DRDO, PSU and Private Defence Sector News

Already said before that drdo is modifying jpvc

Now Caracal should be shown the door.. If required JVPC could be manufactured in joint venture b/w OFB and some private firm

Nope

I don't think so because each have different types of ammunition.
The 5.56 * 45 round and the 5.56 * 30 round are not equal.
Have different properties w. r. to bullet velocity, maximum range, armour penetration etc.
The 5.56 * 30 round may not be suitable for counter terrorism and counter insurgency operations and may be under powered.
I am not saying that the Caracal Car 816 CQB should be the only choice. Any good weapon of its class can be considered.

Army issued RFI for 93895no. CQB 5.56mm carbine ( on January 2018) for FTP and 350500 no. 5.56*45 mm CQB carbine (on Aug 2018).

JVPC is for PDW 5.56*30 mm MINSAS round. It's been in development around since around 2005. Earlier avatar was known as Milaap carbine.

Caracal Car 816 is a carbine chambered in 5.56*45mm NATO. The Indian analogues of Car 816 will be Insas MK1C (from OFB), new 5.56*45 mm CQB (from OFB) and P-72 carbine (from SSS defence).

In addition to that OFB(Trichy) is offering a carbine called TAR carbine chambered in 7.69*39 mm and is similar to AK-74SU klinkov.

Media reports indicated that caracal deal is cancelled. It would be interesting to see which one gets inducted.
Incidentally in addition to JVPC clearing trials now, Insas MK1C has also cleared army trials in 2015, but was not inducted due to change in caliber requirement.

This is the 450 kg HSLD bomb fitted with Griffin LG kit

Range ~ 10-15 km depending on release altitude.

 

[porky_kicker]

Then there is this

NGLGB kit poster which talks about indigenisation of its components .

Bomb body is Mk 11 , 1000 lb ( 450 kg ) , fore fins are not shown . But it looks like Griffin 3 LG kit . IAF bought them few years back . Looks like some components being manufactured locally as shown in the 1st pic.

Range 10-15 km depending on altitude.

Now question is where is drdo LGB or NGLGB ( whatever it's name is ) ?

This looks like the 1000 lb ( mk 11 ) bomb fitted with Griffin LG kit

Kind of interesting considering in the post above same 1000 lb bomb is seen fitted with NGLGB ( Griffin 3 ? ) LG kit .

The upgraded Shilka

 

[Shashank Nayak]

Contrary to public opinion and those being peddled by media , I always maintained that apart from S2 , two other SSBNs S3 and S4 are in water ( in different stages though )

S4 outfitting is complete?

Good news?

Defence Ministry’s startup initiative takes wing; drones, ammo project identified

While the IDeX (Innovations for Defence Excellence) challenge was initiated in 2018, this year steps a significant mark up with cutting edge attack technology identified for development by the private sector—something that had been under the purview of state-owned defence organisations in the...

In Darin lll upgradation

D-JAG is an integrated EW system for warning and jamming that encompasses RWR, ECM, ESM functions and uses MPM based transmitters for jamming the enemy radars. The system detects and gives the information about the position of the RF sources illuminating the aircraft and applies the appropriate jamming technique.

I think DRDO LGB is also having 450kg penetrating warhead.

 

[porky_kicker]

Subsystems for the twin barrel 30mm AD gun being developed by OFB ready.

God only knows how that thing will turn up finally.

Development of multi function radar and command and control systems for Akash NG has been completed.

 

[porky_kicker]

A MWIR optical sight with a range of 1200 km for tracking has been developed

 

[porky_kicker]

Passive radar , does not emit signals , could be considered as a stealth radar. Detects targets by picking up reflections bouncing off aerial targets from FM / radio stations / cell towers and other signals emitters .

 

[porky_kicker]

Looks like this one is the ground launched version of the air launched drone ( or maybe a entirely different drone )

If former is true then it will be used to validate and refine the aerodynamics and flight control system etc before moving onto the air launched version

Eg in the air launched version the wings will be foldable. The ones above look fixed.

It's your channel isn't it...you know that fake Voice gives it easily.

 

[porky_kicker]

Whoever's channel it maybe , whatever voice one may choose etc ... should not matter as long as the content is good enough ( and not anti national / anti cultural )

Also self promotion is not a problem, unless one promotes how will others know of the same .

The main reason why I support freelance content creators is because they help to break the strangle hold of MSM , paid media etc , however small the effect , it must be encouraged and be supported possibly with constructive criticism if needed . And never discouraged over trivial points etc.
