Why Did Nirbhay Cruise Missile Test-Failed? HAL SpORT Aircraft Will Be Ready In 2023

Nirbhay is a long range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile designed and developed in India by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) which is under Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The missile can be launched from multiple platforms and is capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads. It is currently deployed in limited numbers in LAC during standoff with China.

DRDO is planning to conduct test of Nirbhay under the new name Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile (ITCM) with GTRE developed Short Turbo Fan Engine (STFE) called Manik and an upgraded RF seeker from RCI on 12 October 2020. The seventh trial took place on October 12, 2020 at 10:30 AM from Wheeler Island, it was given a test-launch window of 2 days. Nirbhay test failure We Explain what went wrong. The test was aborted after 8 minutes of launch and the missile ditched into open waters due to a technical glitch, which is yet to be ascertained. GTRE developed STFE is a crucial step in achieving self-sufficiency in cruise missile technology. DRDO is expected to fly the Nirbhay again in a few months after analyzing the data.

India has deployed its long-range missile Nirbhay along with missile Brahmos and Akash surface to air missile to deter Chinese aggression along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh .

GTRE is developing a new 4.25 kN thrust turbofan engine to power Nirbhay Cruise missile and future UAV, Long range AshM cruise missile systems. GTRE is working fast to add test capabilities and infrastructure to test the Manik engine.

he HAL Tejas is an Indian single-engine, fourth-generation, multirole light fighter designed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) in collaboration with Aircraft Research and Design Centre (ARDC) of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. It came from the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) programme, which began in the 1980s to replace India's ageing MiG-21 fighters. In 2003, the LCA was officially named "Tejas".

Tejas has a tail-less compound delta-wing configuration with a single vertical stabilizer. This provides better high-alpha performance characteristics than conventional wing designs. Its wing root leading edge has a sweep of 50 degrees, the outer wing leading edge has a sweep of 62.5 degrees, and trailing edge has a forward sweep of four degrees. It integrates technologies such as relaxed static stability, fly-by-wire flight control system, multi-mode radar, integrated digital avionics system and composite material structures. It is the smallest and lightest in its class of contemporary supersonic combat aircraft.

SPORT - Supersonic Omni-Role Trainer aircraft is a two-seater Lead-in fighter training aircraft being developed from LCA Trainer Mark 1 for export purposes as light fighter.

The experience gained in operating the Naval Prototype will help in proving input to the development of Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) aircraft. The TEDBF will be powered by two General Electric F414 and will carry higher and heavier payloads and range. Labelled as the Omni-Role Combat Aircraft it is to sport two engines, elongated fuselage and an expanded wing-span, Diverterless supersonic inlets, Conformal Fuel Tanks etc.

Medium Weight Fighter - also called "Tejas Mark 2", is to feature the more powerful General Electric F414-GE-INS6 engine with 98 kN of thrust. In November 2009, Ministry of Defence sanctioned ₹2,431.55 crore (equivalent to ₹49 billion or US$690 million in 2019) for development of Tejas Mk 2, which was expected to be completed by 2018. However, a delay in procurement of engines pushed back the initiation of development till 2013. As of 2018, the project is expected to be completed by 2022. Mk 2 will feature an AESA radar, an on-board oxygen generation system, and a built-in electronic warfare suite among other improvements to avionics. In January 2019, Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa said that the IAF has committed to procure twelve squadrons of Tejas Mk 2 aircraft. HAL’s Supersonic Omni Role Trainer Aircraft (SpORT) to become reality soon. In Aero India 2019, a model of Tejas Mk 2 with close-coupled canards was displayed. Mk 2 will be slightly larger with a length of 14.6 m (48 ft) and a wingspan of 8.5 m (28 ft). An increase in payload capacity to 6,500 kg (14,300 lb) will allow it to carry more weapons. It will include an infra-red search and track system and a missile approach warning system.

Twin-engine Deck based Fighter - A new twin-engine carrier–based fighter variant, to be developed from Naval Tejas Mark 2 or independently. Further details are unavailable.
