Any one can list out all the best technology that has gone in AV on the left, and on the right, possible civlian use technology offshoots? System on Chip -> minitiarization of electronics, its impact is very broad Sensor fusion -> any critical multi sensor based system benefits e.g., AF447 crashed ...

what if the directional warhead (if is available on 'ground-attack' Akash) is made to explode right before the outlet of a hardened aircraft pen, don't need to drill through with bunker busting bombs

the pitch up maybe in case of a miss in the tail chase engagement of an inbound else it could crash right into the protected target

link from Hindu, http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3464773.ece there is a mention of pitch up maneuver, does this point to a nuke warhead? anything else wouldn't need such a high altitude explosion for safety reasons are the new tests about adapting to intercept sub or ship launched CMs?

what if a truck lane is built on the golden quadrilateral, with overhead electrification similar to railways? this type of electrification is found in major cities like San francisco where the city buses use pantographs, the diesel electric trucks use this infra while on highways and when off the hi...

On the engine topic, for a scramjet program, laser ignition was tested with success, if used in regular jet/IC engines would it help in better burning of fuel mixture? could be useful in starting up engines soaked in colder climates or relighting engines at higher altitudes

LASTEC and Kaveri?

Nirbhay is supposed to have 24 different warheads, hope there is a cargo version among them which in the place of a 1 ton munition carries a rotary launcher in an internal bay AGMs (Helina) are mounted on this rotary and assuming a loitering capability of 6 hours based on the Harop's specification, ...

if the Army once again does a videshi to protect swadesh even when not necessary, lets revisit the plan to phase out the old T series tanks, and as it was done with trucks recently by gifting them to Afganistan, we could have supplied the Afgan army with these T tanks, instead we should now supply t...

these tunnels being very long would need special exhausts, usually mining tunnels have vertical shafts with a huge exhaust fan at the mouth, this is required for humans (miners) and machines working inside the tunnel to have sufficient fresh oxygen, if this exhaust fan fails, miners are on a clock (...

Sample of a hybrid military truck equivalent to a Tatra, it has a diesel engine driving an 200KW electric generator which then powers electric motors driving the wheels, has 20% fuel savings, optionally, if an energy storage system like batteries is included the fuel savings could be higher so will ...

very vivid description of the unfolding plot Brihaspati Saab, kudos! the Chinese causualties will be hyped up if things pan out according to the above script

Without going into the Pilot's vs. Air India problems, can the IAF use its pilots to sustain the airline's critical operations in the short term? do a significant percent of mil pilots from the cargo stream cross train and are certified with the civilian planes? In the whole episode it seems there i...

@Lalmohan As long as a GSQR can list the green technologies and the fin min approves, all well and good, just that ROI is very high on fuel guzzlers e.g., trucks, if hybrid technologies are proved on off-road mil trucks, the Indian truck's context is addressed fully As far as maturity of technology ...

Turning the T scam into an opportunity? Of the whole issue the damage due to corruption by BEML among others stands out to be, 1) the over priced truck 2) its customization and improvization for Indian conditions or the lack thereof over time The competition from the private sector giant Tata delive...
