Garuthama=Gautham? Because it's written on the glide bomb.

The 2000lb winged Inertia-guided bomb is Garuthmaa known, & the same bomb without wind is labeled as Gautham.

That leave Garuda & Garpurav for the 500kg one, 1st being not winged & latter (probably) winged.

It is easily the finest 155/52 towed gun in existence. It has a modern FCS, electric drive and a 27 litre chamber (almost all others have 25 litre) meaning it has already demonstrated record breaking ranges (45+ Km)

48.5 KM range demonstrated, I believe.

No. It's a rail car with launch related system inside. It's a permanent feature of ITR. A same system is at Wheeler island aka Abul Kalam Island also.

India has finally joined the league of advanced nations with a hypersonic tunnel facility of this scope and scale.

 

[FalconSlayers]

What is CL-20 and how powerful it is?

Any information on the TATA's artillery system?

Boeing was building a Wind tunnel under defence offset clause so is it the same wind tunnel or different one???

Not really, it is the staging shed.

Agni-4 was scheduled to be tested on Dec 18. Any update? Cyclone effects on the east coast has maybe caused a delay?

DRDO IFF System for Soldiers using laser transmitter mounted on gun and laser detectors & UHF transceiver mounted on the helmet. The gun assembly initiates the query towards the potential target soldier using a low divergence laser beam signal. The helmet assembly on the target soldier detects the laser beam, generates and transmits response in UHF band. This response is received and decoded by the helmet assembly of the interrogating soldier and the gunner is informed whether the target is friendly or unknown via audio/LED display.

Notice the brochures at back .
one could see sodium ion, magnesium ion and lithium ion polymer batteries.

Noticed this just now.

There are two SAAW in this picture . One is the vanilla SAAW attached to the pylon adapter.

There is another SAAW just before the Gautam glide bomb. This SAAW has an EO seeker. So DRDO has made substantial progess in integrating an electro optical seeker with the saaw. Sub 4 m CEP.
I will bet that DRDO has already carried out a good number of captive carriage trials with this terminally guided eo saaw though the form factor and dimensions are similar.

All of the missiles and munitions in this pic are either in service or in very advanced stages of development phase.

Gautam and Gaurav are the actual production variants of the Garuda and Garuthma series of glide bombs which were more of tds.

I believe IAF calls the winged variant of Gautam, LRGB .

The demonstration of Tail Boom folding operation was carried out 7 Nov’20 on ALH Mk-III DWDM prototype.

In combination with existing 2 blade folding, the achieved stowage dimension of ALH (13.5 m length, 3.5 m width & 4.1 m height) meets the Navys NUH specification. Qualification/certification of the Tail Boom scheme is expected to be completed by Feb 2021. The concept studies were completed earlier and now the modified components are being realised and integrated onto the platform.

Acche din is finally here.

The Indian Army will conduct high altitude winter trials of Atags in Sikkim in the months of January and Feb followed by mobility trials and summer trials in May June at Mahajan.

When push comes from the very top, the bureacrats can only do so much .
