[aarav]

Could mimic cruise missile ,aircraft & drones ,gives realistic picture of our SAMs capabilities,has similar intake as nirbhay ALCM

What is the system getting tested on that rig ??

It's a dummy missile on the rig.
For which specific missile I don't know

 

[porky_kicker]

Frequency hopping and burst comms intercept system

Pressurized containers for Akash missiles

Blue laser for underwater communication.
Experimental prototype

 

[porky_kicker]

The black portion , incase anyone is curious about it. It is made up of this

Conical rubber based RAM ( radar absorbing material ) sheets . It works in a specific range of frequencies.

Conical rubber based RAM ( radar absorbing material ) sheets . It works in a specific range of frequencies.

Which frequencies ? X-band ?
What benefits would a half face covered with RAM bring ? Why not cover the whole thing with RAM.
From the looks of it that thing would attract all kinds of debris/dust. Maintenance will be a pain in the ass.

Dead. We are going for C295. It is turboprop engine in C295.

What is it worth without a Missiles on merely with Konkurs ? Night enableness I am sure is not merely for a taxi job.

What is the upgrade in Cannon ?

The idea of RAM coating or RADAR deflection is to apply them strategically. Its basically the overall shape which defeat RADAR. These coating or structures are placed at portions which would reflect maximum RADAR waves. Moreover these are modular and maintenance is not an issue.

They will be removed instead of being cleaned ?
Wonder if the Vishakapatnam class will have these. I mean initially the Kolkata didn't.

RTA is the Regional Transport Aircraft for civilian purposes!
C295 has no relevance here.

Civilian plane has little difference with military transport plane. So, India may opt or C295 as both civilian and military plane or get C295 and RTA together to hedge the risk.

C295 has risk of foreign companies backstabbing at the last minute and hence going for RTA in parallel may be preferred. In this case, RTA will also be made. If only C295 is opted for, then C295 itself will be used as civilian plane with modification

They would be removed to be cleaned. Now Vishakhapatnam class would too get these for sure if needed.
