With 97 kN thrust? Will it be sufficient?
Well it is more than sufficient. Also it comes with an option of upgrading to F414-400(115 Kn) without the aircraft going into any design modifications should the navy want an air superiority fighter of TEDBF.

Regarding the weapons which are part of CATS program

Add06.14.06.jpg


1. CATS HUNTER which is a stand off cruise missile
There are 2 variants shown
A. With a large RF seeker
B. With a IIR seeker ( behind the optical transparent screen on the nose )

There might be other variants depending on the payload types.

2. CATS ALPHA this is a airborne swarm carrier pod, while the autonomous swarm drones are named as ALPHA-S .

Multiple ALPHA-S drones are carried inside the pod in what seems like a rotatory dispenser mechanism.

The one on the left is also CATS ALPHA ( but non transparent model )

3. CATS WARRIOR wingman with internal payloads , in pic SAAW is shown as one of the payloads.

This should clear all the confusion.

Heartwarming part all payloads and wingman are from startups. Cant be happier, must be exciting to work on these.
