SP Guide Publications puts forth a well compiled articulation of issues, pursuits and accomplishments of the Indian Army, over the years
I am confident that SP Guide Publications would continue to inform, inspire and influence.
My compliments to SP Guide Publications for informative and credible reportage on contemporary aerospace issues over the past six decades.
There has been a great learning process in the aviation industry in India, thanks to the DARIN I, LCA and participation in Su-30 development.
The concluding chapter on the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) fighter upgrade programmes elaborates on the following fighter fleets:
• Jaguar upgrade
• ELTA radar on Maritime Jaguar
• MiG-29 upgrade
• Mirage 2000 upgrade
Jaguar Upgrade
Development of DARIN I system for Jaguar was done by a team from the IAF, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) under the aegis of the Inertial Nav-Attack System Integration Organisation (IIO) nearly two decades back. The unfinished task of upgrading the balance fleet has now been undertaken by HAL with an even improved version. The upgrade of NAVWASS Jaguars and SOP of the newly built Jaguars to the DARIN II standard has been undertaken by HAL.
