Samtel Completes Supply Of 1000 Multi-Function Displays For Su-30MKIs

Samtel Avionics has achieved a milestone by completing supply of 1000 units of indigenously manufactured Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for induction into frontline Sukhoi Su-30 MKI aircrafts. 

The proud accomplishment implies that now out of a planned fleet of 272 Sukhoi aircrafts with the Indian Air Force, 143 would be flying with India-made MFDs – a critical component of an aircraft cockpit. It may also be known that SHDS is the only company to receive CEMILAC (Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification) Type Approval for MFDs in India.

Contract signed in 2008, Samtel is responsible to develop avionic systems for HAL for SU-30MKI, LCAs and Jet Trainers as part of ‘Make in India’ and indigenization program in the defence sector.
