[not so dravidian]

Afaik A-P anti-ship version is already under development.

Afaik the current configuration is already a HGV all said and done . What was missing was the RF seeker which is being incorporated for terminal guidance . Also relevant updated guidance algos to cater for anti ship role

Isn't the current config MaRV??
MaRV maneuver during terminal phase whereas HGV, after reaching low atmosphere seperate and glide??

 

[not so dravidian]

BTW, @porky_kicker Bhai, isn't the MaRV, too big.

2 or 3 cud be stuffed inside right??

A 1 Tbps capable SDN cross connect (called TCC) developed under an MOU between DRDO and the Gigabit Networking lab at IIT Bombay, is the first of its kind telecom class box to be indigenously developed in the country. The SDN box is a chassis-based telecom solution that has a 1Tbps capable backplane and multiple input output cards. In a typical scenario, the TCC can be deployed as a metropolitan or a core networking solution whereby it can process several million packets per second performing switching, routing and transport capabilities at carrier-class benchmarks.

Deployment scenarios: The TCC can be deployed to create a pan-India network leading to a multi-terabit backbone. The advantage of the TCC is that no other equipment is needed as part of the backbone – no extra switches, routers or optical gear is needed for performing Layer 0 – Layer 4 functionality in this network. Another deployment scenario is that of providing seamless connectivity in metro networks, such as joining several labs or enterprise points of presence within a city to each other. A third deployment is in the HPC space where multiple top of the rack switches in Ethernet mode can be connected to the TCC, thus facilitating intra HPC or intra data-center connectivity. We envisage that the TCC can be used in all the scenarios such as a pan-India network across strategic and tactical sites; a network within a city connecting multiple sites and within data-centers. Apart from a direct cost-advantage of the TCC as compared to other products, the TCC is completely designed and developed in India – it has no switching/forwarding/routing ASICs, implying that all the code is written by Indians in India with the IPR resting jointly between DRDO and IIT Bombay. The TCC thus is a truly Make in India effort and can be a perfect fit to the Digital India vision. Smaller versions of the TCC are being built leading to enterprise and intra government office connectivity as well. The TCC aims to be a best in its class switching, routing and transport fabric with 5 micro-seconds port to port latency – better than any product in its class.

Architecture: The architecture of the TCC consists of a backplane and multiple IO cards. The IO cards can at this time support multiple protocols such as IPv4, IPv6, VLANs, MPLS LSPs and OTN. Further the IO ports can be programmed by the user to send packets on a particular wavelength resulting in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing or DWDM. The IO cards are all stackable and can lead to a multi-terabit switching and routing system. A management complex is developed that consists of a software system that controls TCCs. The drag-and-drop based management/control GUI facilitates service creation, network performance monitoring, and provisioning – all at the click of a mouse to a readily authenticated user.

Services can be set up as point-to-point or multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) services from layer 0 to layer 3. These services can be of granularity 1Mbps all the way to 100Gbps. The platform uses concatenation techniques to multiplex several services while guaranteeing a bound on latencies. A key feature of the platform is that each service is provided with one or more protection routes that are edge and node disjoint. In the event of a failure the traffic on the main working path is seamlessly and within 50ms shifted to an alternate protection path. If the protection path fails, another protection path is ready and waiting and hence at any time the service continues to be ON.

Carrier-class performance: A key attribute of this platform is that it is carrier-class i.e. it is built with robustness at the service, card, node, chip, and management system level. In particular, the TCC has service availability features that are absolutely the best in its class – we provide 30-50ms protection on a per-service basis i.e. whether a service is provisioned as a 10Mbps LSP or a 100Gbps lambda, the protection time is less than 50ms. For each service the TCC provides diagnostics, such as per-service end-to-end latency, jitter, packet loss and deviations which can be programmed as per the user needs.

Software Defined Network adherence: One of the key features of the TCC is that it is the first box of this size that uses the SDN philosophy in its entirety in the country. No other vendor has so far built a completely SDN capable box which boasts of telecom grade gear and a 1Tbps fabric in India. Separating the data or forwarding plane from the control plane is part of the SDN philosophy. A standalone controller is used for programming the network to whatever are the users’ needs such as service set up, bandwidth calendaring (changing bandwidth on demand to a location), allocating higher security levels to a location, facilitating virtual networks embedded on a single physical infrastructure and multiple protocol support on a single platform.

The Gigabit Networking laboratory at IIT Bombay has been instrumental in two key technology developments in the telecom arena: the CESR and the TCC. | Industrial Research and Consultancy Centre

Can you ask him about more details, maybe a pic??
IMO it can't be an atgm, anything below 120mm in dia will compromise the penetrating capability, significantly. That leaves only manpads as the sole contendor for such a small missile.
Only thing I can think of with such a config is the rbs 70ng bolide missile with laser guidance, which has rocket motors thrust at sides. There's a make 2 project by IA for laser based manpads, so it might be an offering form drdo for that need.

I remember watching a very informative video on Arjun and FMBT shot during the handing over ceremony of Arjun Mk1A last yr. I think it was from Delhi Defense Review. Cant find it now. Anybody have a link or something!!?

Is DRDO working on comprehensive VSHORAD solutions?

I know MANPADS is under development. And there is a tender out for 220 AD guns.

However, do we have any programs for the following?
> Mobile gun missile system for convoys
> C-RAM system for saturation attacks

We can take a look at the following platforms for inspiration...
Guns:
> L/70 40mm with air-burst AD rounds, AP/HE rounds for ground targets
> Au-220m 57mm with air-burst AD rounds, AP/HE rounds for ground targets
> Oerlikon 35mm revolver cannon with air-burst AD rounds, AP/HE rounds for ground targets

C-RAM:
> AK-630 based gun platform
> Oerlikon 35mm revolver cannon
> DRDO MANPADS based interceptors
> Iron Dome Tamir/Halcon SkyKnight type interceptors

Multi-purpose Missiles (AD + AT)
> SANT based system with improved propulsion
> ADATS
> Longbow Hellfire

everything is present in home related to artilery, still we go for imports .

btw, why m777 was selected when we had nice homegrown options

So how would they achieve it? Favourable geometric shapes?
