DRDO, PSU and Private Defence Sector News

[rone]

Yea that's why DRDO is involved that's why DRDO studied twin boom design for so long right, that's why hal is offering ur VANILA heron mk2 with IAI

DRDO involvement was not for structuel design it was for engine, the proposed engine for "Archer NG" is Austro-330EP 177hp one, DRDO done limited high altitude test with it, it was rated for 30k feet altitude prolonged operations also DRDO helped in tweaking existing fight controls system for high altitude landings, tbh without decent amount of tot Indian PSU can't make any cutting edge tech in tactical segment, but in UCAV it was at cost of our own UCAV programs,

The Archer NG initial prototypes will have Austro-330EP 177hp engine later series production will have Jayam automtives 170-180 hp rated heavy fuel engine, hal will be the manufacturers of this UCAV, the main difference will be the composite material usage will be higher than original IAI version Heron TP ( because anti Iceing property), BEL will provide Optonotrics and advanced systems,

Ps: Archer ng will have a automated ecs (with possible MWS)

No... the question is valid

The picture you posted shows Armado with a 81mm Mortar

While Spanish Alakran is 120mm mortar system as shown in tweeted pic.

That's for representation purpose
We have it with armado only

As a first person who said Archer ng is heron mk2, yes it is heron mk2 mod( heron TP) variant not valina heron mk2, to be precise heron mk2 proposed German variant

Heron tp is a much bigger drone. Max take off weight of 5400 kg . Archer ng is 1800 kg.
Vanila heron is 1200-1300 kg.

They may have similar design concepts doesn't make it a copy no more than tedbf is a copy of rafale.

Just look at the projected nos and procured nos
That's why I think Stryker still has fair chance

The only Stryker variant army is currently interested in, is the M-SHORAD.
