Navi Mumbai-based Elcome Integrated Systems Pvt. Ltd. has been chosen by the Indian Navy through the Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) initiative to develop the Advanced Flight Control (AFC) Deck Lighting System for aircraft carriers. This project represents a significant step in modernizing and indigenizing critical systems essential for safe and efficient aircraft operations on naval platforms.
The AFC Deck Lighting System will be designed to integrate advanced technologies, offering greater efficiency, reliability, and compatibility with modern naval aviation requirements.
Deck lighting systems are vital for aircraft carriers, enabling:
- Nighttime operations: Providing clear visibility for pilots and crew during takeoffs, landings, and deck maneuvers in low-light conditions.
- Enhanced safety: Guiding aircraft movement and ensuring the seamless coordination of carrier-based aviation activities.
- Mission readiness: Supporting continuous operational capabilities in all weather conditions and lighting scenarios.
Key Features of the AFC Deck Lighting System
The AFC Deck Lighting System is expected to incorporate:
- LED technology for energy efficiency and durability.
- Modular design for ease of installation and maintenance.
- Enhanced control systems for precise lighting adjustments during operations.
- Compatibility with the Indian Navy’s current and future aircraft carrier designs, including indigenous platforms.
