Rs 15,000 crore Tata-Airbus deal for military transport aircraft at CCS door.

With contract for the light combat aircraft signed–the largest military order placed domestically–focus has shifted to a mega deal which, if approved by the PM-led cabinet committee on security, will see military transport aircraft being manufactured in India.

High on the priority list of Indian Air Force is finalisation of an estimated Rs 15,000-crore contract to manufacture the C 295 transport aircraft in India by a Tata-Airbus combine, which would make it the first time a military plane of such size is built domestically.

People aware of the matter told ET that the plan to acquire 56 aircraft to replace the ageing Avro fleet is in the final stage, with top-level approvals expected soon to move it to the next stage as a showcase of the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

Unlike the RS 48,000-crore LCA Mk1A contract, which was awarded on a nomination basis, the transport aircraft deal underwent a competitive process and was reserved for the private sector to bring in alternative capabilities.

The C 295 is a prominent focus at the AeroIndia show, with foreign collaborator Airbus – which is committed to transferring technology to India as part of the contract – saying the final assembly line would generate at least 2,500 new high-skilled jobs in the coming years.

Indian Navy gets 3 advanced light helicopters from HAL customised for coastal security.


The helicopters are fully loaded, multi mission and are fitted with an array of advanced sensors.

The helicopter features a full glass cockpit with HAL's Integrated Architecture Display System (IADS), more powerful "Shakti" engines, and a host of new systems.

These helicopters have come up with latest-generation avionics and role equipment. It is primarily meant for use in a shore-based role.

The Mk-III ALH are also equipped with an indigenous low frequency dunking sonar (LFDS) developed by Kochi-based Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory.

The aircraft has also a nose-mounted surveillance radar with 270-degree coverage that can detect, classify and track multiple marine targets.

It also has synthetic-aperture radar, inverse synthetic-aperture radar, and moving target indication classification functions.

The army variant of the LUH received the IOC


Powered by the turbo shaft engine (Ardiden 1U) of the French aerospace major Safran, the LUH is equipped with a smart cockpit display system and health and usage monitoring system for high-altitude missions in the Himalayas.

The certification process involving ground testing, system testing, flight testing, including hot and cold weather trials have been completed.

ok i asked someone who visited AI he said the "sidebays" are acually just cutouts to show insides not actual weapon bays im ofcourse talking about cats warrior.(Not sure if this was obvious to everyone else but it sure wasnt for me)
You are not alone. I thought the drone might feature some kind of a side ejection system to fire missiles. :bplease:

Erm, might I request you to fill up the rest?.. I'll make an official chart then.
Also there is a long range ASBM ( anti ship ballistic missile ) under development. I think I posted info regarding it in the DRDO thread previously.

@Chinmoy

Something for you....:troll:


Saurav Jha: So in that context what are some of the new tactical missile systems being developed under DRDO's recently unveiled 'missile autonomy mission?'

Avinash Chander: Our aim via the 'missile autonomy mission' is to cover a wider space as it were. Let me outline some of the new systems being progressed. A new man portable anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) for which design is over and hardware is getting developed. A Longer ranged SAM with a range of 200-250 km is on the drawing board. A quick reaction SAM which can track on move is well-advanced in the design stage. An anti-radiation missile and a long range anti-ship missile which can prevent aircraft carriers from coming within 1500-2000 km of our shores are also being pursued.


Saurav Jha: What is the status of the anti-radiation missile and the long range anti-ship missile?

Avinash Chander: For the anti-radiation missile design is in progress, in fact hardware is being readied for the first trials. We expect successful trials of this ARM from an aircraft in about the next three years.

The long range anti-ship missile is on the drawing board, and we are confident that in about six years we would be able to get it ready. The long range anti-ship missile is going to be a ballistic missile with a seeker which can hit ships at long range.

Saurav Jha: So this is a rough equivalent of the Chinese DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile? An anti-access/area denial system?

Avinash Chander: Something like that yes. So as you can see almost the entire spectrum of missile capability is being addressed. And addressed to meet state of the art requirements thereby giving full teeth to our armed forces.

Really ?

And what exactly was shown inside the side bays ?
Weapons and nothing else isnt it ?

So the guy who told you it was to show the inside of the wingman ( there is nothing to be seen or shown internally inside the wingman model except for the weapons , since it is the weapons bay ) was bullshitting you.

Also why does the model side cutouts have sawtooth edges ?

CATS WARRIOR is a stealth platform right ?

And any stealth platform will incorporate saw tooth edges on the openings and doors of its internal weapons bay to prevent detection by radars during opening and closing of its internal weapons bay doors during launch of its weapons.

Now explain this to your friend .

What's pains me is many here jumped on a wrong inference and did not even think logically for a moment to see the truth .

Sometimes one can make a mistake , but same mistakes by many is not correct . Don't outsource your brain to others amd don't believe everything blindly . All these whatsapp , twitter , facebook is destroying our independent thinking process.
