Any videos.. of them flying ?UAV?
Probably it's a single vehicle system..for only test launch such a complex luncher design not feasible..Also the Akash-NG launcher is kind of different . One aspect of it doesn't make sense unless it is just for the test fire.
DAC approval has been given for 6 such ex Air India Airbus A319/A321 to be converted into Netra AEW&C for $1.4 billion.what was the timeline for this project?
Hope plan materialize soon.View attachment 75931
In a first, Tata to build military aircraft in India as it acquires IP rights
This would be the first time that an Indian private entity is looking at making a full military-grade aircraft, which until now has been the domain of the state-owned HAL.
In a first for the industry, the Tata Group will develop and manufacture a military aircraft in India, having acquired intellectual property rights for a German-origin platform. The plan, ET has reliably learnt, is to integrate indigenous sensors and payloads to convert it into an intelligence gathering asset.
The high-altitude, twin-engine aircraft, capable of playing multiple roles from signal intelligence to cross-border surveillance, is currently in the final stages of testing in Germany. It is likely to arrive in India in the next three months for further Integration
This would be the first time that an Indian private entity is looking at making a full military-grade aircraft, which until now has been the domain of the state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL).
Tata Advanced Systems (TASL) will showcase the capabilities of the aircraft at the AeroIndia in Bengaluru next week. Though the company has not shared details of the design, the aircraft is likely to be based on the Grob G 180 SPn – a German-made jet that never reached serial production due to financial strains.
TASL is yet to get any firm orders for the aircraft in India, but top executives say the investment has been done keeping in mind future requirements of the armed forces. A manufacturing plant will be set up for serial production in the future, they added.
The company sources said the aircraft it is developing is designed for flying at 41,000 feet altitude with a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet and can be used for intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) purposes. It is designed to land on grass and gravel. The low-wing, twin-engine composite aircraft is expected to have a range of 1800 nautical miles and 6-7 hours endurance with a payload capacity in excess of 1,000 kg.
“We are now focusing on modifying the aircraft to fit special payloads so that it can undertake a demonstration of surveillance capabilities. For a country like India, with multiple mountain ranges spread across the country, including on international borders, this capacity is extremely vital. India has been dependent on foreign suppliers to meet this need,” said Sukaran Singh, MD of TASL.
He added that acquiring such technology will enable India to modify and fit any payloads it wants within the country, reducing dependence on foreign suppliers. “With TASL bringing this aircraft technology to the table, India will have a cutting edge air-borne surveillance platform, with control over the software, customisation as well as maintenance, based within the country,” he said.
The need for effective border surveillance has been a focus after recent tensions with China in Ladakh.
Hope plan materialize soon.
This will add indigenous capability to our aviation industry.
Well anyone know about the embraer deal ?
We have this dead capability since some time with the Spice 2000 and LRGB series . Gautam and Gaurav.The NGARM along with SAAW will enable Indian fighter jets successfully cutting down not only the air defense capability of the enemies but also obliterate their air operation options as well from a stand off distance. SAAW will be used to destroy bunkers as well.View attachment 75934
And here Economy of Scale Matter not just Cabilitie's.We have this dead capability since some time with the Spice 2000 and LRGB series . Gautam and Gaurav.
Besides we also have the 110 km Kh-31P and the 245 km newer Kh-31PD to take out enemy iads elements .
Saaw and Ngarm will increase our abilities manifold and allow us to prosecute enemy targets at a lower cost .
