Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) selected the Lahav Division advanced avionics package to optimize the operational performance of their Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) DHRUV. The ALH is HAL's most modern helicopter and includes the latest technologies in its design.

The upgrade package utilizes subsystems, which were designed for the Russian MI-35 and KA-50-2 attack helicopters, and thereby achieves a common architecture for both assault and attack helicopters.
