So SWIFT will soon have its first flight

 

[patriots]

Ok arde is developing a mini drone which can be lunched from ubgl tube of rifle
It will weight 250 gram in excess....can be carried by an infantry soilder
It has a flight time 40 min
More details to follow.....

Already said swift is going to fly atleast in last quarter of this year ....it will have weapon bay.....and it's the test bed for aura(Ghatak) ucav
Rustom2 is flying regularly from and to ... Chitradurga and chitor( two drdo facilities)
Fabrication for the second cruise missile based on nirbhay is going on.....
Tejas is going to fire astra after aero india ... before that gun trial will be done
A hale drone is being developed.....as said earlier....

Astra UT Trial will be done.... along with astra mk2
Details unknown about astra UT....BUT it's not the same astra mk1..... might be astra mk1 with infrared seeker....or astra ejector lunched....

Ok take care

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

Yes, a rather significant one at that.

Helina is going to be fired from a helicopter in a month or two....and you will get a nice video of it
Drdo exoskeleton program is very much active....first prototype is in making...

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

The Abhyas HEAT drone should be converted into a kamikaze drone, would work as a cheaper alternative to those Harop/Harpy drones and can be stocked up in the thousands.

Handing Over of Products Developed by CVRDE to Users

The handing over ceremony of Retractable Landing Gear Systems for Tapas and SWiFTUAVs and 18 types of filters for P-75 Submarine took place on 10th January 2021 at DRDOlaboratory, Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE), Chennai, inthe presence of Hon’ble Member of Parliament Dr. Kalanidhi Veeraswamy, ParliamentaryStanding Committee Member for Defence, Dr G Satheesh Reddy, Secretary, DDR&D andChairman DRDO and Shri PK Mehta, DG (ACE).

CVRDE has indigenously designed and developed Three Ton Retractable Landing Gear (RLG)Systems for Tapas UAV. The design, development and testing of this gear system is carried outin co-ordination with CEMILAC and DGAQA for certification. The tricycle nose wheel typemultidisciplinary, hydro-electro-mechanical system is now being manufactured by an Industryat Coimbatore. First set of Retractable Landing Gear system developed by industry was handed over by Director CVRDE, Chennai to the Director, ADE Bengaluru.

CVRDE has also designed and developed One Ton Retractable Landing Gear System for adifferent class of UAV known as SWiFT. This system is designed and developed foraccommodating the Landing Gears within the constrained bay volume. It is manufactured withthe help of Indian industry with due inspection and certification of CEMILAC and DGAQA.

This system was also handed over to ADE, Bengaluru.Eighteen types of indigenously developed hydraulic, lubrication, seawater and fuel filters for P￾75 Submarine were designed and developed by CVRDE. These filters are now beingmanufactured with the help of Indian Industries based at Hyderabad and Chennai.

Thisindigenization project was funded by DRDO and Navy jointly and the technology issuccessfully transferred to the industry. Two sets of these filters, duly qualified by DQA (N),were handed over to Indian Navy.
Secretary DDR&D highlighted the importance of indigenous design efforts and complimentedthe industries who have established the manufacturing facilities for making these criticalcomponents.

Guys, the drone Indranil Roy is talking about and the specifications he mentioned doesn't fit for HALE category drones. 4m length and 5m wingspan.

India Developing Capabilities For Undertaking Deep Ocean Missions
The government was in the process of developing a capability in which scientists can go deep into the ocean beyond three kilometres for taking up ocean exploration, Union Science and Technology Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan said on Saturday.
Participating in a function in Chennai, he said India was ranked at the top in weather forecasting and had never issued a false warning whenever cyclones were formed.
“Normally it is about six hours of going down (in the ocean) doing some research activities and coming back. “We are developing the capability in which scientists can go deep in the ocean beyond three kilometers and they can be there for almost 16 hours (for research purposes),” he said after dedicating coastal research vessel ‘Sagar Avneshika’ at Chennai Port Trust in Chennai.
On weather forecast, he said the natural calamity, the country remembers – was the Tsunami of 2004 which caused a ‘tragedy of a huge magnitude’.
“When we look back on how our scientists have developed (since Tsunami hit in 2004), we can proudly say that we are the best nation in the world in predicting early warnings of tsunami. We have never issued false warnings. My scientists tell me that Japan has issued false warnings on tsunamis,” he said.
The Minister said because of early warning facilities, states and administration were able to take up precautionary measures in protecting the people.
“Some cyclones could have caused huge damage.But they were very well predicted sometimes 10 days or two weeks earlier so that the government and respective States got ample time and opportunity to take care of all the precautions so that lives of people and sources of livelihood could be protected,” he pointed out.
“The country’s most ambitious mission was to launch a deep ocean mission which would look at all the aspects of the ocean as a source of minerals, a source of water and strengthen the scientific community,” he said.
“We are already in the process and then we will take the help of big organisations in a collaborative way like DRDO, ISRO, people in IITs,” he said.
Dr. Vardhan said ‘Sagar Avneshika’ launched today can accommodate about 15-20 scientists for research purposes and has laboratories similar to research vessel ‘Sagar Thara’ for taking up scientific explorations.
“The state-of-the-art vessel will transform our ocean research activities and boost our blue economy,” he said.
The vessel is equipped with advanced navigation systems as well as research and exploration apparatus.”It would boost multi-disciplinary research on oceanography along the Indian coast and will deepen understanding of the ocean and help harness its enormous potential,” he added.

Iran is mass producing UAVs and here we are celebrating for Landing Gears..Wah..

Iran reversed engineered US drone which they downed
We are developing technologies from scratch and that's how it should be,developing from scratch is always better for long run than reverse engineering though it takes time
