Those things which are in front of us do not need any proof. Any discussion with respect to those are futileThere is seriously something wrong with scientists community and armed personnel community. I don't see any foreseeable future for our Arjun project despite proving at multiple fronts, only 100+ are in service while we just ordered 400+ T90s to fulfill shortcomings. Same is the future of Tejas and Kaveri engine.
Defense or Security is a dynamic and fast moving reality. Technology in defense sector changes to keep pace with the requirement of that dynamics. An FRP issued in 2000 can not remain valid for 2019. The FRP issued in 2000 is meant for equipment to be made available by 2002 and not 2019.
The DRDO, OFB and DPSU want as much required parameters permanency as the tenures of their service. That simply is not satisfactory.
There must be an explicit clause in every RFI and RFP .... "This RFI / RFP is valid for six months only" so that if you can meet those requirement keep it or lump it. The DRDO, OFB and DPSU should not be able to beat you up with your RFP even after 20 years of its issue. Simple.
