Tejas incorporates a highly reliable quadruplex digital fly-by- wire Flight Control System for the ease handling of pilot.The new generation glass cockpit comprises Multi Function Displays (MFD), Head Up Display (HUD) and Stand by Instrumentation System driven by Open Architecture Mission and Display Computer.
This provides effective Human Machine Interface (HMI). The advanced utility and health management system provides system health and warnings to the pilot through an Open Architecture Computer (OAC).
Major Mechanical System includes Microprocessor Controlled Brake Management System, Environment Control System, Fuel System, Nose Wheel Steering System,
Landing Gear System, Hydraulic System, Secondary Power System, Life Support System and Escape System.
Major LRUs developed by ADA are Aircraft Mounted Accessories Gear Box, Filters, Up Locks, QDCs, NRV’s, Depressurisation Cock, Gamble joints, Ten different types of Heat Exchanges. All LRUs have been product ionised to facilitate Equipping of Series Production.
RADAR
Tejas is equipped with modern Israeli multi-mode radar, state of the art Derby air to air missiles and targeting pods to hit ground targets. The LCA will replace the ageing fleet of MiG-21 planes.
