RFI and tender process will take two years minimum.
if process is not derailed delivery completion is 36 months from signing of contract.
will have to check if manufacturing capacity is 10k per month or 10k per year.

Even if sss defence gets the contract do they even have the capacity to manufacture so many carbines?

no idea, at the moment.

 

[Chinmoy]

Nope.

Not all bvraam or most bvraam aren't launched with the nose titled up at high alpha coz unlike wvraam which launches directly from the rails, most bvraam gets ejected from the pylon, falls for some distance and then the solid motor fires. So irrespective of what is your plane's alpha, the missile will be shooting off level and straight.

There will be induced drag and that's why I said the range will be reduced from 340 km but it will still be 300ish km .

Look up how the Phoenix missile worked. The Soviets modelled the R-33 to work in a similar fashion. The missile always climbed up to a higher alt irrespective of the launch altitude of the missile. In this way the missile could travel a greater distance in medium of lesser density .

Looks like it will be SSSDef or AstrDef

But do Kalyani-Thales, Kalyani-ARDE, Caracal-Indian etc qualify as "indigenous". @Tactical Doge @Johny_Baba

I am not suggesting that SSSDef or AstrDef have all sub components as "made in India"

AON for Carbine has been approved under IDDM category. So Kalyani-Thales or Caracal would not fall under that category.

Meaning only ARDE carbine gets selected?

 

[Chinmoy]

Maximum chance for them. Yes.
But if SSS has worked on ground like they do on Twitter, they have a chance too.
Astr too could score if the do own the IPR of their design.

Is the EO sensor designed, developed and manufactured in India or is it imported.

 

[NoobWannaLearn]

Not at this moment.

So if they get the deal won't they delay the order?

Heron to begin with.

We have those?

Yes...

 

[tribendra bisoi..]

so in the production version, that antenna on the top will stay or go?

They might start with outsourcing manufacturing till they get their factory.
MoD will take its time to release order, they still have time.

Its an antenna for satellite communication.

for MQ9, they seem to have managed to fit the antenna inside the body?
