AMCA Project Gets Going, Long Road Ahead |

Last week's approval by the Cabinet Committee on Security to develop and manufacture the Advanced Medium Combat Jet or AMCA for the Indian Air Force is more than welcome given the dire need for the force to keep up with the needs of the future. A fifth-generation, medium weight low observable fighter jet designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) that functions as a Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) arm, the AMCA project has been allocated Rs 15,000 crore as initial funding with more money to be provided as and when required. The aircraft will propel India into a select group of nations that have or are developing 5th generation fighter jets, based on futuristic technology in partnership with various private and public sector agencies. The AMCA compares with a Rafale in its weight and will have a state of art cockpit configuration to assist in the best optimized pilot response. It will also be capable of teeming in a manned-unmanned configuration for best utilization in the visualised combat environment. AMCA will have stealth characteristics, in-built. The AMCA will compare well with other 5 th generation aircraft but its induction into the force is unlikely to happen before 20235 at the earliest. Brig SK Chatterji (Retd) was speaking with Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale about the AMCA project.
