AMCA India's Fifth Gen. Fighter Aircraft | HAL Made in India Stealth Fighter | Latest updates

A M C A means Advanced multirole combat aircraft is Indian upcoming fifth generation stealth fighter aircraft. A M C A is designed by A D A and manufactured by H A L. A M C A will be a single seat, Twin engine, stealth multi-role fighter jet. First stage of A M C A is done and stage two work is started. It’s first flight is scheduled in 2022. Not only Air-force but Navy also interested in this project, because navy also want a Naval version of this Fighter. Navy also invested in this project. It is supposed that it will consist of all modern weapons and modern avionics, some of them are under development and remaining taken from tejas, Rafale, Su-30mki and other modern fighter jets. Speed of A M C A will be 2,655 km/h and this fighter jet will be powered by Kaveri engine which is under development stage. A M C A also consists of modern sensors, Radars, Missiles which will be a mix of Israel, India, Russia, France and some other technologies from India’s friendly countries too. The broad requirements outlined for the A M C A are to incorporate a high degree of stealth, a high internal and external weapons payload, high internal fuel capacity, and the ability to swing from an air-to-air role to air-to-ground. It is also expected to have the ability to super cruise. This allows the aircraft to travel at supersonic speeds with greater endurance as the afterburners do not have to be used with the additional fuel usage. Even though future air combat has been envisaged as being beyond visual range excluding the likelihood of aerial dogfights as before, the A M C A is expected to sport a thrust vectoring engine. The A D A is designed the A M C A as a platform with high survivability, to meet the challenges of future air defense environments through a combination of moderate stealth, electronic warfare capability, sensors and kinetic performance. The design philosophy seeks to balance aerodynamics and stealth capabilities. The aircraft will have a weight of 18-20 tons. 18-20 tons with 2-tons of internal weapons and 4-tons of internal fuel. Combat ceiling will be 15-km, max speed of 1.8-Mach at 11-km. The A M C A will be powered by 2 x 110 KN engines with vectored nozzles. A M C A also comes with self protection jammer system to jam enemy radar guided missiles from both air and ground. electronic counter measure systems to confuse the infrared guided missiles and a radar warning receiver too added to detect enemy radar frequency’s. A M C A primary purpose is Multi-role fighter capability which includes Air superiority mission, Attack mission, Strike role, Precision targeting, Interceptor, and Bombing mission. As A M C A is intended to replace Sepecat Jaguar and Dassault Mirage 2000 which are assigned role of Multi-role aircraft with mainly Fighter bomber role. Thank you by Defence & Technology Team
