India,s own 'Airborne Warning and Control System' AWACS program in design phase, DRDO CABS AWACS

DRDO AEW&CS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Airborne early warning and control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system is an airborne radar picket system designed to detect aircraft, ships and vehicles at long ranges and perform control and command of the battle space in an air engagement by directing fighter and attack aircraft strikes. AEW&C units are also used to carry out surveillance, including over ground targets and frequently perform C2BM (command and control, battle management) functions similar to an Air Traffic Controller given military command over other forces. When used at altitude, the radar on the aircraft allows the operators to detect and track targets and distinguish between friendly and hostile aircraft much farther away than a similar ground based radar.

Israeli, spice 250 & Spice 1000 a Guided Glide bomb
Spice (bomb) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Similar to Israeli spice-1000 , we have 1000kg category guided glide bomb, No need to buy spice 250/1000.
DRDO recently tested such 1000kg category Guided Glide bomb. Which can be fitted on LCA tejas and other aircraft in IAF, so that LCA can stay away from the Radar range and SAMS and throw this bomb nearly 100 to 150 km away from targets.

Recently LCA has successfully passed cold weather test at Leh with its indigenous fuel starter.

LCA passes cold weather test at Leh | Business Line

Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas developed by HAL has passed cold weather test at Leh.

"The aircraft made three consecutive starts using indigenous gas turbine starter at - (minus)15 degrees with 85 per cent charged battery a few days ago. Prior to the start, the aircraft was cold soaked for 18-20 hours (even 42 hours on one occasion) outside the hangar in Leh and no heating source was used for starting", said T Suvarna Raju, Chairman, HAL.

This success is a feather in the cap for HAL which used the aircraft in natural surroundings rather than using external heating arrangements for starting aircraft engines at such low temperatures.

A team of more than 15 engineers and technicians from HAL worked to solve the peculiar problems faced in starting a Gas Turbine Engine in the ratified and cold atmospheres found at Leh.

The gas turbine starter unit of HAL used to start the engine for LCA has been designed, developed and manufactured by HAL's aero engine R&D centre and Aero Engine Research and Design Centre (AERDC).

The first success was the rig trials with a modified starting schedule conducted at Leh (3,260 meter altitude) in July and August 2014. During this period HAL also successfully demonstrated the start capability of its starter even at a high altitude of 5.6 km.

The HAL received external support from Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), CEMILAC, DGAQA, IAF-PMT, NFTC and others for this mission.
