LCA AF Mk1 FRIGHTER & TRAINER

Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Defence is the nodal agency for the design and development of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) whose principal partner is Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Indian Air Force, Indian Navy, DGAQA, BEL, various DRDO and CSIR Laboratories, Private and Public Sector undertakings and several academic institutions have actively participated and contributed to this truly national venture which has directly and indirectly bridged major technological gaps in several disciplines.

TEJAS, the Indian Light Combat Aircraft is the smallest, lightest, multi-role supersonic aircraft in the world and is one among the best in its class. This single seat, single engine, highly agile, tailless tactical fighter with compound delta wing is designed primarily for ‘air combat’ and ‘offensive air support’ with ‘reconnaissance’ and ‘anti ship’ as its secondary roles.

Today we have two Technology Demonstrators (TDs), Five Prototype Vehicles (PVs) which includes Two Twin Seater / Trainer, Seven Limited Series Production Vehicles (LSP) and two Naval Prototypes are undergoing Flight Trials. The LCA Tejas Series Production-1 (SP1) was handed over by Defence Minister to Indian Air Force. Initial block of flight testing of Naval variant of LCA was successfully completed. A significant milestone of the maiden ski jump launch of the first LCA Navy Prototype was successfully carried out at Goa in Dec 2014. The progress of the Tejas is well marked by completion of Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) leading to the delivery of the first Series Production (SP1) aircraft to the IAF. The programme is triumphantly moving towards certification for Final Operational Clearance (FOC).An operational type trainer / two seat aircraft for Tejas AF Mk1; has been developed by ADA and its partners - since 2007. Two prototype trainer aircraft are currently undergoing rigorous flight tests.

LCA TRAINER (IAF)

Tejas AF Mk1 Trainer Final Operational Clearance (FOC) target is December 2015. This will include certification for defined flight envelope (Mach, g and AOA), all weather, day & night and armament operations.

LCA NAVY Mk1LCA Navy Programme to design and develop a Carrier Borne Fighter Aircraft was sanctioned in 2003 after the successful initial flight testing of LCA (Air Force) variant, Tejas. Two prototypes, a two seat Trainer (NP1) and a single seat Fighter (NP2) with more internal fuel have been developed in Phase-1 of the programme. These two aircraft will be used as Technology Demonstrators to carry out Carrier Suitability Certification and Air Defence Weapon Integration. After initial testing in a typical Air Force ‘up & away’ flight envelope, Carrier Compatibility Test (CCT) will be carried out in the Shore Based Test Facility (SBTF) built at the Naval Air Station at Goa, replicating an aircraft carrier having Restraining gear and Ski-jump for take-off.

The first LCA Navy prototype, NP1 had its maiden flight on 27 Apr 2012, and initial flight testing was completed. The Aircraft has flown in supersonic speed, integrated with Centre Line Drop Tank and flown successfully in various manouevres.

Np1 aircraft has successfully made its maiden Ski-jump Take-off from the Shore Based Test Facility (SBTF) at Goa on 20 Dec 2014. The aircraft is currently undergoing next phase of flight testing.

The second prototype and the first Naval fighter version NP2 has successfully completed its maiden flight on 7th Feb 2015.

Once proved ashore, aircraft is cleared for flights on the Carrier for its carrier compatibility.

RADARS & EW SYSTEMS

WEAPON LOCATING RADAR (WLR)Immediate weapon location and neutralisation is the key to modern battlefield superiority. The location of enemy weapon on the first round itself before the enemy can adjust and fire accurately onto our targets or relocate to a new position, is crucial for our own troop survival; effective counter battery fire demands, target acquisition and tracking of projectiles and accurate computation of enemy weapon position. WLR is designed and developed to fill this need. It locates modern, long-range artillery at or beyond the weapon’s effective range. It operates in a high-denisty fire environment. The indigenous WLR, configured on a wheeled vehicle, has an all-weather capability. It has high-mobility with quick reaction time. The product is a spin off of the Phased Array technology development for ‘Rajendra’ Radar. The performance of WLR is comparable to any radar of its class in the world.

XV 2004 (MARITIME PATROL AIRBORNE RADAR)XV-2004 is a versatile maritime surveillance airborne radar system delivering excellent performances in search, rescue and maritime surveillance missions. The radar is easily adaptable to multiple platforms to search, detect and track multiple targets at long range. The radar has good sea clutter suppression features to detect small targets. In addition to the standard air to surface search modes with TWS, this radar provides high resolution range signature and ISAR image of the target which enables the user to classify the intercepted target. There is an air to air mode to detect and track aerial targets. Other modes include coastal mapping, weather, beacon and navigation.

RADARS & EW SYSTEMSAIRBORNE EARLY WARNING AND CONTROL SYSTEM

AEROSTAT SYSTEMS An Aerostat is a Lighter than Air system that can stay stationary in the air and are tethered to ground. Aerostat balloon derives a lifting force mainly by the buoyant effect that results from displacement of the higher density air surrounding it. The gas used is helium because it is safest as being inert and is not inflammable. Ground based sensors have limited line of sight (LOS) range due to the limitations posed by earth’s curvature. Mounting these sensors on elevated platforms could increase the LOS range. Aerostats act as proven platforms for these sensors especially in surveillance and communication role for a variety of civil and military applications.

The Indian Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) System can detect, identify and classify threats present in the surveillance area and can act as a Command and Control to support different air operations. The system with its multiple Communication and Data Links can alert and direct fighters against threats, while providing ‘Recognizable Air Surface Picture’ (RASP) to commanders at the Ground Exploitation Stations (GES) that are strategically located. The AEW&C system can thus support in the offensive strike missions and assist Forces in the tactical battle area. The India AEW&C system also comprises Electronic and Communication Support Measures that can intercept and classify unfriendly radar transmissions and communication signals.
