Viable integration of Brahmos (various iterations), with all the available platforms should be done, for tactical flexibilty, if nothing else. Wars throw up interesting/forced scenarios.

I would be out of depth on this. @Karthi , could you come in on this one.

Yep it's a 4 sensor system for Mk2. But for TEDBF + AMCA, I was referring to a 6 sensor 360 degree coverage like F35.

Project sanctioned (6 sensor system) by GOI in 2006-2007 under Mission Mode, where it was a collaboration between DARE and an Israeli company. The system was fully developed but not executed (was put in Technology Demonstrator category around 2009) for following reasons: 1. Overweight (was more...

Could you summarise the output of that/those research in a paragraph to help us update. And how that research is being put to use in current/upcoming/planned platforms.

Maybe 1:40 onwards is your answer My guess is that the serrated ones would be put in AMCA Mk2.

FBO benefits: 1. Fibre optics not susceptible to Electro-Magnetic Interference. 2. Lighter in weight compared to FBW. 3. Higher bandwidth. 4. More power efficient compared to FBW.

With reference to BEL. In light of points 2 & 3 mentioned, I am guessing, the price differential would largely be attributed to bloated costs on account of employee cost and overhead costs.

To create an eco-system for manufacturing a 4+ generation plane and thereafter ramp it up to 4.5, 5 and so on.

Expected sanction - Dec 2020

Follow-up post. All the more reason to make 5.5-6 gen fighters in twin seat default configuration. Thoughts from DFIans?

AMCA for CAS?????

Yeah AMCA would have DSI intakes. I posted a video from Defence Decode previously

No info as of now on EOTS. However, do refer to my previous post on sensors.

Looking at the development of 5th and 6th generation fighters, it seems all of them are skewed towards being single seaters. There would/may be twin-seat trainers. However, going forward, won't twin seaters be a more rational choice, given that mid-30s onwards, the fighters would be flying with...

I too have similar thoughts of a drama. That's precisely why I said S400 Vs F35 dies down😀

Yep. Presuming the S400 Vs F35 dies down.

Does that mean 4.5 gen fighters are sufficient to project power in the IOR? given that the Chinese would be operating 5.5 backed by unmanned wingman + swarms by 2035.

Dosen't IN need 5th Gen carrier based fighters by mid 30s? If no, then it's a huge capability gap they are looking at. If yes, then, it seems like it won't be an indigenous effort, because of following reasons: 1. AMCA is being developed as Airforce only. 2. TEDBF would be 4.5+ Gen max. 3. IN...
