DRDO, PSU and Private Defence Sector News

98% was not a fact, 80% isn't either but overwhelming majority is quality...women, sc/st/bc/muslim and what not quotas....even IIT's are not what you may be thinking they are....people are getting in by tutorial based and pattern based hard work. Take one of the MIT undergrad courses in physics or something like calculus or probability online and you will see the way concepts and intuition are explained.

Was talking about the teaching standards, those are still high at IITs.
Acutally took an online postgraduate course on Advanced Mechanics from Michigan University. They tore down all the foundations of what we have ever studied and built from the ground up concepts of Mathematics and Mechanics, etc from a completely fresh perspective (which is essential to study that subject). Explaining manifolds, how force is not physical but a mathematical construct, etc. The course stopped one step short of introducing relativity to a class of Mechanical Engineers. The day I took that course I realized that such level of education is not possible in levels like State or Private universities in India. One IIT professor I knew told me that you should study with aim of appreciating the subject. This requires a genuine interest. Somebody being pushed into Engineering by their parents will never be able to see the beauty of that level of understanding. When you understand things with that level of intricacy, its the best feeling in the world.

Comments wise about IIT, nothing special once you enter....first hand feedback IITK....better than galli colleges but not comparable to some other international ones....the standards actually went down in IIT's over years...motivation is the biggest factor and 2nd independant thinking is frowned up on in Indian society and it is felt in the later years when you look back...atleast for me

What field were you in?

 

[omaebakabaka]

What field were you in?

Chemical

 

[omaebakabaka]

Ha ha, not that fancy....can't disclose sector as its not something I am proud of...close to exiting field and take up farm tech

 

[Okabe Rintarou]

take up farm tech

You should talk to @HariPrasad-1 .

 

[omaebakabaka]

@mods, last few posts can be moved or deleted as this is a very focussed topic w.r.t DRDO...sorry

Didn't pinaka already had 5000/annum production capacity from some private company?

GaN-on-silicon E-HEMT transistors are the choice for maximum performance, efficiency and cost-effective power supplies. Cost-effective driver technology enhances supply performance by simplifying layout, reducing component count, and improving reliability. DRDO developed 30 finger, 3 mm gallium Nitride based HEMT a crucial component for the development of GaN based radar, seekers and communication systems. It’s also very beneficial in space and other civilian application too. Due to its low sensitivity to ionizing radiation it a considered suitable material for solar cell arrays for satellites. Thus India one step closer to incorporating highly advanced GaN AESA radar for AMCA & other aircrafts.

DRDO prototype

The advantages of the HEMT include its high carrier concentration and its higher electron mobility due to reduced ionized impurity scattering. The combination of high carrier concentration and high electron mobility results in a high current density and a low channel resistance, which are especially important for high frequency operation and power switching applications.

Tanks part is interesting.....why not arjun?

Order size ?? Army is still deep in Russian hole , will take time .

Moreover t 90 is a old order

 

[IndianHawk]

T90 probably has more indian components than arjun now. And goal is to have almost 2000 T90 in service.
Seems in that direction.

Arjun is done for untill new fmbt is designed at about 50-55 tons or heavy tanks come back in fashion which isn't happening anytime soon.

 

[omaebakabaka]

Could be gbu type bombs?

The Arjun MK1A is in weight category of M1 Abrams.

 

[IndianHawk]

That pinaka capability is formidable it's what scares the chinkies and porkies most. A cheap long range rocket which we can keep firing at them in thousands.
Lmao

 

[IndianHawk]

This is what I was talking about earlier. We have moved so fast in aesa technologies.

GAN was the tech Sweden was promising us for buying gripen. Now we might see gan based radar in our own MWF in almost the same time period as gripen might get it. Lol.

A 300 mm new design is in deveolpment , so range may be 200 km ,for higher range we have srbm .

Hmm, if lot of components are Indian then can't really explain why we look to import light tanks and take decades on ARjun 2.0....Russian tanks are well balanced and fall under sweet spot for weight compared to german or uk shit
