Mods, requesting you all to rename this thread for 'DRDO and DPSU news and discussion'. For PSU purpose we should have another independent thread.

Can you give link? I think ARDE might be producing additional copies of OFB-DRDO GPMG which was modification of OUR FN GPMG.

Anyhow after Israeli order any indigenous development is practically dead.

It is inducted? We don't need American bombs anymore??
These are dumb cluster bombs

The CBU 105 is a smart sensor fuzed cluster bomb

DRDO has already demonstrated MMW sensor based bomblets

So common sense dictates that most probably they are working to miniaturise and improve it further inorder to package them into a cluster bomb

Ad2.37.14.jpg


As part of a TD project smart munitions to defeat enemy armour from its vulnerable top was initiated long time back

These technologies developed for the same included

1.Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP)—A copper liner serving as antenna for the sensor in the search mode and forming a single projectile in the attack mode.

2.Detonator Arming Safety Device for activating EFP warhead

3.Efficient capsule ejection system

4.Highly compact MMW sensor

5.Rotatoil parachute for stabilising the sub-munition and scanning the ground target

The technology was validated for 120 mm mortar rounds.

No idea on current status

That's heartening to learn our progress in missiles and ammunitions including smart weaponry is quite extensive .
