AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

[panzerfeist1]

These images are old ,way old , well explain on that eots part .

As much i know ,eots is for air to ground role dude . Irst is for air to air role too

Korea just revealed theirs.

 

[FalconSlayers]

KF-X has an IRST just like normal 4+ gen aircrafts have. Seems like only America and China uses EODAS+EOTS combo for stealth.

They have taken 4.5 gen then 5 gen route , as i remember they were planning it , this is their tedbf to be more precise

I assume EO-TGP means Electro Optical-Targetting Pod, the one on the belly.

Maybe g for ground

 

[SavageKing456]

Dammit so much notifications on AMCA made me think that some nice update has come!

 

[FalconSlayers]

AMCA will have a Targetting Pod, I don’t think an EOTS coz if it would have had an EOTS it would have been visible instead of a Targetting Pod.

Is kf x one pod or something totally new

Tejas took just about 13 years from first flight Jan 2001 to IOC Dec 2013. Even with the development and testing experience gained from Tejas, 4-5 years from AMCA first flight to IOC looks mighty challenging to me. How many aircraft would be involved in the test program?

LCA was the first modern aircraft of India , it took time because technologies for it also had to be developed for the first time in the country simultaneously while developing LCA itself.

Labs / facilities etc and human resource had to be set up and cultivated simultaneously , all at the same time while developing LCA . And also IAF kept changing the specifications .

So time required was a bit more , but contrary to false information spread , the time taken from release of funding for 1st prototype to first flight is comparable to other aircraft programs in the world .

From the looks, I'm suspecting either of these two.. View attachment 84507


Khagantak.View attachment 84508View attachment 84510

As far as i can observe
In khagantak

2 fore fins present
2 rear fins present
1 air data probe present in fore section
Wing is elongated and thin edges compared to the PGM body
Wing pivot join is further down behind mid section

In the unidentified one

4 rear fins in X configuration
Wing is broader ( note the broad edges ) compared to the PGM body
Wing pivot is in the mid section closer to nose section

Can’t it be just a representative bomb with no seriousness?

Possible but its doubtful ADA would include something representative in its enginnering models

Can you share the whole pic, I don’t think it is an engineering model.

By the way...
Is it a CATS Hunter or SCALP-EG?

SCALP-EG

CATS Hunter

It doesn’t seem to be any of the 2. What is it?

Because It is neither , i dont know , i simply pointed it out

I posted it in drdo thread today , look for the internal Weapons bay pic , there you can see it

 

[FalconSlayers]

I posted both in drdo thread

I saw it, but the Cruise Missile seems to be new that I shared now, it isn’t SCALP-EG or CATS-H, what is it?

The now-discarded 3B-05 version of AMCA that were around during 2012-14, with a 5-BVR internal bay. https://www.orfonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IssueBrief_105.pdf

I managed to remove the covering bay-door & make all of them visible.

@Haldilal if you tweet, skip this part:

If everything goes well, 5 Astra Mark2 might fit by replicating that setup...
