Is it 360 degree X-band or like 120 degree X-band with a combination of L-band or X and L-band for 360 degrees? IFF frequencies I heard use L-band and that is describing the MURAD
IFF is part of the ICNI (Integrated communications, navigation and IFF) subsystem, not IRFS (Integrated RF system).

The claim that there will be L-band antennas has been around for years, but they will probably be for wide-spectrum ESM, rather than radar.

This is the integrated IFF system to be used, combining interrogating/transponder functions.

Does TAI KAAN support the AESA Multi-Aperture Radar System (MARS)?

Which means that if we can secure 90+ engines for Hürjet trainer. Then we're better off than dreaming of something that in US eyes will prevent the sale of F35 to many potential customers.

That is my rough take on it. I can't be bothered to write more about it because it's empty talk. Let's look at what's possible.

As per @Sanchez ’s post everyone may use a different unit to calculate %ge of locality.

1. percentage of value.
2, percentage of weight and/or volume
3. percentage of importance


But as per @TR_123456 ’s post, if you don’t have an engine the rest is superfluous.
Had we been a country like Sweden who could easily buy a F404 or F414 engine, then to use one of the above 3 as a basis of calculation would have meant something.

The new CEO of TAI, Mr Demiroglu last year at the beginning of Summer had said that both f404 and f110 engines‘ purchase contracts were to be finalised within a few months as they were waiting for the US Congress approval.
We are now only a few months away from a year since that statement was made.

We don’t have guarantee of supply of neither engine. Yet we are talking about Hurjet and KAAN serial production. US is now the most untrustworthy equipment supplier. And we have all our eggs in their basket. I wonder if we have even enough F110GE129E engines for the prototypes we have so long been waiting for?
That’s right. Which calculation method our government or TAI is using? Regard from the importance of single parts like engine. For example, is it the number of parts? If we need 10 parts to produce one jet, and 9 parts can be produced indigenously and needs to be imported, means 90% self sufficient. On the macro calculations.

That's a very simplistic way of looking at things. without the engine, those things are not worth nothing, so back to 0.

The government uses the method that gives them most votes.

"On the sensor side, the approach in KAAN can be described as “omnidirectional-multispectral”. For detection in the RF band, BURFIS (Integrated Radar Frequency System); will provide a nearly 360-degree detection and electronic warfare capability for KAAN thanks to its nose, tail and lateral radar arrays."

I get that feeling, you don’t understood my question. Don’t put any assessment into it. We all agree that a simple screw doesn’t have the same value as an engine. I only want to know which calculation method the government used. Not, which you can or I can use or will. Or which method is “better” or more correct.

They calculate it based on monetary value. Both in individual systems and in the aggregate, localization ratio is the sum of the value of domestic goods and services divided by the sum of the value of total goods and services used. It's a metric of economic contribution. As has been pointed out ad nauseam, even a cheap foreign part can block production of a system, but that's not what this metric is intended to measure. Different metrics keep track of different things.
