DRDO's SSPL has also developed a Blue Laser Diode based submarine communication sys. It uses Blue GaN laser diode directly modulated by pre-leveled 16-QAM(quad) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing data employment to implement its max transmission cap of up to 10 Gbps.

It allows reducing reliance on towed-buoy receivers, to enhance the communications reliability and data throughput to ballistic missile submarines, and to enhance coordination among aircraft and fast attack submarines for ASW.

Nice, but we're eagerly awaiting the commissioning of the PFBR. It has missed its starting dates several times!

The loadout looks quite unbalanced.

Not the final design's.

The loadout looks quite unbalanced.

Lca fbw FCS can handle unbalanced load even now in mk1.

 

[IndianHawk]

Even SANT has been test fired once or twice probably. With 20km range.

Probably Rudram 3 stealth cruise Missile Model.

I highly doubt it.

AFAIK

Rudra M3 is a air launched aeroballistic high supersonic ( possibly hypersonic ) missile weighing 1.6 tons and range of 500+ km

That's definitely not Rudra M-III, coz RM3 is solid-fuelled air launched ballistic missile.

This one is "ITCM". Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile. Powered by Manik Turbofan.

And the newly proposed LR-LACM diameter is 0.67m, same as Brahmos, and can be launched from Brahmos Cannister as well.
