DRDO, PSU and Private Defence Sector News

[patriots]

There was JV between DRDO and Mahindra right to develop an engine to power Rustom, didn't workout?

Vrde engine is flying....but austro is a proven engine.....may we vrde engine will take some time .........

 

[Sridhar_TN]

LCH will have them in the same location more or less

Note the patched up area near the EO pod , could be one location for one of the sensors.

Are there any plans for such sensors? I haven’t heard a whole lot of talk on them after going through a few sources. Would be interesting to see if there are such plans.

LCH IADS (integrated air defence system)

It comprises of

1.LWR laser warning receivers
2.RWR radar warning receivers
3.MAWS missile approach warning receivers
4.DIRCM directed infra red counter measure system
5.CMDS counter measure dispensing system

Wow. DIRCM. That’s very very impressive. This is what will make the difference. That’s a good list right there. Interesting to see MIL standard Bus used. I assumed it’s regular CAN standard bus. I was also under the impression that SAAB prociddd the rwr, maws, lwr.

Bro what's the point of all this confusion.

Left or right side depends on the orientation of the individual observer with respect to the tank. Reason why this nomenclature should never be used as it creates confusion , reason why in ships it is port and starboard which describes the left and right side of the ship independent of which direction the observer is facing .

Loaders side is on the other side of the gunners side ( the portion where the gunners optical port is visible on the tank frontal armour )

Then what's the problem. That part you asked for are blow off panels.
And in the case of tanks left and right is said as your left or right when you are seated, front facing, inside the tank, like if you are the gunner........AFAIK
That's why i said "left side".
And when the image was inverted, i thought the other side was the loader side. That's all.

Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli has launched a Stabilized Remote Controlled Gun(SRCG). It comes with a 12.7mm M2 machine gun can remotely engage small boats with high accuracy during day & night. The SRCG can be mounted on warships/patrol boats.

Looks like the copied Browning they are using.

bro what is the status of drdo developed medium and long range electro optical pods.

 

[patriots]

bro what is the status of drdo developed medium and long range electro optical pods.

Basically the eo pod flying with rustom 2 is an Israeli one...but eo pod was in development....with other subsystems...
I will find it for you

License production maybe

 

[Shaitan]

License production maybe

Possibly, but they've been releasing a lot of products lately. And I am not aware of any agreements between OFB and some of these outside design's companies.

 

[Tuco]

Guys how far is the world realizing its first tank killing gun. Something that can fire a sabot round. 10~20 years away? If at all it materializes I think it will be miniaturized EM gun.

LCH looking menacing

Wish it had 3 weapon stations per wing

AAM pylon could be moved to the wingtip inorder to accommodate the 3rd weapon pylon. Same as below.

My question.
why in LCH we have bent wings and not straight as in cobra or Apache?

 

[Mindrapper]

My question.

Aesthetics maybe?

My question.

I have no idea

The designers will know the answer

 

[Holy Triad]

I think this is the same one used in dhruvs coast guard variant(which was recently tested).

My question.

Answer is in one of the interviews given by LCH chief test pilot Wg. Cdr.(R) Unni Pillai, can’t remember which one. is available on YouTube, probably writetake’s interview.

 

[Ultramarine]

My question.

That's an anhedral wing. It improves lift to a certain extent and also prevents helicopters from rolling at higher speeds. The Mi-35 that we have also has these wings.

Some planes too have it like the Harrier and the F-16(Tail wings) ostensibly to improve their maneuverability at higher AoA.
