DRDO pitches case to develop next-gen infantry combat vehicle for Army


According to a top official, the Army is conceiving the project under the strategic partnership route, in which the Indian vendors can collaborate with foreign companies. But the DRDO is pitching to get it done through its Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment, the main laboratory involved in the development of armoured fighting vehicles. DRDO believes that the CVRDE has the core competency in developing the required technology. Notably, the CVRDE, which is based at Avadi in Chennai, is the developer of India's indigenous Arjun tank.

@porky_kicker the missile we saw in test of akash ng was pure cylinderical with radome nose cone , but a earlier picture sgared in wing tunnel testing is not proper cylinder ,it was quite different , so is it possible what we were thinking of as akash ng was actually a xrsam missile , and the fin position led us to believe that it was xrsam ??

Observe the nose cone it Doesn't look like akash ng exactly

That's a wind tunnel test model. The test model would always differ a bit from the actual one.

Thanks , btw do you know some update about xrsam ?? There was a tweet posted by @fire starter some days back , is the Missile configuration finalized and if yes then any idea about how it would look (those old render seems a bit copied from other missile

IA asked for tracked FICV. Kestrel is a wheeled one.

FICVs are for replacing BMPs. Kestrel will be needed for mechanizing the army. But before that theaterization and composition of IBGs need to be complete.

For XRSAM to come into stage, the tech of VL-SRSAM and QRSAM/Akash-NG needs to get matured enough first. Later ones are already there, but VL-SRSAM would have to undergo a couple of more tests before we see XRSAM coming into play.
As of now DRDO is just playing with media reports on it. They are giving out whatever rendering is available on open media. I think they will wait for arrival of first S400 component before going for unveiling of XRSAM.
