AMCA MkII to get Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) – Indian Defence Research Wing

going by the article, it's planned to enter production around 2035. still a lot of time left.
how is @FalconSlayers so sure that it's planned on mk2. it's just a model nevertheless.

Can someone say what's difference between eots, das and irst
I basically now about irst but still
But I am noob in this case

IRST/ Infrared Search and Tracking is basically a passive sensor which could be used to detect target without using your active sensor RADAR.

EOTS/ Electro Optical Targeting system is as its name suggest, a targeting system which could be used to guide Air to ground ammunition. Instead of carrying a targeting pod, the EOTS could be used to guide the ammo. The same could be used to guide AAM too. F-35 have incorporated a EOTS which combines FLIR and IRST together.

DAS/ Distributed Aperture System is basically a group of EO or passive sensors which surrounds the whole aircraft and provides the pilot a cumulative data input and 360 degree situational awareness.

Old news but indicative of the state of the TF-X programme...

Sounds like things are not going according to plan: 2-3 year delay in first flight; no engine in sight. I wonder if it will be cancelled once the current president loses power.

Lol. No engine selected and they give first flight dates..what a circus!

Prototypes will have GE F110 engines (120kN). I doubt there will be an engine developed in time for production aircraft so I guess those will have F110 as well for at least a few years.

Really you think so they have no good wind tunnels in the country how are they going to develop anything

@Spitfire9 I think they are overconfident in their capability ,but they are asking for help from ukraine , pakistan (lol asking beggar for gold ) , brits are already their sugar daddy in this program , still they are struggling ,looks like too much TOT is hurting their RND

Erodgan is the Putin of Turkey, he wants to be the Sultan of the new Ottoman Empire so they've poured in copious sums into their arms industry and just as importantly he has been using his military as a foreign policy tool- they've been deployed to Syria and Iraq, during Afghan withdrawal Turkey sent 1000s of troops to secure Kabul alongside the US/NATO.

You mean by Turkey? It'll have to be ff the shelf because they don't have any engine expertise to speak of, but they are going to have severe limitations thanks to CAATSA on this.
