Mk1 getting converted into mk1a.

 

[JBH22]

As a matter of fact, DRDO focuses only on R&D

DRDO should be the primary think tank what tech to develop.
OFB assets to be hived off and corporatised.
Say one OFB factory to focus on arty.
Create a spin off of HaL helicopter division.
We can emulate the Russians did with their MIC.

But then again bastard's in India will shout suit boot ki sarkaar when you go for privatisation.

Mk1 getting converted into mk1a.

Is there a difference b/w rifled bore and smooth bore in terms of penetrations and distance of a projectile

 

[Tuco]

SAAW next evolution should have some capabilities as above.

Seems we are working on maser too.....

What is the difference between maser, HPM and particle beam.

Drones and UGVs being developed by drdo.

Seems like new propellant is also being developed by HEMRL.
Its in drdo road map.

1. ADE scientists are now gearing up for the second test of the Nirbhay variant – the Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile (ITCM).

2. ADE is also poised to hand over the first Full Mission Simulator (FMS) for Light Combat Aircraft Tejas to the Indian Air Force (IAF).

3.Rustom-II has achieved eight-hour flight endurance at 22,000 feet and efforts are now on to take the endurance closer to 24 hours at 30,000 feet, as per the user mandate.

4. A proposal for a high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) UAV is likely to be sent to the government this year, for which the engine will come from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

5. On Abhyas – the High-speed Expendable Aerial Target (HEAT), sources said that the open and closed loop trials have been completed. The Transfer of Technology (ToT) for Abhyas is expected to happen this year.

6. Work on the submarine-launched cruise missile too is in progress, with several systems under production now.

7. The Stealth Wing Flying Testbed (SWiFT) UAV, which is the precursor technology demonstrator project of UCAV, will see some development flights this year.

8. Armed roles for Rustom-I (R-I) too are being looked at currently and the scientists would begin testing of new systems and payloads for the same this year.

9. ADE scientists have already began work on the LRLACM (Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile), which will have a range of over 1,000 km.

ADE steps into new decade with planeloads of critical projects

ADE which celebrated its 62nd Raising Day recently has been given the mandate of developing variants of subsonic missiles and unmanned platforms..Aeronautical Development Establishment. Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile. Nirbhay. Rustom-II. Aeronautical Test Range

Rustom 1 armed with ATGM

On the unmanned front, the scientists are burning the midnight oil to meet the IAF requirements for Rustom-II (Tapas), the medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Rustom-II has achieved eight-hour flight endurance at 22,000 feet and efforts are now on to take the endurance closer to 24 hours at 30,000 feet, as per the user mandate. Last year, Rustom-II had flown in the Satellite Communication (SATCOM) mode for the first time. It had also flown with the long range electro optical payload. Rustom-II has already flown with a 250-km line of sight, sources said.

A proposal for a high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) UAV is likely to be sent to the government this year, for which the engine will come from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Prototyping of HALE started i think .
