So whats the length of penetrating sabot rod and how it compares to Wesern FSAPDS? Also keep up the good job about informing us about new developments. On unrelated noted any idea about latest progress being made on wide angle frameless HUD by CSIO? Ps: Cam you load the pictures on imgur and then share? Preferably watermark them.

Actually, its not! It has 1m difference in length and EHWT have 300kW battery output compared to 250kW of Varunastra

DRDO Transfers Technology for Bullet Proof Jacket

That is why i said spin off product, It does not mean necessarily its a clone copy ..

This is the version they were talking about few months ago, It has to be this ..

============

Visakhapatnam: After the successful induction earlier this month of anti-submarine heavyweight torpedo, Varunastra, into the Indian Navy, the Vizag-based Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL) has now set its sights on developing a variant that can be fired from the submarine.

NSTL is also working on an advanced version of an electric guided heavyweight torpedo for which the first set of sea trials are expected to begin by year-end, NSTL director C.D. Malleshwar told reporters here on Wednesday.

DRDO hands over tech to defence firm to manufacture bullet-proof jackets

Highlights

• The government has decided to procure 1.86 lakh bullet-proof jackets
• These jackets will be lighter in weight than those being used by the armed forces currently
• The DRDO has handed its technology to the private firm

NEW DELHI: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has handed over its technology to a defence firm to manufacture bullet-proof jackets for the armed forces.

The government has decided to procure 1.86 lakh bullet-proof jackets for the armed forces and majority of them will be manufactured by Kanpur-based private firm MKU Ltd which was given the DRDO-developed technology.

The MKU will produce bullet-proof jackets which will be lighter in weight than those being used by the armed forces currently.

In his address, DRDO Chairman S Christopher asked the private firm to maintain a strict vigil on the quality of the bullet-proof jackets which will be used by the Indian Army and the paramilitary forces

The EHWT is comparable to western torpedos in length and will hopefully arm the Shishumar , Scorpenes and P-75I subs. Space is a constraint in a sub unlike Ships.

Is this a drop test?
I just want to know its working principle now. Is it a cluster ammo or deep penetrating ammo?

Take a look at this GIF of DRDO NG-ARM

Can we make an air-to-air AWACS killer missile based on this technology? Its even using dual pulse propulsion. Could it be that this is infact a dual purpose missile with the capability to kill AWACS as well?

It could be used as an ant AWACS missile too, provided it is released from given altitude to cover the slant range.

Nice deployment of wings. Any info on its working principle?

How can it be another Astra when NG-ARM is 1.5m longer than Astra? And the diameter is too bigger than Astra.
