Hi Jha -

I dont have a proper link as of now on the Indo-Isreli JV on NRUAV (Naval rotary UAV), but below are some links for the time being..

Indian Navy developing new generation UAV

LiveFist - The Best of Indian Defence: NorthropGrumman Tells Indian Navy, "NRUAV Not Mature, Buy FireScout Instead"

IAI Introduces a Naval Rotary UAV at IMDEX 09

an extract from the above link..

MALAT unveiled here the Maritime Naval Rotary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (NRUAV) being developed with under cooperation with India. In fact, the platform for the first NRUAV is the Chetak (Alouette III), widely used by the Indian Navy. The helicopter could be deployed for mission of 6 hours, up to a distance of 120 km from the launching vessel.

Here is the link on bharat rakhshak on how it looks.

Mods please change the Thread topic to

[jha]

Just a kind request to serious posters...please lets try to keep the thread as clean as possible and carry forward the technical discussions more...

I meant the NRUAV that will be developed for IN:

Here the IAI brochure:

Israel already have much experience with unmanned systems and would be a good partner for a UCAV development.

Final Configuration Tejas To Fly In August

India’s fifth limited series production (LSP-5) Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) will fly in the first week of August.

P.S. Subramanyam, program director for combat aircraft and director of the Bengaluru-based Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), tells AVIATION WEEK that designers, engineers and scientists from ADA and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. are working together to make the LSP-5 a complete, final configuration platform.

“We are aiming for an August first week flight, and slight modifications to the cockpit are being done now in mutual consultations with the test pilots from National Flight Test Center. These modifications will make Tejas a complete services version,” Subramanyam says.

Air Marshal P.K. Barbora, vice chief of the Indian Air Force (IAF), says it is important for any fighter jet program to develop cockpits that fulfill pilots’ growing needs.

“It’s all about how fast you can execute a mission,” Barbora says. “Here the hand-eye coordination becomes crucial and you should also be able to move around your hands the way you normally do.”

LSP-5 will be the 11th platform to join the flight line, and ADA is planning to make LSP-6 a completely experimental aircraft.

“We are confident of LSP-7 in September 2010 and the final LSP-8 in December 2010, paving [the] way for the initial operational clearance,” Subramanyam says.

The Tejas program received a major boost following ADA’s establishment of a project monitoring team consisting of IAF experts, headed by Air Vice Marshal Shankar Mani. “These people are the pacemakers, and there’s a definite boost to [the] program after their involvement two-and-a-half years back,” Subramanyam says.

The Ministry of Defense, which recently announced a series of reforms in the Defense Research and Development Organization, is also planning a Mk-II version of Tejas, which features an engine with more thrust. ADA is hoping to fly the Tejas Mk-II by December 2014.

I guess the initial ones will come at slower rate as they test new system, so includes testing time, also they cannot do parallel manufacturing at that time.

 

[gowthamraj]

One question for limited series aircraft-6 to be experimental, he says then how it inducted in first sq

 

[Sri]

I think IOC does not require full squadron strength. E.g. only 4 Mig 29K were inducted. I think by IOC there will be atleast 6 aircrafts available for induction.

Seniors pl comment.
