 Much of the criticism of the LCA program has been aimed at the "Kaveri" and Multi-Mode Radar programs.There has been much criticism of the degree of realism in the DRDO's planning schedules for various elements of the LCA programme, most particularly for the "Kaveri" development effort.France's SNECMA, with over half a century of successful jet engine development experience, took nearly 13 years to bring the "Rafale" fighter's M88 engine to low-volume production after bench testing had begun; a similar timespan for the less-experienced GTRE would see "Kaveri" production beginning no earlier than 2009.
