I wont be suprised if they install a kitchen microwave on tejas claiming to be direct energy weapon and take another decade for its FOC .

I have a question doesn't we are buying 114 aircraft for TOT. Last time I heard that France was willing to provide TOT if gets large order..
More than a year back that Amit fellow from Youtube posted the following on Instagram :
"Scaled down model of India Upcoming 5th generation Fighter AMCA."
"Actual design of AMCA.."
What do we make of this ?

So if AMCA is coming with 6th gen technology, will it carry laser weapons like the one recently tested by US. If I am not wrong, It is known as SHIELD and will be integrated in USAF F-15s and will be used to burn incoming missiles and also other aircrafts at close range.
Your design sir ? Did you post this render on this forum ? The tail section looks brilliant.
Has the internal weapons bay been redesigned??
In its current form I think the payload is too less.
A couple of designs exists. We know there is a big weapon bay at the mid section. There has been many renders showing side bays too. Not sure if the final design will have side bays or not. Until recently the DSI was thought to be discarded design too, but it seems now the final design will have DSI.
How Indian plans to make AMCA and Tejas Mk2 fighter jets ” Collision Proof”

Dr. Girsh S Deodhare, director of the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has confirmed that India is working on the development of an Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System which is an aircraft software system to prevent crash of an aircraft if Pilot faces a g-induced loss of consciousness while flying the jet.
Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System will help regain control of the aircraft in case the pilot loses consciousness or is incapacitated. A helmet-mounted sensor will alert ground control, which will be able to take over the aircraft’s controls to safely land the aircraft. “It is an artificial intelligence-based application. Till now we were following (the west), now we want to take the lead, “ Dr. Deodhare said.
While NASA developed Auto-GCAS (Collision Avoidance System ) technology already introduced in many fighter jets flown by the United States Air Force which already has saved many lives of Pilots, expects knocked out Pilots to regain conscious to take over aircraft but As explained by Dr. Deodhare, India will use Auto-Pilot and Auto-GCAS system not only to take over upon detecting a collision course with the ground it will also perform an automatic recovery maneuver, returning full control to the pilot once the aircraft has cleared the terrain but India will be taking a lead over current western system and will this technology to allow the ground controller to take over the aircraft if pilot never regains his consciousness and the aircraft is running out of fuel.
It has been observed that while conducting a standard training scenario were pilots in their earlier stage of carriers required to practice maneuvers necessary for aerial combat and perform three-dimensional maneuvering under high gs, g-induced loss of consciousness is common and most of the time it is for brief few seconds before pilot regains consciousness but many times aircraft cannot avoid terrains under such training scenarios are performed over mountain terrain.
Called “optimally manned” cockpit technology by ADA, it will also be a great feature in case the pilot has suffered injuries but is conscious and is not able to fly the aircraft on his own.

We are import lovers , we should buy it from LMHmmmm. But I think ADA is developing it for Indian FA.
IAF to add clause on local engines for AMCA fighters
The assessment within the Indian establishment is that engine technologies needed for future aircraft are available with nations like France, UK and the US. The Indian side is also keen not to repeat a deficiency in the Chinese weapons development...

Sources said that while the first two squadrons of the AMCA will be powered by a variant of American origin GE 414 engine, the project will be clearing in the coming months on the condition that a parallel process be initiated by DRDO to develop a aero engine plant with foreign collaboration. “A clear path towards developing our own aero engine is essential and should be done along the AMCA programme which is being supported. If needed, foreign collaboration from western nations that have advanced technologies can be sought,” senior officials told ET.

No No why should we fund Boeing??? In return we would get nothing. This is a ruse. I dont think we should fall in this trap.
They should ask for know how first than give order for Boeing.
AMCA could fly undetected during dangerous missions
By Anantha Krishnan M, February 05, 2020 09:01 AM IST
Lucknow: India's inspiring attempt to develop a 5.5. generation, twin-engine, single-seater, multi-role fighter Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) will enter a crucial phase with the detailed data generation process for making prototypes set to begin in the second half of this year.
This state-of-the-art supersonic beast is expected to fly with loads of home-grown, gen-next weapons currently under development at various laboratories of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The aircraft that can be operated in manned, unmanned, stealth and non-stealth modes carries many advance technologies making it lethal and apt for dangerous missions.
The sanction for the design phase was accorded in December 2018 with an allocation of Rs 400-crore plus after successful completion of conceptual design and feasibility.
Ahead of this, Rs 90-crore plus was allocated for the feasibility study.
The AMCA is being designed and developed Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA).
Sources privy to information about this highly-sensitive programme confirmed to Onmanorama that the design phase is nearing completion.
The scientists have made few changes to AMCA design and are now focussing on fine-tuning plans ahead of wrapping up the design phase.
In the next two to three months the design for AMCA will be completed.
ADA plans to develop five AMCA prototypes and will be seeking the government approval towards the end of this year.
The sanction will be critical for making the prototypes, flight-testing and configuration.
While the final cost is still being worked out, the expected funding could be in excess of Rs 10,000 crore.
The first few prototypes will be to check the stealth systems on board AMCA. Advanced technologies will be progressively introduced into the prototypes.
AMCA will be embedded with the Diverterless Supersonic Intake (DSI) system that would give it more stealth and better performance in supersonic flight.
"Futuristic weapons pack, including those capable of delivering high-energy hits will make AMCA a dreadful flying machine. It will carry cruise and many air-to-air missiles," says a source.
In non-stealth mode, there will be 10 weapon stations. With one mid-air refuelling, AMCA will be able to fly cover distances that are really long.
The fighter has advanced active and passive sensors integrated with electronic warfare suit.
Body-conformed antennas, flushed electro optical sensors and stealth features ensure that AMCA could fly undetected over dangerous territories.
As reported by Onmanorama earlier, AMCA will be initially powered by a 90kN GE F414 engine and later by one with higher thrust of 110kN, which is yet to be developed. If all blocks fall into place, then the first AMCA prototype will fly by 2025.
Features like suppression of enemy air defence (SEAD) and destruction of enemy air defence (DEAD), vehicle monitoring system (IVHM), serpentine air intake, infrared search and track (IRST) and missile approach warning system (MAWS) will make AMCA ideal for extended missions.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is backing the AMCA mission to the hilt with Air Chief Marshal R K S Bhadauria tracking the developments closely.
"The IAF's keenness on AMCA is definitely pushing the project with renewed direction," adds an official.
At DefExpo2020, models of AMCA in stealth and non-stealth modes are being displayed at the DRDO stall.
