It was HAL design team which created MARUT , which was junked because of no suitable engine tech at that time in the country.Why was HAL created ?
and what has been it doing for so many years ?
Filling coffers of Parties and Babus if not assembling very large varieties of aircrafts?
So where is the database and knowldge base?
Why are AN and IL grounded ?
Only after the failure of MARUT it was realized that just experience of building MONKEY stuff under TOT alone would not produce theory based research and Development work and separate research labs were formed. naturally many personnel from HAL design team should have been separated and formed into these research labs .
And these research labs in collabaration with various universities, private sector small eng firms like astra micro , HHV, and eng colleges like IIT created many techs and components that went into the making of radars , missiles like NAG,many components for tejas and many other metallurgy researches for jet engine project headed by GTRE.
So jet engine development got separated in the form of GTRE with research tie ups with academic institutions and various research labs, LRDE was formed and has supplied many radars of it's own design to IA and IAF.
And now done more than 80 percent of the work for tejas mk-1 MMR and finished it with backend israeli signal processor. And it is doing ASEA radar development as well.
After that the design team of HAL was separated and ADA was formed. So tejas which is ADA project is made by HAL people originally not by RIL people.
Since design and development was separated into ADA division HAL has just faithfully produced whatever the russians, brits and french have offered to IAF.
in the chopper section HAL was the lead player for DHURV in collabaration with french they have made a world class product and marketting it.it is also producing IJT for IAf and now got it's own basic trainer ready for IAF.
besides choppers and trainers HAl is doing the work of system integrator and production agency for all the products and subsystems developed by these labs in tie up with the universities.
AFAIK babus take their commisions directly from the foreing arms makers when the deal is struck.You and i need no evidence for this I suppose. they don't need HAl help to cut their commissions and bribes from MNcs.
Why DHURV and JAGs produced in HAl are flying?
