‘Make in India’ initiative in defence sector is implemented through various policy initiatives which promotes indigenous design, development and manufacture of defence items. These initiatives, inter-alia, include priority to procurement of capital items from domestic sources under Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020; notification of ‘Negative list’ of 101 items for which there would be an embargo on the import beyond the timeline indicated against them; simplification of Industrial licensing process; liberalization of FDI policy; simplification of Make Procedure; launch of Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) scheme; and implementation of “Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India), Order 2017.

During the last two financial years i.e. from 2018-19 to 2019-2020 and the current financial year 2020-21( till December 2020), the Government has accorded Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) to 112 Defence proposals, worth Rs. 1,99,860 Crore approximately, under the various categories of Capital Acquisition, which promotes domestic manufacturing as per the Defence Acquisition/Procurement Procedure.

Look at the wall in the background, doesn't look boeing to me
Also note the placement of the landing gears below the wings, the boeing one has the landing gears attached directly to the main fuselage

Boeing wingman rear landing gears are not present on wings.
Also, Indranil Roy had tweeted about a prototype drone with turbojet engine on which ADE is working.

Also, Indranil Roy had tweeted about a prototype drone with turbofan engine on which NAL is working.

OK yeah, sorry dint paid proper attention to the landing gears on the wings. But that gives me another question. Why are they placing the landing gears on the wings? Where will it fold into? Into wings??

Don't now.

 

[gutenmorgen]

Don't now.

That could be really interesting. From one point of view, its extremely weird and maybe place additional burden on the wings. From another, it could help save a lot of space in the fuselage.

HVT mentioned that HAL was making a 0.5 CATS WARRIOR already that would fly this year, could he that?

If the posted pic is indeed from India then it most certainly is the one he was talking about.

Endurance ~ 32 hrs

Range with satcom greater than 5000 km

Ceiling ~ 33,000 ft

Max payload ~ 1,000 kg

Could these two be the same?

 

[gutenmorgen]

Could these two be the same?

Most probably, since HVT said that they have been working on it for quite some time now.

Which private company nigga.

 

[gutenmorgen]

For now, it looks like Newspace is working with both HAL and DRDO(various labs) on separate projects. If I remember correctly they are involved with HAL for Alfa-s and other drones(probably warrior as well) and with DRDO for MALE UAV as posted before. They are possibly providing drone swarming and other software support for the UAVs. So most probably they can all work together as a system.
