It seems that they modified the new drag-optimised droptank for Tejas to carry the Swarm drones.
2. CATS ALPHA this is a airborne swarm carrier pod, while the autonomous swarm drones are named as ALPHA-S .
This Cruise missile however is not the CATS Hunter. This one seems to be the same one that we've seen before in previous MWF models.
What does CATS stand for?Regarding the weapons which are part of CATS program

1. CATS HUNTER which is a stand off cruise missile
There are 2 variants shown
A. With a large RF seeker
B. With a IIR seeker ( behind the optical transparent screen on the nose )
There might be other variants depending on the payload types.

2. CATS ALPHA this is a airborne swarm carrier pod, while the autonomous swarm drones are named as ALPHA-S .
Multiple ALPHA-S drones are carried inside the pod in what seems like a rotatory dispenser mechanism.

The one on the left is also CATS ALPHA ( but non transparent model )

3. CATS WARRIOR wingman with internal payloads , in pic SAAW is shown as one of the payloads.
This should clear all the confusion.
Maybe SWiFT kaveriLCA MK2
