DOMAIN B (30 aug 27): Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) will provide a radar system for India’s new Light Combat Aircraft fighter jet ‘Tejas’. The deal may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. India’s electronics industry has been unable to successfully build a radar system for the new jet, and recently IAI head Itzhak Nissan visited the country and reached an agreement with local authorities to co-develop the system with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL). The IAI is also looking to get a share in an expected contract said to be worth over a billion dollars, to upgrade the Indian Air Force’s (IAF’s) 51 Mirage-2000 jets.
