Winning solution for India

Issue: 07-2009By Michael E. Rietz, International Programme Director, F/A-18Illustration(s): By 305_2.jpg

The Super Hornet will provide the Indian Air Force (IAF) a tactically superior and combat proven multi-role combat capability. Boeing and its industry partners will provide the timely transfer of advanced manufacturing technologies and internationally recognised programme management practices that will enable the successful licensed manufacture and on-schedule delivery of Super Hornets by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the MMRCA Lead Production Agency, to the IAF.

Boeing and its industry partners commit to a 50 per cent direct offset programme that will provide Indian industry access to a wide variety of advanced aerospace technologies and offer its defence and aerospace industry the opportunity to establish meaningful, long-term business relationships with US industry. The F/A-18IN Super Hornet configuration offered to India is based upon the US Navy’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and has been customised to meet the requirements set forth in India’s MMRCA RFP

We are confident that the Super Hornet is the winning solution for India because of its demonstrated multi-role combat capabilities, its demonstrated operational availability, its demonstrated low cost of ownership, and its commitment to the transfer of advanced military and industrial technologies.
