Whether it is copy, reverse engineered or otherwise, it is Chinese and they will be using it in huge numbers.

That is the bottomline!

One has to give it to the Chinese that they can reverse engineer and that is not an easy thing to do either!

Their aim is clear - they have to catch up - by hook or by crook!

Indian defence technology attract global attention in Singapore

State-of-the-art Indian defence technology, including unmanned aerial vehicle "Rustom" and pilot-less target aircraft " Lakhsya", have attracted strong interests from several countries, including Brazil, Canada and Israel, a top DRDOofficial said here today.

"We have delegates visiting the Indian pavilion and expressing keen interest in our core technologies," Parimal Kumar, additional director of the Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO) told reporters at the Singapore Air Show which opened here today.
He said Indian defence technology have attracted strong interests from Brazil, Canada, Israel, Jordan, Japan, Myanmar, Singapore and Japan at the Air Show from February 14-19.

Mark Strasser, Senior Trade Commissioner at the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi, said he saw "a good potential" for collaboration between India and Canada in developing these technology further.

"It is a two-way business we just cannot be just supplying our products but has to consider other's specialty and expertise," he said underlining the great potential for collaboration between Indian and Canadian technology to further enhance the defence products.

Kumar said the international experts were studying and evaluating the technology on display at the show.

Taking a broad overview of the exhibition, Indian Civil Aviation Secretary Nasim Zaidi also emphasized the need to collaborate in high-tech products with international players.

Lockheed Martin's Fighting Falcon Evolves With New F-16V



SINGAPORE, Feb. 15, 2012 –

Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] unveiled a new version of the F-16 today at the Singapore Airshow. The F-16V will feature enhancements including an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, an upgraded mission computer and architecture, and improvements to the cockpit – all capabilities identified by the U.S. Air Force and several international customers for future improvements.

With nearly 4,500 F-16s delivered, this is a natural step in the evolution of the world's most successful 4th generation fighter. The Fighting Falcon program has continually evolved as it began with the F-16 A/B as the lightweight fighter then transitioned to F-16 C/D and Block 60 versions as customers' requirements changed.

AESA radars offer significant operational capability improvements. Lockheed Martin has developed an innovative solution to affordably retrofit this key technology into existing F-16s. The F-16V configuration is an option for new production jets and elements of the upgrade are available to most earlier-model F-16s. The "V" designation is derived from Viper, the name fighter pilots have called the F-16 from its beginnings.

"We believe this F-16V will satisfy our customers' emerging requirements and prepare them to better interoperate with the 5th generation fighters, the F-35 and F-22," said George Standridge, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics' vice president of business development.
The F-16 is the choice of 26 nations. The F-16 program has been characterized by unprecedented international cooperation among governments, air forces and aerospace industries.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 123,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2011 were $46.5 billion.
