ac/ year is supplied by Dassault to French AF & Navy????? how will it fulfill IAF's (or in later year IN's) demand???
P.S. If ever Rafale will be offered to British AF in place of F-35s, than British PM David Cameron will be the happiest man on earth, he will be saying to himself - "And I was pitching for Eurofighter Typhoon to the IAF.....duh...."
