Instant Fire Detection and Suppression System (IFDSS) for ARJUN

Instant Fire Detection and Suppression System (IFDSS) is a micro controller based fire detection and suppression system for vehicle/Tanks. The Equipment automatically detects the fire and suppression of fire is carried out either automatic or pressing manual override switch in crew as well as in engine compartment of the tank.

The detector unit have IR sensors and detects the fire in crew compartment and send the confirmation signal of fire to Main Control Unit (MCU) over Control Area Network protocol. The Main Control Unit (MCU) takes the necessary action to activate the fire Extinguishers.

A “Fire-Wire” is a flexible heat detecting wire, having one or more elements joined in series by means of various connector accessories. It is simply a linear Thermal Detector, which is directly interfaced with the Main Control Unit. It’s logic is designed for detection “Over Heat”, “Fire”, “Open Circuit” and “Short Circuit” conditions.

The system has feature of continuous health monitoring of Detector Units, Alarm and Flasher unit, Fire wire and Fire Extinguishers. The system also has the features like Built in Test facility (BITE) and Audio-Visual indication of “Over Heat” and “Fire” conditions in Engine compartment.


1.Built in Test facility (BITE)
2.Monitoring of Detector units, Fire Wire, Alarm & Flasher unit and Fire Extinguishers
3.Simple Man-Machine interface (MMI)
4.Environmental specification as per JSS 55555
5.Easy maintenance and repair
6.Low Power Consumption
7.False Free Operation
8.Auto cut off voltage below 18 V and above 32 V
9.Electromagnetic Compatibility as per MIL Std 461C.
10.Audio and visual indication of “Over Heat” and “Fire”conditions in Engine compartment.

Mobile MOTR

It is a scaled down version of MOTR (multi object tracking radar).

Mobile MOTR is to be used for Acquisition of short range targets.

i am posting it here because chances r like its big brother MOTR (version) which ended up in the 10,000 tonnes Project VC-11184 ship , it might similarly end up for defence application.

MOTR can detect and track a 50x50 cm object at a distance of 1000km so this should enable it to track ballistic missiles with a range of 4000-5000km albeit with necessary tweakings.

even Mobile MOTR will have a decent tracking range

chances r high that Mobile MOTR might be used to track the terminal phase of the different types of missiles under development/testing. maybe positioned along the coastline

also a version of this Mobile MOTR might end up in the 3900 Tonne DRDO Technology Demonstration Vessel (TDV) ship being built by CSL for the DRDO at its shipyard.

Hyderabad gets a unit to test 1,000 kg rocket bomb

Hyderabad: Defence minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday dedicated a 50 tonne Rocket Motor Test Facility at BDL’s Ibrahimpatnam Complex and dedicated it to the nation.

The Rs 48 crore state-of-the-art unit is the first of its kind for a defence production unit. The facility for surface-to-air missiles will support design and vendor development activities.

The test bed can withstand a load of 50,000 kg and explosive limit of 1,000 kg.

During his whirlwind visit to the state, Mr Jaitley participated in development programmes at BDL, Midhani and Ordnance Factory in Medak.

He held the ground breaking ceremony for Phase-2 construction of facilities at Bharat Dynamics Limited, Ibrahimpatnam. The BDL has acquired 632 acres from the state government to establish manufacturing, testing and storage facilities for medium range and quick reaction surface to air missiles.

He also inaugurated the production of the Astra weapon system, an indigenously developed air-to-air Beyond Visual Range missile developed by DRDO, with a range of 110 km at Bhanur. He also inaugurated a 5-MW solar photovoltaic power project at the BDL Bhanur unit.

At Midhani, he dedicated Phase-1 modernisation to the nation and performed ground breaking ceremony for Phase-2. Earlier, he visited the Ordnance Factory, Medak, where he flagged off first bar-coded Infantry Combat Vehicle BMP-11.

Why is everyone like "meh" to news here?
.
This 50 ton Rocket Motor test facility at BDL is most probably for 1st stage of Surya ICBM.

[P.S - BDL is actively involved in developing strategic missiles with DRDO]
