--Manufacturing of Defence Aircraft by HAL HAL has received an order for supply of seven Advanced Light Helicopters to Ecuador during 2008-09.
The helicopters will be delivered in three years time. No export order for defence aircraft has been received by HAL during 2007-08.
This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Production Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply to Shri Kishanbhai V Patel and others in Lok Sabha today.
--Defence Collaboration for Development of UAV The Government has allowed the Aeronautical Development Establishment to co-opt a partner from the Indian Industry to join in the development and production of the Rs. 1,000 crore indigenous medium altitude long endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) programme.
In order to reduce the time for design, development and subsequent Transfer of Technology to the Industry for bulk production of Medium Altitude Long Endurance UAV, Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has been authorized to associate with a Production And Development Partner (PADP) from eligible Indian Industries on a competitive basis.
The PADP would work with DRDO during the design and development phase and absorb technologies. They would become the System Integrator and provide product support after induction.
DRDO has short listed four Industries Consortia through a transparent process and released Request for Proposal for PADP. This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Ravi Prakash Verma and others in Lok Sabha today.
--Trainer Aircraft in Air Force All the trainer aircraft in the Indian Air Force have been in service for nearly 25 years except for the recently inducted Hawk Mk-132 aircraft.
Proposals are being progressed for procurement of additional Hawk aircraft and Intermediate Jet Trainer as well as for replacement of the existing HPT-32 trainer aircraft to modernize the trainer fleet of the IAF.
Several steps have been taken to enhance the quality of training including induction of simulators and improvement of training syllabi in the training establishments so as to enable the trainer pilot to be adequately prepared for flying the aircraft and handle modern on-board cockpit systems with greater proficiency.
This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Rakesh Singh in Lok Sabha today.
