The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Tejas is
an Indian multi-role light fighter which has

00:05.820 --> 00:11.359
been designed by the Aeronautical Development
Agency in collaboration with Aircraft Research

00:11.359 --> 00:17.319
and Design Centre of Hindustan Aeronautics
Limited for the Indian Air Force and the Indian

00:17.319 --> 00:26.319
Navy. The Harjet is a single-engine, tandem-seat trainer aircraft with
advanced avionics and high-performance features that plays an important

00:26.319 --> 00:31.979
role in current pilot training. A wide range
of mission capabilities and a large payload

00:31.979 --> 00:37.520
makes the combat variant a battlefield force
multiplier, the aircraft is currently under

00:37.520 --> 00:51.360
development. The Tejas has a night-vision goggles-compatible glass cockpit
equipped with a domestically developed head-up display, three multi-function

00:51.360 --> 01:03.500
displays, two smart standby displays by Central Scientific Instruments Organisation.
The Tejas has hands-on throttle and stick arrangement to reduce the pilot's workload

01:03.500 --> 01:10.279
The avionics of the Tejas Mark 1 is centred
around Elta EL-M 2032 radar. Its digital flight

01:10.279 --> 01:16.599
control computer and ADATA computer are developed
by BEL. It has an electronic warfare suit

01:16.599 --> 01:32.519
domestically developed by Defence Avionics Research Establishment which consists of a
radar warning receiver, integrated self-protection jammer, chaff and flare dispenser system

01:32.519 --> 01:37.000
On the other hand, talking about the Harjet,
capabilities are planned to include air-to-air

01:37.000 --> 01:48.279
refuelling, fly-by-wire with parameter limiting, built-in auxiliary power unit, night-vision
goggles-compatible cockpit, head-up display and an integrated helmet display system

01:48.919 --> 01:57.720
The company has developed simulator avionics, flight control
systems, screen, cockpit and communication systems for the simulator

02:03.239 --> 02:11.000
The Tejas weapon suit consists of one Derby ER
and Astra Beyond Visual Range air-to-air missiles

02:11.000 --> 02:20.199
and R-73, Python-5 and ASRAAM close combat
missiles. The Tejas has an internal 23mm

02:20.759 --> 02:31.559
GSH-23 twin-barrelled autocannon under the starboard side air intake.
The BrahMos-NG supersonic cruise missile is being developed for the Tejas

02:32.119 --> 02:36.759
The Harjet has a payload of around 3 tonnes
which provides it to carry and launch

02:36.759 --> 02:46.919
indigenous SOMJ air-to-surface missiles and guided munitions to
neutralise adversary surface assets with limited air defence capability

02:46.919 --> 03:03.639
It can also provide ISR assistance to the task group. The Tejas Mark
1 is currently powered by the F404 IN-20 engine. The Mark 1A variant

03:03.639 --> 03:07.960
will be powered by the same powerplant
while the heavier Tejas Mark 2

03:07.960 --> 03:20.520
will be powered by a General Electric F414 IN-S6 engine. The Harjet model
that underwent the initial wind tunnels test was configured in accordance

03:20.520 --> 03:29.800
with GE's F404 GE-102 turbofan engine while
currently the Harjet has two separate designs

03:29.800 --> 03:39.720
in accordance with two different engine options. According to the
sources, the Harjet will be powered by the F404 GE-102 engine from GE
