So eyes is finally here, next is heart.

We need to go full speed on our Kaveri program. Failure is not an option. If we fail, keep trying and plow ahead.

Hot Update

On August 26 this year, the DRDO formally completed the transfer of technology (ToT) to HAL for the production of the ‘Uttam’ AESA-MMR, that will first equip 44 Tejas Mk.1A L-MRCAs on order (the first 39 will use the EL/M-2052 AESA-MMRs supplied by Israel Aerospace Industries). According to HAL, it will take 48 months to develop a scaled-up ‘Uttam’ derivative for the Super Su-30MKI, with flight-tests slated to begin after 24 months of contract signature.

*Contract for 39x EL/M-2052 was inked much before this ToT... (For those who might wonder)

This update was given long ago by Sriram ji in twitter and even in ddr article

I will be at DEFEXPO 2022 Gandhinagar as a Business visitor, Please reply to this post with all your Questions and Requests. I will try to accommodate them as much as I can within my 2-day visit

+ another one for HAL if you can- status of their ALH(NUH), when will it be certified and when do they expect orders?

Then how do we get industrial economy of scale to meet our needs to meet any threat and be able to carry out war operations on a sustained basis?

Slowly, with time and investment. You cant ask tech start ups to become manufacturing powerhouses overnight.

No weapon is but western propaganda and Russian incompetence has given the company some good pr...anyway a delusional enemy is easier to deal with

Why blame the turks ?
When it was started and propagated by Indians themselves

 

[porky_kicker]

Why EO pod is at back end? not front?

I can only guess , but no point in guessing without knowledge of entire system

only the designers can give the perfect and correct answer

Imo position of eo pod will not matter if uav is strictly for air to ground application

Plus it might depend on the space constraints and arrangement of lrus inside the uav so the need to shift it

But nothing can be said with surety

The configuration of a Qrsam regiment .

View attachment 66476

A single regiment will have three batteries. Each battery will have a single BSR , a single BCPV and four combat groups. Each combat group will have a single Bttlefld multi function radar paired with a single missile launch vehihcle.
So a single battery will have-
1. 1 BSR
2. 4 combat groups - 4 missile launch vehicles
4 BMFR which will track and provide fire control inputs plus mid course updates to Qrsam missile.

3. 24 ready to fire Qrsam missiles .


A single Qrsam regiment will have 72 ready to fire Qrsam missiles. A single combat group is by itself autonomous and it can also perform the role of surveillance and acquisition. It's a battlefield multifunction radar. So you can break a single regiment into several combat groups without degrading their potential. The BSR will serve as a long range surveillance plus early warning radar of sorts.

Thanks Arihant. nice explanation about the configuration. I still have a query about the coverage area of a battery and regiment.
