New Delhi: US aerospace major Lockheed Martin is aggressively pitching its F-16 fighter for an Indian Air Force - order, terming it 'the most successful international combat aircraft programme in history', even as it will display an array of aircraft and equipment at the upcoming Aero India 2007 show.
The other aircraft showcased at the Feb 7-11 show at Bangalore will be the C-130J Super Hercules, the P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft and the MH-60R maritime-dominance helicopter.
Also featured will be the Patriot PAC-3 missile defence system, the ship-mounted Littoral Combat Solution - system, and the MK-41 vertical launching system - for firing missiles at sea.
'Most of these products have potential to support the growing strategic military relationship between the India and the United States,' a Lockheed Martin statement said.
The company's focus, however, is clearly on the F-16 as it eyes a soon-to-be-floated tender for 126 multi role combat aircraft - to replace its ageing fleet of Russian-built MiG-21 jets.
The IAF had, in 2004, sent out a Request for Information - for four jets - the F-16, the Russian MiG-29M/M2, the French Mirage 2000-5, and the Swedish JAS-39 Grippen.

Russia is set to unroll its new high-altitude light helicopter gunships and has offered its co-development to India as a package deal, which could also forsee cooperation in building 10-tonne-class choppers.
The offer comes as the country is also ready to unveil its new Kamaov-60 and next generation 10-tonne-class MI helicopters, which can be used as heavy lift troop carriers.
India has desperately been seeking to induct light helicopter gunships for use in mountainous terrain following its experiences in the Kargil conflict when absence of such firepower forced it to use fighters firing missiles from stand off distance.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has been conducting trials on light helicopter gunships by modifying the Chetak and Cheetah helicopters and indigenous Advance Light Helicopters.
The Russian designers say that they aim to make presentations of the ventures to India during the forthcoming Aero India show to be held in Bangalore from February 7.

Kuala Lumpur: Russia's state-controlled MiG aircraft manufacturer will publicly unveil the final production model of its new MiG-35 fighter at an air show in India next month, the company said Wednesday.
The full technical specifications of the MiG-35 will be shown at the Yelahanka air base in Bangalore, India, on Feb. 6, a day before the opening of the Aero India exhibition, Vladimir Barkovsky, director of MiG Corp.'s Mikoyan Design Bureau, said in a statement.
Only the test prototype of the MiG-35 has been shown to the public so far at the MAKS Airshow Russia in 2005 and at Farnborough, Britain, last year, according to the statement issued by MiG through the Kuala Lumpur-based Asian Defense & Diplomacy magazine.
The aircraft is based on Russia's existing MiG-29M fighter, but is widely expected to have significant improvements in maneuverability, flight range and weapons systems.

Boulder, Colorado: Korry Electronics and Anark today announced a partnership to create a sophisticated 3D product and aircraft visualization tool. This solution will be used to interactively display the Korry line of custom-built control panels embedded within a virtual aircraft cockpit. This marketing-focused application will augment existing customer communication capabilities by providing highly detailed product images that emphasize individual component attributes and enhance consistency in product messaging.
Korry has developed a multi-tiered distribution plan for the new visualization application. Public displays will be offered at two upcoming aerospace tradeshows, Aero India and the 2007 Paris Air Show. This will be complemented by one-on-one sales presentations, internal product familiarization, and executive overviews.
“With our growing list of aerospace manufacturing customers, the upcoming Paris Air Show will be introduced to a whole new level of product visualization,” noted Anark CEO Stephen Collins.

Aero India 2007, one of Asia's most prestigious aeroshow and aerospace events, and an eagerly awaited event in the country, is due to open for business and public exposition on 8 February, 2007, and will conclude on 11 February, 2007. This sixth such event, like the previous five, will be hosted at Air Force Base (AFB), Yelahanka, Bangalore, and will consist of two major events - an international seminar and an exhibition, that will include static and flying displays.
Aero India 2007 is being organised by the defence exhibition organisation (DEO), a nodal agency for such events, functioning under the ministry of defence, government of India (GOI). For the first time ever, though, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and Farnborough International Limited have assumed responsibilities as event managers.
The exhibition at Yelahanka will have on display aerospace products from all over the world, and will also host the crowd-wowing flying display. The static displays in the hangars, and on the tarmac, will also allow the curious to come up close to birds that they have seen only from afar, or if at all.
The exhibition will cater to an international audience, allowing aircraft manufacturers and technology providers to showcase global aviation and aerospace solutions and services. The Yelahanka show will provide an ideal forum for the promotion and showcasing of these products.

Washington: A sales and marketing dogfight between American fighter jets F-18 Super Hornets and the much-ballyhooed F-16s will be just one of the star attractions in the Aero India 2007, which will be held in Bangalore from February 7-11.
Both Boeing, which makes the F-18, and Lockheed Martin, which manufactures the F-16, are flying down their machines and men for the Bangalore show, the first time that Americans are turning up in strength after the Aero India began in 1996.
Reason: The Bush administration has given the green signal for US arms merchants that India is no more out of bounds.
Besides two F-18 Super Hornets, Boeing will also be sending a giant C-17 transport aircraft and Chinook heavy-lift choppers for the show, a senior Boeing official said.
While one of the F-18s will be on display, the other one will be put through the paces at the show by Boeing's chief test pilot Ricardo Traven, who is flying down to Bangalore for the show.
The American jets will have to contend with three other international competitors who are lining up to bid for the 126-aircraft deal that the Indian Air Force is expected to call for shortly, one of the single largest fighter plane contracts in the history of aviation, worth a massive $7 billion at least.
Also in the race, Sweden's Grippen and Russian advanced MiGs. The prospective deal has been the talk of military aviation circles for several months now.
