HAL Prachand - Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)

[itsme]

What sensors does it lack?

the only I can think of is FCR

MAWS, RWR(?), need integrating NLOS systems as well.

The self protection suite is customer nominated equipment. It’s available to be added anytime, I don’t know why some get so dramatic about this one. Whatever is on Rudra can be put on LCH

I’ve no idea why they’ve yet to flight test the IADS on LCH but it seems like there’s no real hurry from any user to get LCH into service, it just seems like an orphan

NLOS for heli, bit unnecessary imho.

Reliance group has more industrial capability and knowhow than PAC. So if PAC can make an indigenous aircraft, so can Reliance.

Ha ha ha that is the joke of the week.

No. It takes knowledge and experience that takes years to build up. Reliance does not have those.

What is your problem here

Hmm
400+ dhruvs are flying
20+ tejas flying
200+ su30 flying

All are built and being maintained by hal

Then mwf is going to par with Rafale
Amca will be too

Reliance can buy some small European aerospace firm

Anil Ambani is bankrupt.

 

[Swesh]

Anil Ambani is bankrupt.

I guess yaha mota bhai ki baat ho Rahi hai

Not that Ambani, i think its the big amabni

Are bhai I was mocking him

Is Mukesh Ambani interested in Aerospace?

 

[Neeraj Mathur]

Is Mukesh Ambani interested in Aerospace?

nope
fuel and energy

Does anybody know background story of alh development?

ALH and Dhruv are the same helicopters so if I am explain history of Dhruv than I am basically Explaining the history of ALH at the same time. Here is a summary of the History of ALH/Developing :

A program called Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) program was initiated in May 1979 by the Indian Air Force and Indian Naval Air Arm to develop an Indigenous 5 ton Multirole helicopter. HAL was given a contract by GOI in 1984 to develop the Helicopter.

Germany's Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) were contracted in July 1984 as a design consultant and collaborative partner on the programme with HAL. Originally the 1st Prototype was to fly in 1989 but the 1st Prototype (Z-3182) made its maiden flight on 20 August 1992 at Bangalore. The then-Indian Vice President K R Narayanan was present.

This was followed by a second prototype (Z-3183) on 18 April 1993, an Army/Air Force version (Z-3268), and a navalised prototype (IN.901) with Allied Signal CTS800 engines and a retractable tricycle undercarriage. Development problems arose due to changing military demands and a funding shortfall in the wake of the 1991 Indian economic crisis.

Naval testing on board INS Viraat and other ships started in March 1998, and around the same time a weight-reduction programme was initiated. However, further delays in development were caused when sanctions were implemented against India following a number of Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998 and India's continued refusal to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. As a result, the intended engine for the helicopter, the LHTEC T800, was embargoed.

The Turbomeca TM 333-2B2 turboshaft engine was selected as a replacement; in addition Turbomeca agreed to co-develop a more powerful engine with HAL, originally known as the Ardiden. Turbomeca also assisted in the development of the helicopter, stress analysis and studies of rotor dynamics were conducted in France. The first flight of Dhruv with new engine variant, called the Shakti, took place on 16 August 2007.

I will show you my history paper some other time during the Day. I will definitely send it to you through DM but just not now. Please don't mind. Thank you.
