Intresting that the guy who confirmed that TASL built ATAGS has completed its trials yesterday confirmed that it still has electric drives so why the nautanki and delay for a year then ?
Was fake news perhaps .It is so normal in defence news that firangs think that there is disinformation wrt our acquisitions.

Not necessarily. as per new DAP , after evaluations user(in this case IA) will give evaluation certificate irrespective of whether they buy or not. so we will have to wait till we know what exactly IA orders.

Working on the assumption that the above tweet is by someone in the know .. it means the army never even asked for such a modification.IMO it is more likely that a competing vendor spread fake news since they had hydraulic drives.. But you are right we will only get to know when the MOD actually buys them.

Difference between KSSL/BF ATAGS and TASL ATAGS.
Specifications are the same but looks different. Shorter trails as compared to TASL system. Different electrical system, Hydraulic based mobility system, etc,. because ARDE had mandated both development partners to independently design the system around Ordnance provided by ARDE.

Cant we bounce it off the ionosphere like in Radio waves?
Most of the time sub systems are receiving signals which can come from great ranges

Specific tasks have specific ranges and specific methods to achieve it

Eg

if you need to jam a ground based emitter how are you going to do that via bouncing off the ionosphere ? Your jamming signal will lose power drastically and pretty much useless , actually it won't even travel via ionosphere bec ionosphere bounces specific Freq only and those Freq will be useless for jamming purposes

if you need to jam satcom signals in your area you will need to beam a stronger signal from ground which the receiver will be forced to catch , but again the signal you are transmitting will be limited by radio horizon etc , so you can deny satcom signals within a specific zone around you



Anyways I am no expert , best ask someone with domain expertise for confirmation

I donโ€™t think to Jam you need a stronger signal. just enough power That will breach the rssi threshold set on the receiver.

making those things work seamlessly itself is a pain in the ass, jamming creates a whole bunch of issues to your own system as well.

but different waveforms have different resilience level like PTW.

What you and i think don't matter

Specific cases have specific solutions

Satcom jamming works different , down link (GPS) signals are always weak , so this weakness is exploited , ie force/fool any gps receiver to lock onto a identical signal (same characteristics of a GPS signal from satellite) which is beamed from a ground station and hence stronger, thus denying the receiver the actual GPS signal (weak) or provide a incorrect gps signal

Just google better explanation than mine will be available

Other specific cases , like jamming a FCR will need a specific solution like burning through via more power etc
