NO

This is based on Dornier platform only right?
What are the major differences between this and Dornier?

Certified for civilian purposes. There can be certain amount of leeways or design faults allowed for mil version as the users will be trained. But no such leeways can be allowed for civilian ones. Would also include glass cockpit with radar/GPS etc. Nothing major.

The height of the Dornier is damn low. Saras was better. But if this is sold, Saras should be put off and concentrate on RTA70

BDL & MBDA sign agreement to establish Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile facility in India

Posted On: 2021-08-17 14:20:27 (Time Zone: UTC)

Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and MBDA are establishing a facility for the Final Assembly, Integration and Test (FAIT) of Advanced Short Range Aijr-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM) missiles in India. BDL and MBDA today signed a licencing agreement to establish the manufacturing facility in India. The agreement was signed by Shri NP Diwakar, Director (Technical), from BDL and Mr George Kyriakides, International Industrial Cooperation Director from MBDA in the presence of Commodore Siddharth Mishra (Retd), CMD, BDL at a virtual ceremony. Shri P. Radhakrishna, Director (Production),BDL, Shri N Srinivasulu, Director (Finance), BDL and senior officials of both the companies were also present on the occasion. Under the licensing agreement, MBDA will transfer the equipment and knowledge to BDL for establishing the facility. Work on establishing this capability in India is due to start immediately and is expected to commence operations by the year 2022-23. Commodore Siddharth Mishra (Retd), CMD, BDL stated that signing of the licencing agreement reinforces the Company's commitment to contribute towards 'Make in India' and the' Atmanirbhar initiatives of Government of India in the Defence sector. ASRAAM is one of the Within Visual Range missiles available and BDL will be manufacturing these at its Bhanur Unit for the domestic and export in future through MBDA. The new facility will provide India with the ability to carry out final assembly, integration and test of ASRAAM missiles.BDL has been endeavouring to enter into tie-up with foreign OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) in' pursuit of its expansion programme. The agreement signed with MBDA today, is one such effort,which will go a long way in further strengthening the collaboration, which BDL has with MBDA for its various missile programmes. Mr. George Kyriakides, International Industrial Cooperation Director of MBDA said: "We are very pleased to be establishing this new ASRAAM facility in India with BDL. MBDA has a long and highly successful history of working with BDL for over fourdecades, a partnership that has seen BDL manufacture large number of MBDAdesigned Milan missiles in India." The agreement to establish the facility follows on from an earlier Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between BDL and MBDA on ASRAAM FAIT signed during 2019. This new BDL ASRAAM facility will have the potential to also conduct maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of ASRAAM missiles. The facility can also be adapted to conduct final assembly, integration and test of the CAMM missile of MBDA. CAMM is the missile used by the Sea Ceptor naval air defence system that has been offered as Short Range Surface to Air Missile (SRSAM) requirement. ASRAAM, a Within Visual Range Air Dominance weapon, is New Generation Close Combat Missile. Its low drag, aerodynamic airframe, unrivalled speed and manoeuvrability throughout its flight, increased agility make the best missile in its category of weapons. The missile has full 'Lock On Before Launch' and 'Lock On After Launch' operating modes. BDL is the only Company in India involved in manufacturing various types of missiles and underwater weapons for supply to the Indian Armed Forces and friendly foreign countries. The Company also handles launchers, test equipment, refurbishment / life extension of missiles and counter measures systems for domestic as well as international market. MBDA is the only European defence group capable of designing and producing missiles and missile systems that correspond to the full range of current and future operational needs of the three armed forces (land, sea and air). MBDA has a significant presence in five European countries and in the USA.​ ​ BDL & MBDA sign agreement to establish Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile facility in India Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and MBDA are establishing a facility for the Final Assembly, Integration and Test (FAIT) of Advanced Short Range Aijr-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM) missiles in India.<BR><BR>BDL and MBDA today signed a licencing agre equitybulls.com

In my mind it was about Meteor. A short range missile? good idea.
I see a problem : ASRAAM is fitted with a US seeker, no? or maybe it is the occasion to developp a new one.
But as always with India, wait to see if it goes to a happy end.

Meaning pls explain for us non military enthusiats?

I thought that Meteor will never be given to fit a non west fighter (including Tejas, with its israeli radar), so no production in India.
The ASRAAM case is easier, as it is a short range missile so less sensible. The problem is that ASRAAM is fiited with a US Infra red seeker (the same than AIM9X american missile). If it's always the case, I doubt US will agree to give ToT for it. Maybe a new seeker for ASRAAM is on the horizon... a european one or better, an Indian one.
But in India there's always a long road between an agreement and reality. So many agreement were inked without real product at the end.

India already uses this missile , it replaced matra magic for jaguar fighters.
