If you meet any of these guys walking around during any event and ask to photograph their patch, chances are they might just give you the patch. It isn't some super secret item that they guard ferociously.

Govt in advanced talks with industry for setting up international aviation hub in India minister said India should be able to touch 400 million airline passengers in the next eight years, while it was just one airport short of doubling its airport capacity to 148 airports from just 74 in FY13-14. H...

Again. Need to talk to the people involved. ADFCR has been ready for trials for eons. It worked in dev trials. "During the month of February 2020, Phase-I of User Assisted Technical Trials (UATT) i.e. high-altitude low temperature tests were completed. " So where's the "delay"? Q...

Are we aware that there is intense lobbying for the remainder of the flycatcher acquisition. And engineers bemoan the fact that folks from our side took off their uniform and promptly jumped in to lobby for the other side despite the negative import list and radars being something we can make and ha...

The entire gelf doesn't have a nook. These grass-eaters do. It works for everyone that the starving rabid dog guards the treasury and kept in semi-living state by throwing a few scraps now. Just to keep their options open against the shias in the east and as a wink-wink nudge-nudge with the oiros an...

"Urgent/immediate requirement will be filled by immediate imports while DRDO develops indigenous capability".

Prasad

Lol Germany doesn't have serviceable MBTs to send in enough numbers in the first place. They're just as bad as the brits in that department.

Prasad

The TEDBF needs to fly in 3 years. And we don't have FSED funding. But sure everyone on the inside knows best and people can't call them out being civilians. Tell us how the vikramaditya & Mig-29K are doing. The carrier hasn't sailed a couple of days from Goa. Last time the K took the life a you...

Prasad

It is ready for orders. BDL expects orders. Will it be placed? Will it be approved? No idea. Too many cooks.

Prasad

There were no flaws. 6 tests/6 tests passed. 2 other were technically hits. DRDL stands by their missile. I don't have to say anything more about the users. The damn thing is ready for orders.

Prasad

Not to mention the Russians trying to price gouge us already on the extra MKIs we wanted to order. So a new engine will be expensive. We should re-engine the fleet but figure out a cost-effective price.

Prasad

Sidsoma thanks for the critical information on engine power limiting the number of modules. Prasad By thermal management how much heat in KW needs to be dissipated? RR chief can go pound sand. GOI knows what needs to be done. No numbers. TRMM count is determined by both - power available and heat d...

Prasad

Sid Soma do they tell how much power is required for 1800 and 2400 modules? What about geometry? Electrical power available is just one concern. Thermal management is just as important and a similar constraint. Anyway we don't have an engine upgrade planned. Every single fighter has had engine upgr...

Navy wants Predators. Those things cost a 100mn each. Navy's budget is paper thin already.

Prasad

The missile apparently works. Only need the engine to come good now.

Prasad

While commercial compulsions necessitate taking the difficult approach, we also have to appreciate companies like Bellatrix who spent years before coming up with a product. They had TDF funding from drdo and worked silently and today have a range of products. And given that there seems to be extensi...

30s comes from the Spike missile. So naturally IA wants HELINA to have similar time. Nothing wrong in that. Question is - was in the sqr. And can it be brought down without too much effort. And this is for an LOBL launch.

Prasad

The former DRDO chief himself said ATAGS is ready. Certainly don't need anyone else's certificate about its status. So do BF & TATA. That is ALL the folks involved in the program. So let's not beat around the bush shall we? The gun has been ready for 2 years now. And as Karan has been ranting, o...

Prasad

Vinod, Also MOD, and the services need to channel all communications through their spokespersons. This "sources" technique is used to spread FUD by suggesting the false and suppressing the truth. Sadly this works only when all actors are true-faith in the chain. We know that to not be tru...

There is the fact that the China Study Group called the shots right upto unit level on the border with China. So it isn't too far fetched to surmise that what is written above isn't fact.

Which MRFA manufacturer country is going to "GIVE YOU" tech?

Prasad

maitya, GE tested out LPT blades made of CMCs in 2015. It was part of their advent program I believe. What technology will we get transferred? SiC fibres, resins, production tech? We're currently working on making sic/sic shrouds, fibres for bling etc. The LZ/YSZ combination I believe is also being ...

Why is GoI going slow on MRFA? When will LCA Tejas Mark-II be ready for induction?
hat aerospace infrastructure does India still lack today and how does it affect her programs?

Prasad

Prasad

He meant we will be assembling the engine here as discussed with GE earlier. Given we're going to have 3 aircraft using the same engine. It was evident from talking to him but of course people have to write something to sell no. He said 100% manufacturing ToT. Which isn't really anything but assembl...

Prasad

Can we buy Roll Royce? I mean the company with all its IP assets and not just the engine. EJ200 compressor blisks are made by MTU Germany. There are other work-share spread-around headaches like that because of the way the Eurofighter program was setup. So no, better to deal with the french and pay...

Mk2 - Dual Pulse (like MRSAM/NGARM)
Mk3(nomenclature not official yet) - SFDR

Prasad

Datacenters are the next big thing. And we're going to ramp up there in a big way. It needs to have indigenous components software& hardware but we don't have anything in the anvil. Same with phones& backbone for 5g.

Prasad

When was the last time you guys did train travel? There is huge demand for food courts and waiting areas within stations. As well as shops of all kinds. These are major stations where thousands go through every day.

Prasad

Comparing a long-range subsonic turbofan-powered missile to a lower ranged supersonic ramjet-powered missile is a bit too much

Prasad

Exactly why should we give the Germans any business worth billions? This isn't like going to buy corriander leaves in the current global scenario, esp with Europe struggling with high energy prices and consequent hit to their economy and an anti-china push by the US that they have to abide. Might as...

TEDBF/ proposed ORCA with weight savings and fixed wings would still have regular (non-serpentine) air intake ducts. I wonder if Indian Air force would if happy to pick the ORCA as we are proposing here. What makes you think that the TEDBF's ducts are not serpentine ducts? They aren't going to use ...

Prasad

People get carried away with new USAF F-15 orders. A lot of that decision has to do with internal politics rather than hard nosed decision making based on force structure and economics. Be that as it may, IAF will have to contend with PLAAF flankers for a long while and for those a twin engined Rafa...

Anyone know what all those hexagons are?

With regards to the Uttam Aesa on the Su-30MKI, if this program goes through, then Russia will have almost nothing to offer for the upgrade. Program is underway. Only formalisation is yet to be done. And given that it is scaling of an existing radar, it is expected to have no surprises either. Many...

It will be very easily and very very quickly spun that the govt is taxing people for use of their own money on top of whatever tax they are paying as part of a retail transaction.

There are quite a few questions that need to be solved. 1. All straits in the East are watched round the clock via surface, subsurface, airborne and space based assets. Past that it's tougher but not impossible. 2. In a conflict, PLAN assets would already be in the IOR. 3. When targeting is required...
