It would be a superior option to the US EMALS, and leverages off the shelf technology that will be available indigenously from Japan Railways. <br /><br />Even if the US won't offer a technology doesn't mean we can't purchase a superior option from elsewhere.Raahul Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144388090492230247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-89914162976041372992016-04-18T16:33:07.513-07:002016-04-18T16:33:07.513-07:00Hi Broadsword,
Thank you for another precisely in...Hi Broadsword,<br /><br />Thank you for another precisely informative article as always. <br /><br />One comment, I read somewhere that the Indian Navy's requirement for CATOBAR or EMALS was to have the ability to land and Launch heavier AWACS type aircraft, while at sea. <br /><br />If I understand correctly, at present India's AWACS capability is only available uptil a certain distance from the Indian coast line and its on station time is therefore for a limited time. <br /><br />However, with a Catapult launch AWACS can be launched from the carrier itself regardless of how far away it is from an airstrip. Giving India a rare blue water capability. <br /><br />Perhaps with new LEMOA, Indian AWACS aircraft will have more places to take off and land, thereby eliminating the need of a catapult.

Things will move when USA comes with consequential and real deals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301017447027135458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-44579334353317760682016-04-16T22:43:54.523-07:002016-04-16T22:43:54.523-07:00Those who sit on the fence are doomed Those who sit on the fence are doomed Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896450213060068374noreply@blogger.com
