India’s Technology Development Fund (TDF) Scheme has unveiled an ambitious project to design and develop an indigenous Smart Multifunctional Display (MFD) for fighter aircraft. This initiative is a significant stride toward modernizing the avionics of India’s fighter fleet, enhancing operational capabilities, and achieving self-reliance in defence technology.

The current fighter aircraft fleet relies on outdated cockpit display systems that struggle to meet the demands of modern combat and reconnaissance missions. These legacy systems are limited in providing pilots with real-time, integrated access to critical mission and flight data. The planned Smart Multifunctional Display aims to bridge this gap by offering advanced capabilities tailored to modern operational requirements.
