What's that pls elaborate

Very small aperture terminal antenna, used for satellite communication mostly , ig based on the research literature it operates in 3.6-6.5 GHz band width, that's c band

 

[Blademaster]

ok that puts the kibbosh on Navanti’s proposal of S80. Talk about a self inflicted injury.

What is there on the top of it

Looks like foldable antenna with arm. Like Media vans used to have.

Germs-many has done far worse diplomatically and they're still in the submarine race partnering with MDL
The ship in question was under a Danish flag anyway

VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal)VSATs are used by the armed forces in remote mountainous regions and by the navy at sea. In defense, VSATs can help improve response time, ensure network centricity, and bolster the defense forces during critical operations and rescue missions.

I have one question is there any specific vehicular need for VSAT? because buying a fortuner seems like an overkill to me (with VSAT it will probably cost even more)

Ig its the high reliability of Toyota vehicles they seek

Isn’t 50 lakh just for reliability too much? There has to be some specific needs otherwise we have safari,scorpio that army already uses.

A bigger engine, means more power, and Toyota fortuner use same platform as Hilux so that could be a reason, bigger and the new gen Scorpio safari aren't that cheap nowadays

4x4, to be used in rajasthan
Has better reliability,

At this time they only conducted studies and made something quickly to just show at aero India they had nothing concrete so they kept the stats min as they could at this point it wasn't even a project (it still isn't yet)

 

[Corvus Splendens]

This literally the most important news yet this year. Absolutely staggering if this happens. The AMCA is shaping up to be more incredible than I ever imagined. A monumental win for the future of Indian fighter jet programs.

Army compulsorily buys 4x4 vehicles for all operational use. FWD is not acceptable at all. Also, heavy engine is needed for contingency. Fortuner is very reasonably priced for the features

It is above 35000 feet. It may be able to go higher but then it will have a problem doing surveillance due to too much distance

They could've bought the Jimny. It's quite capable and lightweight.

100bhp nope nope high altitude = power drops
jimny is also petrol biggest nope of army
jimny's fuel efficiency and torque is also baddd

Gypsy is ruled out and will be phased out. Jimny is a new version of Gypsy. Army does not want petrol vehicles as they don't give enough power
