HAL launches its own upgraded Hawk aircraft

[Surya 1]

In a major fillip, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has rolled out the first indigenously upgraded Hawk Mk132, named as Hawk-i trainer aircraft.

“This is the 100th Hawk aircraft produced at HAL and we are proud that it has the “Make in India” mark. HAL had conceived a programme for indigenous upgradation of the Hawk Mk132 for achieving self-reliance and has successfully accomplished it”, says T. Suvarna Raju, CMD, HAL.

This aircraft would be on the flying display in the forthcoming Aero-India 2017 at Bengaluru. The upgrade of HAWK Aircraft was taken up at HAL so as to be independent in matters such as integration of new sub-systems or modifications, obsolescence management of avionics systems and to enhance the aircraft operational and training capabilities. HAL has rolled out its own aircraft with the upgrade features in a record time.

According to HAL, in the Hawk upgradation programme, imported Mission Computer and Data Transfer Units have been substituted with HAL designed and developed systems. This indigenous Mission Computer in the dual redundant configuration has additional capabilities such as Digital Map Generation (DMG) which provides improved situational awareness. The Embedded Virtual Training System (EVTS) offers improved training capability over the existing system.



“HAWK-i also provides a secured voice communication and data link capability by integration of Softnet Radio and pilots can configure and select cockpit Human Machine Interface (HMI) for different aircraft platforms,” HAL official said.

Pah...atleast TRY to keep some tabs on what's happening outside of the little well you live in. All these made by HAL...

HT-2 (served, retired)

HPT-32 Deepak (served, retired)

HTT-34 (developed, but didn't serve)

HJT-16 Kiran (still in service)

HJT-36 Sitara (unlikely to be ordered as IAF is having doubts about the whole 'Intermediate training' category, but hey we made it anyway)

HTT-40 (with deal for additional PC-7s not getting anywhere, upto 120 of these will be required by IAF alone. Some more by IN)

Also we had HTT-35 and HJT-39 concepts which were abandoned in favor of better, readily-available foreign trainers.

And you, my dear? What have you built besides your bloated, misplaced ego??

Before you jump up like a maniac and shout "Supah Mushaaakkkk"...please dedicate some brain cells of your's (if you have any) to know that your MFI-17 Mushak is a licensed Saab MFI-17 Supporter, which you bought and then license-built. Agreed you may have made some improvements (if we can call them that), and 'developed' the newer PAC Super Mushak and started calling it indigenous...but by that measure, even this Hawk-i that HAL just rolled out is also an indigenous Indian aircraft! LOL.

Yes, and in Indo pak war, soldiers with swords came to fight with Indian army. BBC has a proof of that. Lal topi on loose. Pakistan has a big fan club of him.
