AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

[Ghost hale]

What is the E/W Suite of AMCA? Can we achieve Spectra E/W Suite level E/W Suite on ourselves.

Details for EW suite is not out but all sensors will be indigenous and most are already developed and will be upgraded for AMCA. Comparison wont be available till data is out and in that too u wont have much details. As per LRDE and DRDO officials, the parameters and abilities will be comparable to rest of the leading platform. I believe it will be surpassing others in best software with whatever hardware we can develop by then.

If AMCA goes for production in 2030, then first fighter will be delivered in 2033 right?

Why so?

Yes but points to highlight in your statement "IF" "THEN".

 

[FalconSlayers]

Why so?

It takes 3 years on average to get the materials required for aircraft production.

 

[Ghost hale]

Why so?

Its usual timeline in fighter jet for assembly setup.

Can't they fast track it while last stage trials are under way ,so they can start manufacturing by 2030

Haven't heard anything like that but HAL chairman had quoted 2032 roll out in an interview.

We should have started our program long ago, when we started our AMCA program, it was already 13 years to F-22 Raptor’s first flight.

All the technology required were being developed and that is the reason we can make 1:1 model by 2022 and prototype by 2025 with first flight 2026.

And production in 2033 .

 

[Ghost hale]

And production in 2033 .

Enjoy MK1, MK1a, MK2, TEDBF, LCH, IMRH, FRCV by then. And also IAC1 and P75I subs.

 

[Lonewolf]

And production in 2033 .

Well , you are looking at schedule with current structure iaf , mod and hal , but i think we can fast track it , like chinese did .
Also don't you think with much bigger gdp in 2028-29 , we would be acting like sloth , and hopefully hal will be corporatized by then, i am pinning my hopes on our future growth potential , also won't the manufacturing technology would enhanced somewhat , i really think we can get production standard amca in 2031 at max , even kf x with 5 grn capability will be developed after that .
Tejas mk 1a is delayed cause iaf is not much interested in it . This attitude is not towards mk2 and amca . Only thing i am worried is iaf don't want to induct more than 2 squadrons of mk 1 , and mk 2 will hit production by 2034 . So production rate will be relatively low

If it goes for production means all the required materials are already in stock. And there should be many lines working simultaneously so many jets will come in one batch.

No it doesn’t work like that.

 

[Shekhar Singh]

No it doesn’t work like that.

All the required materials are desi except engines. And why do think that after starting the production they will go for material shopping?

Production starts 3 years atleast after the orders are placed.

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

So order should come by 2026, for IAF to get AMCA Mk1 by 2029.

2025-26 First Flight, no orders before 2030.

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

Orders can come even before first flight.
Example is LCA MK1A.
