    IAF hasn't said so. SP1 will not see squadron service only if it doesn't meet the IOC 2 standards as the construction started before the build configuration was finalised.

    The significance of this flight is that it gives closure to those of us following the program for a long time, since the first flight in my case. For the very first time, there is no more "when" but a more silent moment of celebration and peace. Tejas is no more a work in progress, it is now in...

    AFAIK, yes. Even upgrades have to be okayed by cemilac. I have seen news regarding cemilac certification for EW suites of various IAF birds upgraded by DARE.

    It may sound bad but it is a great news in disguise. At least HAL won't be killing any test pilots or trainee pilots by developing a new lead in trainer from scratch :thumb: Meanwhile, someone hasn't updated these fellows:-...

    Planar arrays are ESA arrays. Phase shifting is used most widely for beam steering and time delay is very rarely used. In phase shifting, an array of phase shifters causes shift in phase angles of waveforms, thus the time at whic waves originating from different elements reach their crests and...

    By next year gives it 18 months, add standard DRDO 50% deadline extension makes it 27 months, add another 3 months for contingency, which makes it January 2017 :), that's a more realistic timeline. Then when the Mk2 gets delayed, the weapons integration team will blame it on the radar team and...

    Again obfuscating the issue at hand. How is the IAF responsible for delays post IOC1 when the deadlines and benchmarks were set by ADA and HAL themselves ? Those benchmarks have been set for a very very long time. It's almost 8 years since 2006 and three and half years since IOC1. No sanctions...

    So HAL-ADA lied about the deadlines for the thousandth time again. Either that or the incompetence runs so deep that the higher ups have no idea about the situation on ground. SP-1 was supposed to begin ground runs in June and fly in August, which was earlier supposed to be rolled out by 31st...
