LCA Tejas Mk-II To Have Indigenous AESA Radar

Only been hearing about the E F414 that will power the LCA Tejas Mk-II, never heard anything about the radar, but at the recently concluded International Conference on Energising Aerospace Industry, got to know that the AESA will be on the Mk-II, indigenously built, making the Mk-II a full-fledged multirole fighter, besides other stuff like new avionics and airframe.

Right now under design and conception stage, the radar will have some help from outside, but largely home-built.

Indigenous content on the Mk-II will be 75 per cent. First flightof Mk-II expected in 2013 and induction into the IAF approximately by 2015.

Chindits: LCA Tejas Mk-II To Have Indigenous AESA Radar

If just thinking about can get you all you wanted. DRDO makes big claims and lot of times unrealistic. This is specially true for LCA program. Just saying, we will have it does not mean we will. Sancho is right.

India Developing New AESA Radar for Light Combat Aircraft | Defense News | defensenews.com

India will mount a homemade active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar on the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mark-2, Indian Air Force sources said. However the LCA is nearly 15 years behind schedule, and the Mark-2 prototype is not expected to fly until 2013.

India’s Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is developing the AESA radar for the LCA-Mark-2, sources said. They did not reveal to what extent it will indigenous, but said overseas help will be sought for the radar’s completion.

The Indian content of the LCA Mark-2 will be about 70 percent, according to one scientist with the DRDO’s Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), which spearheads LCA development.

The LCA Mark-1, which is due for induction in 2013-2014, will not be used for combat because it does not have the required thrust. The Mark-2, however, will be powered by the General Electric F414 engine and the aircraft has added two tons to the LCA’s original weight of eight tons.

ADA had to look overseas for a suitable engine for the Mark-2 because of technical snags in the development of the Indian-made Kaveri engine.

The Air Force has ordered 20 LCA Mark-1 aircraft and is likely to order more then 200 LCA Mark-2s once the aircraft is inducted into service.

The single-seat, single-engine LCA is an advanced technology supersonic, multirole, air-superiority fighter designed for air-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-sea combat. Proposed in 1983, the LCA entered full-scale engineering development in 1993.

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. is the principal producer of the LCA.

An Israeli Radar in India’s Jet Fighter

Will the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) being developed in India be equipped with an advanced radar system developed in Israel? The chances for that have increased in the recent days. Sources in India have informed that the Indian Air Force which is acquiring the LCA is interested in having it equipped with an AESA radar. Such a radar has been developed and is being produced by Elta, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, which is considered among the most advanced of its kind throughout the world.

While the Indian LCA project is suffering from a 15-year delay beyond the original schedules, it is nevertheless continuing. The 2nd prototype is expected to take flight only next year. The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) at India’s Ministry of Defense is developing an electronic scanning radar, but the Indian sources said that the developers will need foreign assistance. The aircraft is equipped with a US engine after the engine developed for it in India did not provide the necessary thrust. At this stage, India ordered 200 LCA MK2 aircraft - the advanced version of the aircraft - from the Indian defense industry.

AESA radars are considered the most advanced radars for jet fighters, and they improve the aircraft’s ability to detect aerial targets. In the past, the Ministry of Defense has prevented Elta from offering the new radar for export, but this was changed since several manufacturers, including US manufacturers, are offering them around the world.

According to the sources, the close military procurement relations between Israel and India allow for a good possibility of cooperation in developing the Indian radar that will be installed on the LCA.

Neither, it's just being kept up by the hot air you seem to be queefing out.

Any one know what happened to LSP-6 and 8. no news from LCA testing from a long time

I agree; no news for a long time.

From experiences in the past, usually, when their is no news for a while... a big news follows. It could be unveling a GE-414 integrated LCA or a BVR integration on the LCA.

Naval Tejas has done 6 test flights .... I am also keen to know, what is being tested now ... and how far is the Naval Tejas from a ski-jump takeoff (from the Goa shore-based ski jump facility) or an AC simulated landing for Naval Tejas.

First you make a simple Auto Rickshaw then troll..

You mean the actual that run on road or just toy model ???

 

[Storm Force]

THIS PLANE IS MUCH DELAYED

But with a enlongated fuselarge,
New USA GE414 engine with 100kt thrust

AND A AESA radar with israeli help IT is going to be some fighter

LCA + AESA = Biggest joke in the world


so heavy and big Aesa rader, can LCA II fly?

If one has to reply you in your style
You learn some English
Your English = Shame your comrade = no 50 cent

Only India need to learn English

Many Western people learning Chinese now

We Chinese is the most people spoken English in the world

hahaha

by the way, Light LCA + Heavy and Big AESA = The biggest joke in the world
