Concurrent engineering is actually a poison pill if not done under a very strong program management regime. It is not unlike protein shake and workout regime. Actually, Tejas program is an example of its bad side. I think it is in desi habits to keep on tweaking things as they progress. It is good a...

Why Tejas build rate is slow? The single biggest issue is the piecemeal orders. Cut a PO for 300, and you can see them churned out like unniyappams at Sabarimala. It is not just HAL. Remember the poor sub supplier who has exactly the same problem at his scale. It is my understanding that robotics is...

Just like the fact that ADA, ADE and NAL are indispensable for designing the plane, HAL is also indispensable for building the plane. At some point in future VEM / TASL / LnT may reach that level, but not anytime soon.

There is a great example from Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. The state can follow a strict law based regime to bring order. You don't need to go overboard with police action.

Use existing law and rules 'strictly as per the book' relentlessly, and the juggernaut of GOVT will always win.

Nothing finalized yet as I hear. A number of people are vying for the opportunity. Samtel obviously have a leg up in anything to do with LCDs, and HAL would definitely prefer their Samtel JV.

Let me repeat. NRC is a zero sum game if you intend to kick the outsiders out (or to deny any of the fundamental rights such as subject to internment) based on that. So, we must include Everyone. Including the most outlier fringe of the society such as nomads, homeless and even persons who are not o...

Intelligent minds of BRF.. I had been thinking of ways the Govt can bring in NRC without causing some of the basic, but really burning potential issues. Let me list the issues to be avoided. 1. Making people standing in queue 'again'. 2. Making people 'produce proof' that satisfies the 'rigorous gov...

The yindian guvrmand even took out a full-page ad in the DESABHIMANI (rag of the CPI-M) in malloostan.

Let the protest target completely move to NRC, then the govt can take the wind out of the sails instantly by simply declaring "NRC is kept in abeyance due to protest. Will do only with people's confidence onlee".

The current Radar on LCA (the modified 2032) is a kick-ass piece in both modes. But the signal processing is Israeli onlee.

Yes, a lot of stuff is ready for MK1A and also getting back ported to Mk1. But the cockpit avionics of MK1A will 'look' the same, ie three 5X5 MFDs. I also heard that Uttam A2A mode is excellent. But A2G was not so. The 'opinion' of my source is that LRDE used to say "Oh.. we know A2G very well...

I went through the records acceptable for NRC.

We can only 'make it difficult' for illegals to make a living here. A few notions: 1.

This move is good. Some clear decision may come out of it. The decision may be against us devotees, but it is better to have a clear decision than the current uncertainty.

The story is just alarmist. This is a destructive test anyway. The only thing worth noting is that (since the inside is pressurized) the failure was dramatic and it blew a door off. I guess one of the reason is that the body is composite. Metal body might have just kinked and bent.
