In preparation for the LCA Navy getting back into the skies, perhaps by early next year, the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADA) is looking to fast-track the setting up of a shore-based telemetry facility to work with the test facility setup at the Dabolim airfield for STOBAR training.

ADA is looking for vendors who can take up design, development, procurement, testing, integration, installation, commissioning, maintenance and operation of a shore-based telemetry facility to facilitate LCA Navy flight testing. The telemetry station will need to have a tracking capability of 200 km, deploy all necessary sensors and monitoring systems with data and video intercom and distribution systems. Interested vendors need to provide onsite operations and maintenance for three years, with embedded engineers and technicians.
