Boeing, which will demonstrate the ability of the F/A-18E Super Hornet to operate from Indian aircraft carriers, expressed confidence that the aircraft will exceed the requirements for India's multi-role carrier-borne fighters (MRCBF) procurement.

Two F/A-18E fighters will demonstrate the aircraft's capabilities at the Indian Navy's Shore Based Test Facility (SBTF) at INS Hansa in Goa, India, in the latter part of May. The tests are expected to last for a few weeks, going into June.

The MRCBF programme intends to acquire 57 naval fighters to partly equip India's first indigenious aircraft carrier (IAC), the 40,000-tonne INS Vikrant. The carrier is scheduled to be commissioned in August.

Alain Garcia, vice-president of India Business Development, Boeing Defense, Space and Securityand Global Services told Janes that the aircraft will conduct jobs requested by the Indian Navy, and in different configurations.
