GDL I assume by content you are taking radar, engine as a single component ? what about the structures like wings, ribs, body panels should they be classified as a single complex component?
for an a.c
– radar
– engine(s)
– wings+body panels
– actuators
– cockpit avionics (navigation)
– avionics (mission – a2a, a2g)
– wheels!
– fuel system, FADEC
– mission computers
– FCS computers
– ejection seat
– weapons
– pylon electronics
– radio / comm systems
– ECM offensive – jamming pod/internal
– ECM defensive RWR , MAWS
– lasing/FLIR pod
I would take the whole airframe, internal and external, as a single component too. But, again, it could be made up of parts from foreign and local sources, or entirely sourced from either. When it comes to defining indigenous in the broader sense, I think, if the aircraft is designed at home, has a reasonable % of local parts built in (not necessarily critical systems), and is then finally fully assembled at home, 99 people out of 100 in that country will label it local.
