The following milestones have been completed in respect of the FGFA project.
 IGA signed - October 2007
 Confidentiality Agreement signed - July 2008
46
 General Contract signed - December 2008
 IAF Technical Requirements Finalized - August 2009
 Work share finalized –November 2009
 Joint Specification document (TTA) signed - March 2010
 CCS Approval for PD Stage – December 2010
 Preliminary Design (PD) Contract negotiated & signed–21 December 2010
 T0 for PD Stage - 25 February 2011
 PD Stage completed – 19 June 2013
During the PD stage, the basic technical configuration of the FGFA has been completed
jointly by Indian team led by HAL and Sukhoi Design Bureau of Russia. An elaborate set of
design documentation has been delivered to HAL in two stages during the PD stage.


From
the Indian side, in addition to HAL, the following agencies had participated during PD stage.
 DARE, DRDO: Low & High Band Jammers, Dual Colour IR Missile Approach Warning System, Laser Warning Receiver, modules of the Mission Computer
 LRDE, DRDO: Side AESA Arrays, ISAR Algorithm for the main Radar
 ADE, DRDO: Second Flight Control Computer
 BDL: CMDS
 System Control: Weapon Bay Door Control System

Anticipating a long lead time for drawing up and finalization of the R&D Contract, HAL
initiated discussions with the Russian side as early as in September 2011. Substantial
progress has been achieved in drawing up the R&D Contract as a result of the
discussions so far. The progress is summarized as follows.
 Eight rounds (Sep 2011,Dec 2011,Mar 2012,Apr 2012,Jul 2012,Apr 2013,Sep 2013,Oct
2013) of technical discussions held between the two sides to define the deliverables and
principles of cooperation
 Contract has been discussed clause by clause towards resolution of issues and to clearly
define the terms of agreement. Unresolved issues has been highlighted for taking up in
the CNC
 CNC headed by JS (Aero) was formed by MoD in March 2012.
 CNC set up Expert Group of Cost Analysts in Oct 2012 to verify the cost details, to collect
breakup of costs and to make recommendations.
 Four rounds (Oct 2012, Nov 2012, Jan 2013 and March 2013) of bilateral discussions held
between expert group & the Russian side.
47
 After submission of report by Expert Group, four rounds of bilateral negotiations (July,
2013, Oct. 2013, Feb. 2014, March 2014) were held by the CNC. Next bilateral CNC is
planned during April, 2014.
 Recently, IAF has voiced certain concerns on the technical capabilities and features of the
PMF aircraft. These issues have been formally taken up with the Russian side through the
CNC. During the recent bilateral CNC meeting in March 2014, 19 clarifications provided by
Russian side as against the 27 concerns/points raised by IAF. Balance clarifications are to
be provided by Russian side.
 In view of the complexity of the project and the extent of cost negotiations involved, it is
estimated that the process of finalization of the R&D Contract will take at least 3-4 months
provided the technical issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the Indian Side
 Subsequently the approval will be taken for going to R&D contract

Bravo! Bravo!, a very fine, high energy flying display, lots of burner, lots of awesome, very low speed agility, displaying very fine post stall handling, the aircraft is departed several times during the flight, and love to see this bird "pulling vapor" out of the air, he used the cloud cover to very good effect. I am a big, big, fan of the Russian flight demos, they are to the max, and they pulled out all the stops here, obviously a "crowd pleaser"!
