Bharat Rakshak

I think , DRDO should try to sell Arjun to other countries, if DRDO succeeds in securing sizable orders, it will be a true eyeopener for IA.

but m not sure if MOD will give its NOD for exports.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnlAJlrMr_Y nice video on Merkava 4 Israeli's gave 1st priority to crew protection, 2nd to Firepower and 3rd to Mobility and mobility doesn't mean speed for them. But it's also clearly mentioned that since this beast weighs 60 + tons, this is not suitable in conditions...

nelson: Going by your logic, human beings should still be driving in horse carriages. After all metalled roads were not needed for horses and hence automobiles are worthless. Trains of course need tracks and hence trains too are worthless. IA should be getting horse chariots, and developing a mahou...

India should have capabilities for Manned Missions, but first work has to be done for making GSLV (mk2 or mk3) reliable like PSLV. There is no point to indulge in space race with any nation. As stated by vision of Dr Vikram Sarabhai, considered the father of Indian Space Programme. “There are some w...

we are getting a opportunity to lunch Mars Mission in November 2013, next will be in 2018. So Mars mission before Manned mission makes sense. regarding a Mars Rover, we are yet to build a rover for moon, that will be launched by GSLV, for launching a rover with PSLV for Mars Mission, need to scale i...

- Transfer of Tech with a licensing fee: DRDO has done this for several smaller scale projects (at item level): NBC items, health items etc.

can it be done for large scale projects like lca production ??

Govt. is already doing this -

Activities like LCA, AMCA development

It will reduce some burden and HAL can better manage product development activities, also this will boost Private sector.

I hope within 15 - 20 years, Private sector will be matured to under take more complex product development projects.

In future(After 5 - 10 years), all license production activities(for e.g. SU 30 MKI license production etc.) should be handled by PVT sector while PSUs should be restricted to product development ( for e.g. lca, amca development).

we already achieved 70 - 80 kn, we can definitely achieve at least 90 - 100 kn. If we will try to achieve this on our own we may take another 3 - 4 years OR we can reduce this time by taking help from snecma/GE/NPO Saturn. Snecma wants a guaranteed purchase of engine before entering into JV, i think...

Indian Navy's future CBG will be having maximum risk from enemy sub's(given that enemy's lacks offensive air capabilities over sea), IN need to have maximum possible range for sonar and weapon system. As Admiral Hiranandani had stated:“The lesson learnt from the loss of the KHUKRI was that longer ra...

There is an indian flavour of linux operating system "Rangoli", our government should promote it in government offices.

PDV was supposed to replace PAD in BMD, but didn't heard about its test, are we going to induct phase 1 without PDV ?

Human life has no cost, its invaluable ...

if we look at this map http://gsuryalss.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/india-china-border.jpg In any ground offensive against India, Xinjiang and Tibet will play crucial role, if we can destabilise these areas, like they did to our naxal affected areas. Their capablities will be diminished drastically....

Shipyards should start following modular approach, projects should be assigned to multiple shipyards. IAC is first of its kind for Indian Shipyard so delays are obvious but still we can cut down the delays by modular approach, in parallel work for IAC 2 should be started asap. read somewhere about M...

AMCA is 10 - 15 years away, LCA is a tested platform, we should enhanced it further till mk3.

exactly my friend's in Defence PSUs are saying the same thing, they are frustrated with politics and redtapism and forced to leave and join PVT sector. I believe, its time to adopt US strategy and start promoting PVT players. Which pvt sector you are talking about? The one which till recently can't...

I guess the Army likes to take the enemy up close

It's a different category, Maitri was supposed to be the Indigenous QRSAM for Army, seems like this project is scrapped.

Maitri was the new avatar of Trishul System.

Sorry, but in this case, there is a problem with the army. The Arjun weighs, looks and feels the way it is because IA GSQR wanted it that way. As for the terrain and weight - well, the ground pressure of Arjun is lesser than T-90. It can go places where even T-90 cannot. BRF has a detailed history ...

I don't understand the problem with Arjun's weight, i work with Israeli fellows who operated Merkava 3 tanks in past, Merkava officially weighs 65 tons but they said that it can be increased to 80 tons with speed of 65 KMPH and they were very successful against t72. whats the problem with Indian Arm...
