LCA Mark2 Development

During the HAL meet with Analyst, answering to the question of delay related LCA Mark 2, the HAL Director (Operations) Jayadeva E.P. has said that the design of all the parts of LCA Mark2 is almost complete, and HAL will shortly commence the production of prototype.

HAL’s engine division in Bengaluru has been identified as the production agency for GE F414 engine. The firm has reinforced its willingness as a production agency to ADA.

ADA is working with GE and US government to get the 100% ToT for the engine, after which the contract for engine manufacture will be concluded between HAL and GE. HAL has also assured that there are no challenges in signing in the ToT. HAL has told clearly that for all the firms who want to do business in India have to do production in India itself. So, HAL will be able to negotiate for the full ToT for production of engine in India.

The fighter jet is expected to roll out in 2024 after completion of air intake test certification in France by June 2023. Since the air intake of Mark II is similar to Mark I, the DRDO is confident about bagging the certification and rolling out the first prototype by 2024. The first flight may take one year after the rollout of the prototype. The fighter jet is expected to enter into production by 2028 if there are no delays.

LCA Mark 2: a more capable fighter jet

LCA Mark 2 is going to be a state-of-the-art multi role, all weather supersonic fighter aircraft. It will be 4.5+ generation aircraft with long range and endurance & equipped with contemporary systems, sensors and smart glass cockpit. It has network centric capability providing competitive advantage through networking of geographically dispersed forces along with multi sensor data fusion presenting a unified Warfield scenario with advanced sensors like AESA Radar, IRST, UEWS, and MAWS.

The LCA Mark 2 is going to much more capable with LCA Mark-1 and other single engine fighter jets in its category.

LCA Mark-2 will have maximum take-off weight of 17.5t with 11 hard points where it will be able to carry 6.5 tons of payload. Internal fuel capacity of 3.3t.

The Mirage 2000 under operation in IAF has maximum take-off weight of 17t with 9 hardpoints where it can carry 6.2 tons of payload. Internal fuel capacity of 3.1t.
