Agni IIP successfully tested http://news.rediff.com/commentary/2010/dec/10/liveupdates.htm India successfully test fires Agni II: Just in: India test-fires modified version of Agni-II nuclear-capable intermediate range ballistic missile from Integrated Test Range off the Orissa coast despite inclem...

Are you referring to CL-20 for miniaturised munition - this was on Shiv Aroor's blog
Is it related to A2P?

Also, does anyone have an idea of the time the test will be conducted?

I think it's better for HAL to gain confidence in their own product. Once IAF approves the product, then HAL can start pitching it to other nations. There is another factor to be kept in mind, which is that whether or not the government will approve (and with how many subsystems) sale to other count...

We can trust that the Chinese can come up with a fifth gen aircraft. Somehow we can't trust our own designers! Is all this talk that LCA being a learning experience to go to the next level just talk? Or is it really a feeling of confidence that WE CAN DO IT! The junta I talk outside looks down upon...

From what I have read in this forum, I think AMCA project looks too ambitious for 2017-18 deadline. The team, it is possible, is riding high on the success of LCA but they must not get into the vicious circle of over-promise and under-delivery. I think there should be some backup plan in place for e...

what could be the reason for delay? everything was going well, Dec 26 (or 27) was deadline for IOC

laugh-ass

they may be deadly, but I find them funny looking - especially the way they're crouching on a Segway.

babbupandey

thanks!

I do have a question, slightly OT, but since we are talking of MARCOS, why don't they show their faces? Why aren't they photographer-friendly?

babbupandey

For the same reason I refrained from posting, it breaks the flow of story.
But, anything for Dileep as long as he is happy!
Good story so far, sir!
I caught a few typos:
referential -> should be reverential
wowed -> should be vowed

Keep up the good work!

babbupandey

Dada, Just because you aren't getting enough posts requesting for more doesn't mean that people don't want to read it. I check for an update every Sunday - sometimes I don't see an update and think that you must be busy. The reason I don't post anything is because I don't want to break the flow of t...

babbupandey

Dileep sir,

A question for you. Do you post as you write each part or have your written down the story well in advance and post one-by-one to build up the excitement.

please use the quote function, it's impossible to understand who is saying what from your post. This, is it really so hard to quote properly? I request you not to make fun of GNair, he has presented his valid points (albeit without proper formatting). RahulM is the moderator - he did his job, that ...

Mods please delete this post if you dont think it is needed, Guys while i understand that everyone has lots of questions for Shri Hari Nair, please dont throw too many questions, let us not overuse this credible source that BRF has seen in recent times I beg to disagree. Mr. Hari Nair must have kno...

babbupandey

Hari ji,

Please describe a typical day for you, that will be enlightening!

Thanks!

babbupandey

Can you please educate us more regarding the contradictory requirements for high and low altitude? My little understanding of this subject is limited only to the following. At high altitude, the air density is much lower which would result in much lower maneuverability and also the engine would hav...

babbupandey

Dear sir (Hari Nair), First of all a very warm welcome. I suggest to forum moderators to elevate your status to BRFite, you certainly are no trainee! Now, I add to the flash flood of questions you have received: 1. Is the LCH equipped for network-warfare roles just like Apache? 2. What do you think ...

babbupandey

OT: No anger at all. Just exasperation. Why is wearing a dhoti to a spic and span facility funny and why would it be funny to listen to any music that they prefer? Vina saar was making fun of exactly the mindset you talked of. :) Goodness! Just for the sake of bringing back the thread to the topic;...

babbupandey

dunno, but even pictures of that would be welcome for starving jingos who never get to see anything, since ISRO won't even put cameras onboard the rockets to give us some eye-candy I agree - but these days they have started live broadcast of launches (courtesy Doordarshan) Having said that, I fully...

More like re-arrangement / re-alignment of the displays and controls etc. He also mentions that the Night fighting ability will improve. How might I ask? Dedicated monitor for FLIR? SAR? Overall Larger display monitors? This is what it is like today: The design looks so old, especially in compariso...

I read the news that IAF or Army is placing orders for Attack Helicopter to Russia and US? Why is that required when LCH looks better than either of them!! Those might be different class of helicopters. Remember, LCH is "Light" Combat Helicopter, whereas the army and IAF also need heavier...

here is one more image of lca AESA, from aero india, in one corner it is clearly written that this is aesa for tejas,,it has about 876 t/r modules check it out... :wink: please someone make this image smaller I think we have already discussed this image earlier, thanks for posting it here though. I...

babbupandey

I think it's high time somebody posted an objective report of how much of AESA will be indigenous and try to give a break up. How of software will be Indian and how much imported, how many components will be imported and what is the complexity of development of that imported hardware.

babbupandey

Processing the signals obtained from the antenna is no easy task. It has to identify the targets amid clutter and present them on the display and identify the most serious threats. It will also have to interact with the weapons suite and send appropriate target locations, and probably guide them to...

babbupandey

I have a question, what will LRDE develop if it is expecting its development partner to do a "detailed design, development and realisation" of: (a) antenna panel constisting of main antenna, guard antenna and sidelobe cancellation antenna, (b) transmit/receive modules/groups, (c) RF distri...

BTW, way back .............. the MCA was associated with the FBL. Do not know if that association still exists. But even for that suggestion I would think that some thought and maturity of technologies must have taken place. (Have come across an article by a sengupta that claims that the IAF has in...

babbupandey

The technology itself seems to be in a nascent phase. Sometime back I heard (in CACM and later on in http://www.betanews.com/article/Intel-Builds-New-Laser-Based-Processor/1158594956 ) that there are photon bases processors. I guess the sixth generation aircrafts will incorporate this design - some...

babbupandey

For such techs to get implemented India needs the R&D base!!!!!!! (Which has been my beef. India seems to be going towards one-and-done without a R&D base.) I couldn't agree more. Such technologies cannot be evolved at DRDO alone (DRDO should, at best, provide funding) - the basic work need...

nukavarapu, yes about FBL(fly-by-light) per what I've been told. it's for AMCA. Thanks Rahul. Just one more question to answer from your knowledge. Though the backbone is optical, the processing power will be electronic. It will still be an obstruction and it will never be completely EMP proof. Doe...

^^ I beg to differ. Cockpit plays a major role in any type of air warfare. If the cockpit display provides needed info with ease without much effort by the pilot while avoiding information oveload, it is a most welcome feature. I agree that the cockpit is important too, but considering the amount o...

babbupandey

You could also call that as being anally-retentive behavior by engineers who have so much more significant things to accomplish. What kind of comment is this, sir? It is through cockpit that pilots interact with aircraft, the usability of aircraft comes down to zero if the cockpit is not friendly e...
