Developing light combat aircraft: foresight as the guiding principle
by Kota Harinarayana
International Journal of Foresight and Innovation Policy (IJFIP), Vol. 1, No. 3/4, 2004

Abstract: The Light Combat Aircraft is the smallest, most lightweight multi-role fighter of its class in the world. It uses state-of-the-art technologies. The aircraft development involved a disciplined and structured approach using the virtual organisation concept. An integrated team consisting of members from industry R&D institutions, customers and academia worked towards the realisation of the aircraft. Foresight helped in conceiving the challenging task, identifying a young team and providing a flexible organisational set-up. The cycle time for development was reduced using a distributed knowledge creation mode intermediated by organisational trust.
