DRDO, PSU and Private Defence Sector News

It's not that 30 drones are prices 140 cores. It's just that 30 drones have been delivered out of a total of a unknown quantity.

Number is in thousands tens of thousands

IA couldn't managed barrel burst this time because trials were taking place under round the clock video surveillance. Now Poor fellows are forced to try cheep trick.
Such dishonest general we have got! Month ago they were crying relentlessly for ATHOS now fell silent.
As I am saying since ages. Our armed forces are blind they can't see what they need next day forget about being visionary.
Now People will understand why private players don't want to deal with armed forces and why India left with no choice except to rely on PSUs.

Man Atags is such a great product

Okay got it , but drone cost just above 20 lacs , it's the ground system which are expensive.

I read the wrong info , the thousands number was expected order if it is perceived well

Arjun saga.

@airstrike99 nibba, told u this wud happen. Anyway, let's wait for confirmation

IA is the worst when it comes to setting RFIs. ask for electric drives and then hydraulics, why cudn't they just go with hydraulics
i wud suggest all to look at RFIs for FRCV and FICV. both r supposed to be a family of vehicles meaning there must be a lot of commonality, but irony RFI's are issued seperately with any instructions on spares/commonality

@Bleh is it possible when 1 vendor to win FRCV and an another vendor wins FICV and collaborate

me thinks impossible!! maybe this is where DRDO has a chance????

What happened to the triangle notam?

Ofcourse they remember that just now...

GSQR for ATAGS has not yet been released. Its only been PSQR on basis of which DRDO & TATA/BF are working. The all electric drive has been incorporated much before the PSQR has been released.

DRDO has the habit of outdoing themselves on certain projects. ATHOS which was to be procured by 2017 has hydraulic drive. Why on earth DRDO has to go with all electric drive in first place? That too even after knowing the fact that Hydraulic drives are better then electric mostly in high terrains.

The best way was to make two both the system. TATA should have gone with Electric drive and BF should have gone with Hydraulic drive. But making a hydraulic drive is easier then electric drive and it would also cut down on few kgs. So don't loose sleep over it.

May be they fire Nirbhay also !

I wonder how the role of Rudram 3 would be different from that of Brahmos-A. Both of them seem to be carried one per aircraft, have comparable range and speed, and both are surface to air. Doesn't it seem redundant?

Rudra M3 BRAHMOS
ALBM ALCM
Cheap Costly
Light weight Heavy weight
To be used against a enemy buildup To be used against strategic HVT.

140 crores for 30 jhandu drones? Armed forces getting 100 times more kickback money in the name of emergency procurement. Bravo...

You see, people here keeps on attacking babus over delays. But they do come in handy in situations like this.

This deal was made under single vendor condition and you should be thankful that it got through and order has been placed. Now coming to deal, don't believe what comes out in tweeter at the drop of a hat.

"ideaForge has been awarded this contract after it emerged as the only vendor that qualified the operational requirements in an evaluation done in real-world conditions, for a fast-track procurement," it mentioned.

The company said "undisclosed quantities of a high-altitude variant of ideaForge's SWITCH UAV" will be delivered to the Indian Army over a period of one year.

bro, 1 doubt. normally we r taught that electrical/electronics > mechanical, how does electrical drive weight over hydraulic????

IA has to operate ATAGS in the desert of Thar to Snow of Himalayas to the wet and humid region of himalayan foothills.
A hydraulic drive is always better then a electrical one in such diverse climatic condition.
