Is it np 5 ?

Where is Tejas MK2 being manufactured?

Me think one of the trainer aircraft under order

Isn't that lrex at front end of wing ??

 

[Vamsi]

Is it np 5 ?

Possible, but I don't think so...may be they are trying convert a twin seater into SPORT

600 km , but it wasn't good enough for locking , need much much more software and hardware refinement .
It was tracking smoke trial of the ballastic missile , we can achieve it too , just need extensive work on the system

Its das[maws] or eots ?

EOTS

Range of sensors & weapons are among the most guarded secrets, based on which the adversaries can put up their strategies & tactics.
Higher altitude increase horizontal range as particle scattering decreases.
The IRSTs of MiGs & Sukhois detect approaching jet at 15-35Km & departing jet at 60-90Km

But i think the above is misleading info & Russian domestic versions are much more capable than this.
So if we assume that we have matched Russian optics capability then AMCA's EOTS could see 100-300Km easily depending upon size & orientation of heat source, altitude of AMCA & target.
The aperture diameter, sensor material, S/w processing, Quantization or resolution also matters.
Just like RF transcievers are made of GaN, GaAs, InGaAs, etc, similarly optical sensors are made of PbS, PbSe, InSb, PtSi, HgCdTe, etc best suited to different bands.

That range was 1300 Km with 10x magnification under clear weather. This is 1 of the contributing reasons of high cost of F-35, custom top-notch H/w & S/w components.
Optical sensors are used everywhere & USA gained experience in long distance sensors through high altitude platforms like SR-71, telescopes like Hubble, spy satellites, programs like SDI (STAR WARS), etc.
But a ballistic missile plume is much bigger than std. jet fighter engine plume.
The altitude of DAS sensor is unknown in 10x zoom.
The sensors's chemical composition is also unknown.

But when a country reveals some critical info it means it is confident that it is way ahead than adversaries & will remain that way for long time.

I think its das[maws] not eots. das and eots both are eots.

 

[johnj]

EOTS

last time i heard eots not so great considering advanced 4.5gen plus pods, so lm developing new one. Eots is a highly advanced version of sniper xr pod. ballistic missile detected around 1300 km by das. both eots and das are eots.

What does metal cutting even mean, Tejask mk2 was under "metal cutting" since last year. Has anything even progressed on that?

Lot of components procured already , and fitted on it

many amca lrus have also been fabricated

this chap is on the pic of amca metal cutting incase u dont know it already

Manufacturing Activities for AMCA has started but I am curious to know wwhat is meant by "RCS Test Box"? (Refer to 2nd Picture)

Happy Birdday to AMCA but the cake is missing from the metal tray
Actually, it seems to be metal cutting, not cake cutting

Naa....it's conceiving day..... birthday is when it's rolled out

 

[mokoman]

looks like this guy has brought a plane from HAL before

 

[Arjun Mk1A]

So, Somewhat we are following a Timeline properly. Hope MK2 appears in the year end or in 1st half of 2023.

Hello @Arjun Mk1A, when are you going to be inducted in the Indian Army?

 

[Arjun Mk1A]

Lol. Currently on Lunar trials.
