It will be, as I had mentioned earlier that 4 prototypes each made of HNS have been sent to CVRDE.

There are . Tata trucks unlike tatra trucks are made in india not screwgiri . They are cheaper and most importantly they are not decades old trucks.

Tata Motors to deliver first lot of all terrain defence vehicles by December

According to the link you have provided army has Also ordered Tata trucks as per their requirements , may be Tatra trucks were found to be more suitable for that particular terrain or purpose ?

Hopefully the turret will be something like this , drdo pic previously published. Weight saving will be considerable.

Are all licensing the same gun from OEM. It would be nice to have one gatling gun option to.

Correct. If we compare the Torque of T815 with the same segment of TATA or AL, it is much higher. So in some cases like Pinaka launcher or off road tractor for Howitzer, TATRA would get preference over TATA or AL.

SMERCH MBRL IA.The rockets are recently Upgraded, two upgraded versions are 9.MMF and 9.55K which are tested in 2018, total 5 different versions of rockets .

 

[Karthi]

The angle of elevation of ATAGS is up-to 70 degree . This enables ATAGS to fire shell in highly lofted and steep trajectory , which helps to destroy the target even in the reverse slope of Mountains

Reverse slope defence is a military tactic where a defending force is positioned on the slope of an elevated terrain feature such as a hill, ridge, or mountain, on the side opposite from the attacking force.

The process of aiming an artillery or turret, such as a gun, howitzer, or mortar are called Gun laying .

Looks like an optimal solution.

A truck mounted OFB AK-630 is rumored to have undergone/undergoing trials.
Not sure where things stand. Should be piece of cake for Govt+Private industry to automate and mass produce if forces are willing to try/induct provided it fits their 'doctrine'.

Right i have seen that, even if incoming missile doesn't get intercepted just by looking at it the missile would turn back. Functionally it may be optimal but could have been designed better. I was talking of a system like phalanx which is compact and mobile.

. . Yes, I have seen the pictures of it.
Embarrassing for us. Product aesthetics is certainly one area where our design people need to work hard on.
Our missiles at least look decent be it Agni series, Astra etc. Probably an out of shape missile will not even fly. The MSMC - carbine of DRDO/OFB looks good.
Both performance and looks are important, weightage divided between 75/25.
An ugly looking piece of weapon will also maybe not find export markets.
