INDIGENOUS DEVELOPMENT OF LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRUs)

FOR LCA-TEJAS
ADA is the Nodal agency involved in the design and development of Tejas Aircraft along
with HAL as a principal partner and in coordination with nearly 100 work centres spread
across the country. The Tejas development program is in advanced stage, completed
Initial Operation Clearance (IOC) requirements and marching towards final operation
clearance (FOC). Tejas has completed over 2000 flights so far and continuing system
performance and evaluation towards reaching Final Operational Clearance (FOC). There
are 358 LRU's (Components) in the Tejas aircraft, out of which 53% of total LRU's are
indigenously developed with in India. In view to reduce the remaining 47% of the import
LRU's, ADA has initiated the Indigenous development programme for indigenization of the
import LRU's.
The List of Components (LRU's) which belong to different systems of Aircraft, ADA is
looking to indigenous is given in the table below.
