Interesting article under testing , not the fins , 2 pylon grips indicate aerial bomb but profiling is unlike usual aerial bombs. I am estimating 500kg weight .

DRDO is already doing what you have mentioned. Now making a Lab fall under PSU has its own side effect. Moreover a organization like DRDO which is a culmination of many labs would go into a spin if any such idea is implemented.

Lets suppose that DRDO gets declared as PSU and registered in SE. Now on what basis you would be purchasing its share?

Neither DRDO enters in any MOU nor it releases any finished product in market. So what would you invest in?

Lets take ISRO. It has its own commercial wing which looks into the contracts and all. But even then its not listed in SE. Leave alone ISRO, even NASA is not there. Spacex being a private party is listed there, but it is more into commercial launch then research.

HAL could offcourse be enlisted along with OFB. They do release end product in market unlike DRDO.

As far as financing is concerned, yes that's an issue in India. IMO the most logical way is to cut it from GDP and make it available directly. Market based financing is too volatile for research lab to function.

dance of transformation and transgression needs to be made and done to awaken the new DRDO.

DRDO (+ Defense Industry).

There is a lot of support for DRDO but when that is the case there is a lack of structure and support for the rest. When there is less support for DRDO there is still a case there is a lack of structure and support for the rest. We need to have our Lockheeds, Sukhois, Boeings, General Dynamics, Raytheon, etc , etc, etc. There is a lot of money everyone can and still make money!! Bharat spending in Defense can increase and its role regionally and the world is also moving in that direction. We are not utilizing the transparency afforded by the stock exchanges of bharat for nation building enveloped by a proper structure of management selection and removal. my premise is still DRDO needs to move out of making prototypes and productionalisation and give it to others to do. the economics of DRDO is more to selling and making products and not developing and researching. the rest the experts are knowing. it's clear our economy and development needs to have an indigenous defense industry.

*reading a lot on DRDO these days sometimes its good to have misreading and move to a progressive manner.

appreciate you providing your comments and others moving the topic to a understanding of higher plane of thought.

Seemingly does have a blunt nose. It is done mainly to induce drag to slow down the fall.

Why to slow down a fall? So that the release platform have ample time to get out of danger zone.

Yellow Sun anyone??? Now as you always say, reader discretion is advised here.

DRDO gets clearance for missile test facility in A.P.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has granted environment and Coastal Regulatory Zone clearances for setting up Missile Testing Launch Facility on the Bay of Bengal coast and Technical Facility at Gullalamoda village in Krishna district.

With this, all necessary clearances to begin the construction work have been obtained by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The Hindu has access to a copy of the EC and CRZ clearance that was communicated by MoEFCC to K. Radhakrishna, Chief Construction Engineer (R&D)-S, Defence Research and Development Organisation, Secunderabad, on July 3.

The EC and CRZ clearance document says: “There is confirmation from Secretary, Ministry of Defence, that this project is a strategic requirement and of national importance and cannot be located anywhere else. It is thus exempted from the public hearing as per EIA notification 2016.”

The Environmental Appraisal Committee of the MoEFCC appraised the DRDO’s EC and CRZ applications during its 34th meeting in August 2018.

Technical studies
IIT-Madras and WAPCOS have done the key technical studies required for the project.

The MoEFCC has also placed 11 conditions, including preparation of Oil contingency management plan and disaster management plan, before the commencement of the construction of the project.

The DRDO has proposed to set up the project on 154.4 hectares in the Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary in Krishna district.

Robust plan
The technical facility will be developed on 130.15 hectares, while the test facility will come up on the 6.07 hectares, according to the project design.

“The DRDO has already prepared a robust plan to commence the construction work. All the necessary procedures to begin the construction work have been completed,” sources associated with the project told The Hindu on condition of anonymity.

Lightweight laser target designator . In service.

How light is it ?

Can it be carried by a SF buddy pair 50 km deep in Pakistan / Tibet to Laser designate a target ? Or would a hand held designator required ?

What is range? That is more important for designation ops. Will the designator be able to direct a laser guided bomb at a distance of say 10 km?

Or a picture is good enough ?
