NGARM slide from DRDO.

NGARM aka RudraM1 will indeed have a 200 km range as ANI had reported some days back .

The best thing and unique among all anti radiation missiles except besides the AAGRM is the presence of a mmw seeker head for terminal guidance. Porky kicker had mentioned this years ago.

Coupled with a two way datalink, this missile can be used in a counter AEW&C role . Paki Saab 2000 and ZDK-03 Karakoram eagles are now history .

Hold your horses. Its an AGM not AAM. But its technology could be used in AAM.

Isn't Brahmos aerospace planning to convert Brahmos NG into a Awacs killer?

There is a new AESA based WLR under development , can detect targets with RCS as low as .03 sqm at 80 km .

Info on DRDO 1500-2000 km range ASBM

Saurav Jha: So in that context what are some of the new tactical missile systems being developed under DRDO's recently unveiled 'missile autonomy mission?'

Avinash Chander: Our aim via the 'missile autonomy mission' is to cover a wider space as it were. Let me outline some of the new systems being progressed. A new man portable anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) for which design is over and hardware is getting developed. A Longer ranged SAM with a range of 200-250 km is on the drawing board. A quick reaction SAM which can track on move is well-advanced in the design stage. An anti-radiation missile and a long range anti-ship missile which can prevent aircraft carriers from coming within 1500-2000 km of our shores are also being pursued.


Saurav Jha: What is the status of the anti-radiation missile and the long range anti-ship missile?

Avinash Chander: For the anti-radiation missile design is in progress, in fact hardware is being readied for the first trials. We expect successful trials of this ARM from an aircraft in about the next three years.

The long range anti-ship missile is on the drawing board, and we are confident that in about six years we would be able to get it ready. The long range anti-ship missile is going to be a ballistic missile with a seeker which can hit ships at long range.

Saurav Jha: So this is a rough equivalent of the Chinese DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile? An anti-access/area denial system?

Avinash Chander: Something like that yes. So as you can see almost the entire spectrum of missile capability is being addressed. And addressed to meet state of the art requirements thereby giving full teeth to our armed forces.

Can I get the source for interview please? I got to cite it somewhere.

Welp i guess they want to pitch PMX submachine guns here ? aka this

It was an intended replacement for older Beretta M12 submachine guns in Italian Military but even they didn't show much interest in it,after some trials etc Italian Grendamerie called 'Carabinieri' ordered some 5K units of that around 2018,nothing much since then.

Perhaps they could also offer us ARX-160 here,that we already evaluated as potential replacement of INSAS rifle during ending term of UPA-2 (other competitor was IWI Galil ACE) but post 2014 that competition thing was thrown out due to some reasons and since then lots of ups-downs happened and we ended up adopting AK-203, SIG716i etc while this Carbine deal is yet to be done with.

Beretta ARX-160 A3 12-incher model, current iteration of ARX-160

Wlr--??

It is for detecting shells , rockets , mortars etc

So I classified it as a WLR

Some of the updates .

China is funding development of an airbase near Gwadar port in Balochistan styled as Gwadar International airport for containing Indian Ocean Region (IOR) strategy of India and disrupting the oil supply lines from the Middle East to Indian shores.

The airbase will also help China in keeping an eye on Chabahar port of Iran where India has sanctioned USD 14 million for development of the port, sources tracking the development said.

The construction of the airbase began in January this year and the project is scheduled to be completed by the year end in December, they said.

The Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL) under the aegis of Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) has come out with space food products for the astronauts who will be going on the first ever human space mission, Gaganyaan.

DFRL showcased an array of food products on Friday at the Aero India 2021, some of which are to undergo tests. Dr Rudra Gowda, scientist at the DRDO said that DFRL is a force behind the forces. The DFRL has come out with a milk testing kit meant for detection of adulteration and microbial quality.

Dry Kaveri Derivative Engine will be heading to Russia’s, Gromov Flight Research Institute based in Zhukovsk for further testing on an Il-76LL flying. Kaveri Derivate Engine is a Dry Engine variant based on the K9 Core in development to power India’s first Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV).
