US Navy Gets the first F/A-18 Super Hornet with HAL Gun Bay Doors

Boeing has delivered the first F/A-18 Super Hornet Combat Jet to the US Navy featuring a gun bay door manufactured by HAL. The gun bay door contract is the first military contract between Boeing and HAL.

Boeing and HAL are also working together on projects for the P-8I multi-mission maritime aircraft for the Indian Navy, and for the commercial Boeing 777 airplane.

The gun bay door covers the F/A-18's six-barrel 20 mm, externally powered M61A2 Gatling gun system that can fire 4,000-6,000 rounds per minute. Made by General Dynamics, the gun however carries only about 600 rounds.

The gun can be used in a dogfight. Also the aircraft is loaded with long-range precision strike weapons and missiles as the emphasis now is on beyond visual range (BVR) engagement.

HAL has already sent five sets of the gun bay doors to Boeing and 13 more are under manufacture as part of an initial contract. HAL is also hoping for a repeat order.

So far, Boeing has been sourcing gun bay doors from the Czech Republic's AERO Vodochody, which has already supplied more than 300 of these doors.

The gun bay door contract is not tied to any project but is part of a Boeing Initiative to source USD one billion worth of parts and services from India. As part of this, Boeing is also sourcing wire harnesses for the F/A-18 from HAL.
