Flight testing of general purpose 500kg aerial bomb

Testing covered ground adaptation, carriage and handling, limited separation and release of the bomb from Su 30 MK1 aircraft. The bomb exhibited adequate clearances when adapted on stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 7a, 7b, 8a and 8b.

During the carriage trials, the aircraft touched the carriage limits of 0.85 at 150 m altitude and completed 6.5 ‘g’ and full roll manoeuvres. Structural integrity of the bomb was found satisfactory after the trials.

dual panel long range multifunction radar

Will most probably replace the French MFR in the DRDO ABM system.

Looks like it will be housed in a static housing structure.
The radar system will definitely be huge in scale.
Possibility for ASAT support cannot be denied , though it's better to wait for the system to come out.
