India joins select club with Tejas getting initial ops nod

India today joined a select group of nations manufacturing warplanes with the home-grown Light Combat Aircraft 'Tejas' moving a step closer to its induction into the Indian Air Force after getting its Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) here.

27 years after the project was initiated, defence minister AK Antony handed over the IOC certificate to Air Chief Marshal PV Naik at the HAL airport in Bangalore.

"This is only the semi-finals", Antony said, adding the LCA would enhance national security and build the country's own fighter aircraft capabilities.

The IOC paves the way for the IAF to get the fighter aircraft, the first in June. It will have four LCAs with it by the end of the year to put them under several flying missions for attaining the Final Operational Clearance (FOC), which will be the last hurdle before the LCA joins operational squadron service.

The minister said getting the IOC for the project was a significant milestone in the aviation history of the country as it will prove to be the stepping stone for the future aircraft development projects.

The aircraft, with an investment of over Rs 14,500 crore, has been developed by DRDO's Aeronautical Development Agency after battling technology denial regimes and sanctions for nearly three decades.

"After crossing a number of challenges and accomplishing a significant series of milestones including weapon delivery, in over 1500 sorties, the country is poised for a major turning point with the declaration of the IOC," Antony said.

Asked about LCA's comparison with its counterparts in the neighbourhood, the Minister said, "Our modernisation is not in response to any other country."

"The LCA induction will start in June and by December, we will have four aircraft. The squadron would be formed here itself as to do away with initial glitches, we would be required to be here and rectify (any problem)," Air Chief Marshal Naik said.

He said the IAF would deploy the first two squadrons of the aircraft at its Sulur air base and "after that we will see how it functions and then decide about other aircraft."

The IAF has plans to induct a total of around 200 planes of which orders for the initial 40 have already been placed by the IAF.

The aircraft, which costs between Rs 180 to 200 crore per piece, is presently powered by American GE-F 404 engine and the advanced GE-414 engines have been chosen for powering the LCA Mk II aircraft, which are likely to be developed by 2014.

The development of the aircraft, primarily to replace the ageing Russian MiG-21 and MiG-27s, was affected by the US sanctions in 1998 after the Pokharan nuclear test. The technology denial had led to delay in importing some items and developing alternative equipment, since vendor identification and development to production cycle took time.

Commenting on the refinements sought by the IAF in the LCA in IOC configuration, Naik said, "Refinement to the IOC aircraft is a very routine exercise. There are various things for example like all weather and lightning clearance. So, all these things have to be done 100 per cent. We have waited for a long time for this aircraft. So we would like it to be 100 per cent ready by the time it is inducted into operational squadron service."

Asked if the aircraft was yet to incorporate IAF requirements, he said, "We need time to punch out these things."

On increasing the indigenous content of the LCA, DRDO chief V K Saraswat said, "At present, the aircraft has 60% indigenous content but by the time it gets its FOC, it will have 75% indigenous equipment on board."

Asked if the DRDO would go for achieving a 100% indigenous aircraft, he said, "There is nothing like 100% indigenous one. Even the shirt worn by you is not indigenous.

"It will not be correct and cost effective on our part to attempt 100% indigenisation. Because then you will make an aircraft which will be costliest aircraft with largest infrastructure," he said.

Tejas aircraft granted initial clearance after spending Rs12,000 crore in 27 years

Indian Air Force on Monday began the process to induct indigenously built light combat aircraft (LCA) Tejas.

The limited series production of the aircraft was granted initial operational clearance (IOC) by defence minister AK Antony, with part compliance of parameters vis-a-vis air staff requirementsof the IAF.

IOC comes after 27 years of conceptualising the programme. The historic flights were flown by Group Captains Thomas and Tyagi.

IAF would get two more LCAs by June 2011 and two by the year end.
With Rs12,000 crore spent on the development of Tejas, it still has only 60% indigenous content, said DRDO chief Dr VK Saraswat. He said by the time the aircraft gets its Final Operational Clearance (FOC), expected in December 2012, it would be over 75 % indigenised.

IOC would allow the IAF to have the aircraft inducted in its squadrons and its personnel fly the aircraft for training purposes. An IOC declared fighter is ready to perform all functions except go into battle. Only after the FOC does an aircraft become battle-worthy, as FOC certifies its weapons-delivery.

Air Chief Marshal PV Naik termed it a low-end aircraft, short of the Swedish Gripen NG aircraft, in the single-engine category, and said as it develops it would reach the fourth generation status and would fill in the numbers required, as a medium and low-end category aircraft.

Antony who handed over the IOC certification to the Air Chief, said, “after crossing a number of challenges and accomplishing a significant series of milestones of envelop expansion, sensor integration and weapon delivery in over 1,500 sorties, the country is poised for a major turning point with the declaration of the IOC.”

According to former air chief FH Major it is a milestone for the IAF to achieve the IOC for Tejas. The first squadron of the LCA comprising 20 aircraft would be delivered by 2015. It would be powered by the American engine GE404IN20, as would be the next 20 aircraft. However, the next batch will be powered by GE-414.

The plan is to build 200 LCAs, 140 for the IAF and the remaining for the navy. Each fighter aircraft costs Rs200 crore, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited chairman Ashok Nayak said.

三哥在前一条新闻里创造了initial operational clearance（IOC）的新定义。。。。人家是刚刚能拉出打仗了叫IOC。他老人家试飞状态也叫IOC。

然后再第二则新闻里生造出一个词Final Operational Clearance （FOC），其实就是初始量产型，还达不到别国IOC的标准。不知道真正的IOC他又会用个啥词，难道用Ultimate operational clearance （UOC）？

TMD看阿三新闻真累，新定义，新词汇那是哗哗的往外冒啊。相同词汇，在正常国家里的用法和印度的用法常常不一样，比如GDP。。。。
