BANGALORE, India, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd reports it is inaugurating its new Strategic Electronics Factory for advanced avionics on Saturday.

The production facility, which is fully operational, is located at Kasaragod in Kerala and is producing Airborne Special Purpose Computers -- such as mission computers, display processors, radar computers – for upgrades for India's SU-30, LCA, and MiG-27 aircraft.

It is also slated to produce avionics for medium, multirole combat aircraft. Among the systems: automatic electronically scanned array radar, electronic warfare suites, communication and navigation systems.
