You can see the operator station to the left, a guy is controlling the RCWS from there

is there any RCWS domestic or foreign, where mounted weapon moves independent of optical sensors?

What purpose would that even serve? Optics are used to target, gun is used to fire. They need to be pointing in same direction. If its only for observation purposes, no problem. The gun can swivel along with the optics. Its not like we are firing the thing. I don't see a reason to unnecessarily complicate RCWS design by incorporating two separate rotating joints. Then you will also get the additional problem of calibration.

This canister can lunch astra mk1 only ....

This VLS is being develop for Kamorta class and other ships. VLS will be on space left on either side of exhaust section, at the back.

Hunter Killer in a anti-personnel role.
optical sensor continues to keep an eye on everything, mounted gun moves pointing towards the target identified.

That would be two sensor setup. First one identifies assigns and moves to next, second tracks destroys and wait for the next input.

Better to use a spray of bullets on clumps of personnel targets rather than apply hunter-killer concept of tanks. Otherwise you would need two sets of sensors. But its not a bad idea if the platform has enough power and space for two sets of sensors. It would increase field of view.

Thanks!!! I was worried if you would approve my idea or not.

That would work only for static targets....if the sensors pick a target, feed to the gun and look away to identify new targets, then what is giving feedback to the gun movement......it just keeps on firing in the same direction......so what if the target moves......isn't that logically correct

optical sensors will be fixed, with a wide of range of view. mounted weapon can move independent of optical sensor. system need not be autonomous, target identification can be AI based ,target selection & FCS can be manned.

Operator's situational awareness need not restricted to the direction in which optical sensors are pointed towards.

OFB leaches have surfaced to abuse the army and dislike this interview by Maj. Gaurav Arya (Retd.) regarding the corporatization of OFB.

Looking at their attitude (read the comments) one wonders why this organization should be allowed to continue sucking money from Indian taxpayers, and make products that often kill our own soldiers.

What is "Akash Prime"?
What is "2-vehicle Rohini"? Radar? Are they increasing its range?
Good to hear they are working on IRST. MWF and AMCA will benefit.

Akash Mk1S with active radar seeker
Rohini radar system entirely configured on 2 HMVs only

By active seeker.. Do you mean AESA seeker ? Also the seeker is Indian i guess..

There is no mention of it using a scramjet engine.

Its a waverider ie it rides on the hypersonic shocks created so its not a free falling glider. So 400 secs is hardly surprising. The record for scramjet is held by US at 200 secs.

Indeed, 400 secs for a scramjet engine aircraft was remarkable but not surprise. But if it is a glider as you suggest, with <15 Mach (more like <10 Mach) of initial speed, it is impossible.

Quote
"In the latest tests, the aircraft was able to maintain speeds greater than five-and-a-half times the speed of sound for 400 seconds at an altitude of 30km (19 miles). "

A glider without engine to support a 400 seconds flight with a sustained speed >5.5 mach at 30km altitude? This kind of glider technology doesn't exist on this planet.

Ngarm has a seeker called mmw mk2

Bro only engine details are available there...it you want ,I will post here
