Just happened upon the avionics testbed for the F-35. I wonder if the A320(to my knowledge) that they will use for the AMCA avionics test bed end up looking like this too

We have modified a-319 for it

Autonomous/Automatic retargeting & missiles to missiles data link - wolf pack

Isn't this just a bit refined form of what Russian P-500 Bazalts are doing since 1975

Tejas with Astra.....

@patriots

I remembered someone, once criticized the middle connector between the pylon and the adaptor of Astra!!! anyone has idea why it is like that? why do we need a connector to connect our own missile to our own aircraft?

Well then who exactly delivered the last of the FOC LCA Tejas??

L&T, Tata??

How does he differentiate screwdrivergiri from genuine indigenous R&D?

Amazing resolution. We need this in the valley yesterday.

 

[skunk works]

And people would ask, why govt is not allocating fund for AMCA.

Investment partners?? Is GOI still expecting private companies to front tens of millions of $ for R&D???
What Indian company has that kind of money lying around? BC economic survey g***d me daal liye ho kya.

The Granit did something similar back in 1969. Out of a missile Salvo, the missiles 'elect' one missile.as the leader.
This missile then climbs higher and illuminates the target with its radar, and sends target information to the other missiles, who are flying wavetop level, below enemy radar.
Thus only one missile is vulnerable to interception.
If the leader missile is intercepted by the enemy, the missiles elect another leader, which then climbs up to altitude to continue radar tracking of the target.

Bhaiya the potential of getting understanding of advanced tech and manufacturing possibility for a private cos which doesn't knows much even for components will be highly beneficial but I don't believe in private cos for any aeronautical sh*t, HAL will do , first let some private company come up with atleast it's own male UAV or basic trainer aircrafts then we can talk about their interest in aeronautics, but till now all they are willing to do is screwdrivergiri.
Only private cos which seem to ready to innovate are the startups and a few already established ones like MKU and Solar.

While the allure of exotic technology should be a good attraction, you and I know this philosophy is simply not ingrained in us as Indians at all.
The reason westerners rnd up pioneering so many technologies is that they can adopt non-matured tech and take a risk with it.
Meanwhile our imported air force wants F-16 level product without paying in advance for F-5 level technologies.

By removing every letter from IDDM except the first D and doing extensive scrutiny on it.

That was done in FY 21-22. They supposed to deliver 4-5 trainers in FY22-23

 

[SwordOfDarkness]

Could they use APFSDS type round once they get closer? That should help against ERA.

apfsds relies on having speed of mach 5-7 to penetrate tank... Good luck fitting a barrel like that on a UAV

How about this

Maybe a interest of research for drdo

There is a fine line between clever and wise.

Making an APFSDS without using a gun and this process creating the only guided APFSDS; is 80kg missile capable of travelling at Mach 5 and generating so much much of kinetic energy at a distance of 4km that no warhead is required...clever

A small COTS drone light enough to be carried in backpack and armed with a 2kg warhead which is more than enough to penetrate the thin roof armour at a distance of more than 10km...wise
