What is project STAR?====================

Insight of Project STAR

It's a two-stage SAM with a diameter of 335mm. Very ambitious project. I guess that's enough for now.

Kalyani ALSV prototype trials

Why do I have this feeling that this bug is gonna topple over at some high speed maneuvering!!
Why..whyyyy..whyyyyy!!
Why cant we make it a beast with some nice looks!!

Yes... A completely new missile.

By quoting A5 I meant just a missile of its caliber in range and payload.

There is no need for India to have a 5000km SLBM. A land base BM is enough to provide nuclear deterrence against Pakistan & China. Chinese won't be able to have an airforce powerful enough to hunt India Agni-5 deep in India within 30 years. On the other hand, if India wants to create effective deterrence against US, it will need 11k-13k km missiles. That is something far beyond India's current tech. We won't see it within 10 years, if not 20 years.

Land based or Air launched nukes are nowhere a credible deterrence for India. SLBM is the most credible deterrence which provide a second strike capability to India against China or Pakistan.
Moreover a SLBM gives the perfect excuse to build a longer range missile.

Info on DRDO stratospheric airship program.

First info confirming the existence of such a program for near persistent stratospheric surveillance system based on airships.

Info on status of DRDO HPM DEW program

Completed

Follow-on to the completed studies program.

Follow-on program ongoing and will lead to a operational HPM system

Pilot-in-Loop Testing of On-Board Oxygen Generating System centric Integrated Life Support System

Defence Bio-Engineering and Electro Medical Laboratory (DEBEL), Bengaluru has developed On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) centric
Integrated Life Support System to provide enhanced physiology protection to aircrew of fighter aircraft flying at high altitude. OBOGS replaces liquid oxygen system by utilizing bleed air from the aircraft engine and separating its components using molecular sieve (Zeolite) Pressure Swing adsorption (PSA) technology. The system consists of two molecular sieve beds with oxygen plenum to continuously provide breathing gas to aircrew. Use of OBOGS technology eliminates the logistic tail associated with liquid oxygen system, improves safety, reduces aircraft turnaround time, extends mission duration and significantly lowers operational cost.

DEBEL carried out the Pilotin-Loop testing of ILSS in High Altitude Decompression Chamber under simulated altitudes with test pilot of Tejas as the subject from 15 August 2019 to 6 September 2019. Performance of the system has been found at par with conventional oxygen system in use. The Pilot-in-Loop test has been demonstrated to Programme Director (CA) & Director, ADA in the presence of CE (A), CEMILAC, and representatives of RCMA(A/C), ARDCHAL, DGAQA and ADA. The flight trials of the system will be carried out on Tejas PV-3 aircraft by the middle of next year.

Payload of the Stratospheric surveillance platform under test.

No, this one is not the payload for the stratospheric surveillance airship .

The one you posted is a very old system which completed tests in 2010.

The payload was developed for Akashdeep airship and was displayed for the first time in Aero India 2011.

The payload for Akashdeep aerostat which you posted carries an gyro stabilized electro-optical day/night (thermal) payload together with a communication and intelligence (Comint) payload.

The drdo stratospheric airship and it's payloads being developed are completely new systems.

Primary objective for the drdo stratospheric airship is to act as a platform for a Psuedolite based High Integrity Precision Navigation System.

Secondary roles are for surveillance and EW.

Possibly they will employ the stratospheric airships in different roles with different payloads.

The drdo stratospheric airships is being designed to operate at altitudes between 20 km and 22 km in the stratosphere, where the atmospheric disturbances are known to be the least. ( Akashdeep airship whose picture you posted does not operate at such high altitudes )

It will have solar panel covered body for power generation.

This is one of the initial lab models which was being used for study as a stratospheric airship.

Note that the design configuration of DRDO stratospheric airship is different from Akashdeep or any other known DRDO airships.

Nothing more respectful and supportive can be for HAL they should understand the things which they do is part of national pride and security they should kick aside all this commie politics and focus productivity . If they build something good they will get all the love from the same people which hate them. It's time for them to be serious and motivated like isro.

My question to HAL and to all air defence production companies in india.

Possibly it is fitted for but not installed to lower the operational costs , that's a SOP to cut down costs. Since deployment reduces missile life and increases maintenance costs and missiles are not cheap and foreign ones are limited in stocks.

Just my 2 cents
