BFR.

Please enter a message with at least 30 characters.

Yeah but which bfr ?
Never seen this one before

Its not an integral one. But we might see its use in T-90 an may be in Arjun too.

This is a smaller version of BFMR for tank commander and crew.

This should be of huge interest to many......

I was always searching for the air dropped " very large fuel air explosive ( FAE ) bomb of unidentified type " and have not found it till date and I know about the air dropped nuke which is a next generation upgrade from the one whose pic i posted sometime ago.

DRDO has published info on a smaller 500 kg FAE bomb , but I have reasons to believe there is a larger one , it's need was felt during Kargil , availablity of huge FAE bomb would have killed those pigs inside bunkers because of the tremendous overpressure effect combined with oxygen deprivation.

Conventional bombs with fragmentation warheads are not much effective because it needs pin point strikes on a single bunker and even then might fail to penetrate the bunker with the fragments not even reaching the interior. Multiple pinpoint strikes needed to incapacitate a multi bunker complex. While a single large FAE bomb will do the job in single strike.

And on another note it seems NSA and CIA has completely breached indian security at some point of time around 2004 and maybe till date.

Three NSA sites worked in tandem to breach indian military signals and comms, mainly targetting nuclear and missile programs.

1.Australia NSA facility codenamed RAINFALL

2.Thailand NSA facility codenamed INDRA

3.Thailand NSA facility codenamed LEMONWOOD

Interestingly LEMONWOOD is a Foreign Satellite (FORNSAT) collection facility.

Yep what you said is around 80% correct these signal collection point's mainly used as baslitsic trajectory tracker and deleicated com interception, up to 2008 Indian secure connection was partially analogue which also consist of less secure 3 shift generated passsive encryption, so After snowden leaks the gov found out that most of military coms vunerable to these kind of snoop, so Indian military command initiated a policy to digitise all com network and using deleicated network protocols ,thus it privent further snooping, as of today USA can still listen if our military coms which are not modernised by a snooping station called pin gap in Australia

Yes,

What is important is the telemetry data which is beamed by the telemetry package in the test missile . That is what is intercepted during testfires from hostile sigint stations to know about the test sequence , test parameters etc etc relating to the missile and RVs.

Indians were alerted even before Snowden leaked it.

They can listen all they want now , but that is only the beginning of the headache given the counter measures like burst mode / LPI transmission , encryption at both application layer and physical layer , using combination of DHSS and FHSS techniques , or combining FHSS with OFDM and time hopping techniques for lowest possible SNR at the hostile receiver end to impaire his capability to discriminate between noise and information carrying channel corrupted by noise. And then it can be further complicated for digital channels by using AWGN channels etc etc

And if that is not enough, directing conformal noise via noise generators and jammers towards the known hostile SIGINT sites will create a shadow transmission complicating evesdropping.

All these depends on the credibility of Indian ability in the sphere of proprietary ( not COTS/ imported ) hardware and software ie processors , TX/RX modules , encryptors , and protocols etc.

When is the possible induction?????????

30 character rule sucks

R&D side seems to be coming along very nicely these days but there still seems to be a bottleneck at the validation/certification/acceptance/production end. So many systems enter testing but so few seem to make it to the users.


And with all these products being readied the need for a dedicated company aimed at marketing these to foreign operators can no longer be ignored. Imagine how much revenue could be generated and these funds could flow back to fuel more R&D efforts.

It is one the tallest military structures in the world and it is in India

what it is ?

Some kind of anttena or satelite receivers.

 

[Enquirer]

dst

What's its status? It's been a while...

Development completion slated for 2022.

 

[Anikastha]

This is the DRDO 500 kg FAE bomb

.............................. For concept only not to be confused with functionality

Dont we already have this for PDV.
PAD had radar to guide it and proximity sensor to take out enemy RV.

Think who has screen shot it..........:biggrin2:

Wont be surprised if they test this in near future..........already hints are given by project director........

Actually he was talking about something else.

Impressive. You know how would a concrete building hold up against it?

 

[cyclops]

I hope DRDO looks at developing something along the lines of the General Atomics Avenger or the Northrop Grumman Global Hawk, based around the HTFE-25.

......................................

As per Ministry of Defence,
"The improved design of HTFE-25(Core-2) engine run was successfully carried out by HAL on January 10, 2018. The HTFE-25 Core-2 light up was flawless in the very first attempt. Its engine has an improved HP Compressor spool configuration to cater to upcoming twin-spool Full Engine development."

Concrete buildings wont have chance against FAE , layered Military bunker may stand still. But the amount of heat and pressure created by FAE bomb will sure roast humans inside that Military bunker. Its worst way to die. Use dozen FAE on Paki bunker , document it and upload on social media. Aftermath Evry idiot inside paki bunker will be in fear throughout his delployment.

There is a similar functional example. RIM-161 SM-3, part of US Navy Aegis BMD.

There really isn’t much holding them back now once they have the HTFE-25 ready. The sensors, radars and communication systems are all about developed in-house.

Hope DRDO starts thinking about this seriously very soon

But I think it will take at least another 5 years to mature
