rear side of 1000 lb bomb
These conical shaped items made from 1.6mm steel sheet , assembled at the rear side of 1000 lb BOMB / BOMB 250kg and BOMB 450Kg respectively. These Tail Units function as stabilizing/balancing unit of the BOMBs while dropping from Air Force Craft.
The profile and inner contours of the sheet is cut from CNC operated Laser Beam Machining Machine . This Laser Machining Machine possessed by OFDC can be classified as a rare type machine in Ordnance Organisation. The speciality of this machine is that it can cut outer/inner profile of a sheet upto 7mm thick (max) with zero tolerance dimension and bright finish.
1000 lb BOMB HE can be dropped from heights as high as 15000 metres. It penetrates deep into subsoil and detonates giving earthquake effect. Against concrete runways , it penetrates deep and detonates leaving a crater of approx 6m x 3m deep thus putting them out of commission.
Maybe nitrogen coolant bottle for the seeker or some kind of PAGS. I am guessing based on lau 127.

C-Band Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar (DWR)
The C-band polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar is a state-of-the-art indigenous Radar. The Radar development is an initiative by ISRO as a national effort to design and develop indigenous Weather Radars to meet the country’s weather forecast requirements. The vision is to establish a network of Weather Radars to seamlessly cover the entire country and thereby ensure effective detection of severe weather conditions, cyclone warning and appropriate weather forecasts. Dual polarimetry is implemented for effective rain estimation and hydrometeor classification.
This radar provides long range weather surveillance up to 500 kms. It operates in S-band and is capable of detecting and estimating the parameters of cyclone and other severe weather conditions. This Radar can forecast severe weather conditions so that necessary preventive steps could be taken to alleviate the impact of such natural disasters in terms of loss of life and property.
FEATURES.
Dual polarimetric capability- simultaneous transmission and reception.
Solid state Modular based Transmitter using high power klystron.
High gain Antenna.
Elevation over azimuth Servo system.

Cross posting from wuhan thread,
A Mobile Virology Research & Diagnostics Laboratory developed by DRDO in association with ESIC was unveiled today. MVRDL is a 'combination' BSL-3/BSL-2 lab that can process up to 2000 samples a day.iCOMM gave the containers, iClean aided design & Hi Tech Hydraulics made the base.

From what I remember, DGCA doesn't allow aircraft like CMN-5 to fly in India since it is single engined and has 5 seats. I believe that is the major reason why this aircraft hasn't seen any customers.

BTW KSSL's Bharat Forge is currently in a process to supply its Armour Troop Carrier (ATC) to the UN peacekeepers and Sri Lanka.
The vehicle is Uniquely designed and built to provide logistic movements of troops in peacekeeping missions and forward areas

India's own hellfire missile is coming: Dhruvastra is going to be our own hellfire missile.helina,sant and dhruvastra all three are same missile with different seeker.helina use iir,sant use mmw and dhruvastra will use semi active laser seeker,just like hellfire.despite having same propulsion system sant and dhruvastra will have longer range than helina because helina can't use fullest potential of it's propulsion system due to limitation of iir seeker activation range.sant and dhruvastra will not have that problem.Being sals guided dhruvastra will have advantege over other two varient on versatility of both lunching platform and target as the target don't needed temp. difference or structural vareity for radar mapping for being targeted.It can be used against all types of target
Is this deployed or in testing phase?

Inducted
I have some confirmed news about drdo missiles devolopment:-. 1)rudram2 has a range upto 330 km. 2)rudram3 has a range upto 550 km. 3)govt. Sanctioned vshorad(manpad) r&d project by drdo.so igla-s contract not going to be signed. 4)beside nasm-sr there is another missile nasm-mr...... All these information i am telling from a document.it confirmed

DRDO lab DEBEL is offering Medical Oxygen Plant #MOP, an offshoot tech from Onboard Oxygen #OBOX gen system for Tejas.
MOP utilizes pressure swing adsorption technique & molecular sieve tech to generate oxygen directly from atmospheric air.
READ: https://bit.ly/3bG7UZe
The OBOX technology for Tejas being developed by DEBEL has been approved by the Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC), an agency mandated to certify the products.
Sources in DRDO confirm to Onmanorama that the oxygen generator components have been developed by DEBEL and the technology has been transferred to a Coimbatore-based firm.
“This plant will be useful to provide oxygen supply during corona pandemic in hospitals in urban and rural areas. The installation of MOP helps in avoiding hospital’s dependency of scarce oxygen cylinders,” says a DRDO official monitoring the work.
Ever since the coronavirus outbreak, the scientists at DEBEL have been working developing various products for the healthcare sector.
Masks and sanitizers developed by the lab have already been distributed in bulk, while work on affordable ventilators has reached advanced stages of completion.
Several Benefits
Scientists say that the MOP can be used extensively at hospitals situated at high altitude and inaccessible remote areas.
“There are several benefits including reduced logistics of transporting cylinders to these areas, low cost, continuous and reliable oxygen supply available round the clock. The facility can also be used for filling the cylinders in addition to direct installations at the hospitals,” says a scientist.
DRDO has already used this technology to install oxygen plants at some of the military hospitals and establishments in North-East and Leh-Ladakh regions.
The first such plant set up in Tawang is operational since 2017 and it complies with international standards like ISO 1008, European, US and Indian pharmacopoeia.
Unique Features
The MOP has high reliability, full independency with automation and reduces logistics. This safe technology needs only minimum maintenance and can be operated at low cost. It is free of oil and produces oxygen instantaneously from ambient air and works round-the-clock.
The electric oxygen compressor can charge the cylinders up to 200 bar. It has stored oxygen supply for transient power failures and boasts of low energy consumption. It can also be operated via remote control.
The MOP contains an air compressor, air dryer, oxygen generator and a compressor. Each plant can fill up to 47 Litres (water capacity) cylinders at a rate of 60 per day and operate round-the-clock.
“The oxygen capacity depends on the pressure of filling, which is about 150-200 bar. The industry holding the transfer of technology can ramp up its production and can install up to 20 plants in five weeks,” says a scientist.
The system can cater to 60 patients at a flow rate of 5 LPM (litres per minute) and can charge up to 60 cylinders per day. The capacity can be varied as per the hospital requirement. The plant is designed for a capacity of 18 NM3 per hour. (NM3 or normal meter cubed per hour is the unit to measure the gas flow rate.)
The oxygen capacity depends on the pressure of filling, which is about 150-200 bar.
The scientists at DEBEL also designed three types of aluminium cylinders which can be used for oxygen filling. The oxygen-carrying capacity of these cylinders varies and is designed to operate under different pressure parameters.
For the Tejas OBOX, the scientists have used a zeolite-based technology and the system will undergo trials soon.
“We have completed all ground-based trials of OBOX on the test rigs and the pilots are satisfied with the results. It will now be integrated on one of the test variants of Tejas for flight trials. It has been already cleared by the Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness,” says an official.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation and Indian Railways are among the several prospective users who have shown interest in DEBEL’s MOP.
