Addendum to what I posted above:

Wing area vs MTOW for F-22 vs F-35 and HAL AMCA (provisional) for basic L/D comparison

i.e AMCA closer to ratio of F-22 here.

F-22 MTOW = 38 ton, wing area = 78, wingspan = 13.56, AR = 2.36
F-35 MTOW = 30 ton, wing area = 43, wingspan = 11, AR = 2.81
AMCA* MTOW = 25 ton, wing area = 55, wingspan = 11.13, AR = 2.25

Wave drag reduced by lower AR (supercruise at M 1.5+, given massive wave drag spike at mach 1 region), hence why F-22 AR compared to F-35

i.e F-22 more optimised to supersonic combat, F-35 subsonic and transonic.

Looks like work on the DAS prototype has begun...

The proof of concept for the sensor fusion software looks like it'll only have 2 sensors to begin with. The system would probably be integrated on the DRDO A319 FTB first...

...not unlike how F-35's EODAS was first fitted on the B737 FTB:
