Developed bythe Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the on board oxygen generation system (OBOGS) produces oxygen inside the aircraft, allowing the pilots to fly without the help of heavy oxygen cylinders they carry for high altitudes and long duration sorties.
“The Aeronautical Development Agency has started the ground integration process of OBOGS in the technology demonstrator version of the LCA Mark II. After the LCA, it will be integrated in all the frontline aircraft of the IAF,” W Selvamurthy, Chief Controller, Life Science, DRDO, said here.
