EVALUATION OF AIR SYSTEMS

Stochastic analysis of suitability for integration into the CATOBAR platform.

INTERIM SOLUTION

Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II

Fifth Generation | Stealth Profile | CATOBAR

Probability Index 45%

Essential platform if systemic delays occur in the European consortium. The 'C' version optimizes the MTOW compared to the 'B', maximizing the radius of action and war load, requiring an arresting gear system.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE

FCAS (Naval Variant NGF)

Sixth Generation | Systems Architecture | C2

Probability Index 40%

Industrial and technological sovereignty falls on this vector. Indra, as national coordinator, prioritizes the integration of NGF sensors with the naval tactical network. Its disadvantage lies in the operational deployment timeline (2040+).

Dassault Rafale M

Generation 4.5 | Multipurpose | CATOBAR Tested

Probability Index 10%

The geometric and dynamic compatibility with designs analogous to the PA-Ng or Charles de Gaulle facilitates its physical integration. However, it lacks long-term industrial rationality for the national defense base.

CONFIRMED INTEGRATION

Loyal Wingman / SIRTAP / SeaGuardian

Unmanned Systems (MALE / HALE) | ISR

Integration Index 95%

The architecture of the new aircraft carrier requires the projection of unmanned force multipliers. The combat management system (SCOMBA) is undergoing a parametric upgrade to coordinate swarms and MALE/HALE vectors.
