Is Saaw under production?

 

[Karthi]

It is not a weapon configuration

Kali series cannot be used in a weapon configuration . Reasons are many , I posted them already. It is used for civilian purposes and for defence inorder to test EMP/EMI hardening and susceptibility.

Its technology can be used later on to make a multi shot, weapon adaptable system. But that's a long way off.

It's Weapon configuration for Sure , may be a concept based on KALI

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

KALI series can only be weaponized if we have a big airborne platform like IL-76.

I Highly doubt it , HPM is a generic nomenclature , means high power microwave . It doesn't automatically insinuate a weapon.

Kali is a single shot system , after which it needs more than 24 hr to recharge to fire the next shot . Kali 5000 weights more than 10 tons and additionally its support systems like cooling system , capacitor banks has similar weights .

Kali technology can be used to design a purpose built DEW weapon system but it is decades away due to miniaturisation constraints and power supply constraints , so kali series accelerator cannot be used as a weapon.

It's a myth being spread around.

Why do you thing DRDO is developing a s band milo HPM system with a range of 10km or so first .

But I leave it to you to believe or not

Under testing , possibly with pre production examples

drdo chief at the start of the year interview said that saaw will complete it's final trial this year..so,maybe large scale production not started yet but preparation for that started and the real production may start by the end of this year..

How many SAAW will buy airforce buy?

 

[Bajirao]

How many SAAW will buy airforce buy?

Don't know but it should be in thousands..saaw has no value in hundreds..iaf have to regularly damage enemy runways using hundreds of saaw per airfield

 

[fire starter]

it's good private sector should collaborate with DRDO to develop indegeneous MANPADS.
Private sector willing to work on Indigenous short-range air defense missiles.

Some of the Private sector companies in India have approached the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and have requested to give them funding to built Man-portable short-range air defense missiles in a deal worth $ 1.4 billion which Russia has won for its IGLA-S system for Indian forces’ immediate requirement of 800 launchers and more than 5,000 missiles under the VSHORADS (Very Short-Range Air Defence System) program. Under the VSHORADS program all three services, beginning with the Army demanded man-portable and shoulder-fired short-range air defense missiles against low-flying threats from the air with a range of 6-8 km up to a height of 3 km.

The combined tri-service requirement will be close to 15000 missiles in a deal worth close to $ 4 billion. VSHORADS program has been in several controversies over the years and the Indian Army has been accused of favoring the Russian system even though it failed to clear all technical trials. idrw.org has been informed that some of the leading Private sector companies are willing to develop a similar product in less than two years and enter testing and technical trials by the third year and enter production their after. With Make in India 2.0 thrust by the Government and MOD in the defense sector, Private sector companies who have approached MOD are hopeful that they will be allowed to present their concept and project details before actual work on the missile system is sanctioned

No LSP for SAAW has been ordered as of now. IAF is looking forward for around 200 such ammo for various role.

BTW could you post screenshot of the tweet?

Misleading. It has not yet been ordered.

Well that tweet was endorsed by Vayumag and looks like he works with them, hence I thought the info is credible.

 

[fire starter]

ALH simulator.

 

[IndianHawk]

Misleading. It has not yet been ordered.

When order is almost guaranteed production starts beforehand.
For example lch hanger to build 30 lch per year is already build. Even when orders are not here more than fifty.
