Here is something about the radio procurement issues for the three forces.
If this company is Indian owned and SDR desi designed should not this be looked into as a common source for the all services including maybe CG/BSF/ITBF etc!!!

Any hint of the speed of the BVR AAM?

[Aditya G]

Totally disappointed with not seeing any model for ASW-SWC.

Also hardly anything by Tata. Could anybody get a good look at Tata Merlin?

Sharing some IITK contribution/news items ...
A team led by Profs. Santanu De and Shantanu Bhattacharya, IIT Kanpur has entered into an MoU with TurboTech Precision Engineering Pvt. Ltd., an Aerospace and Defence company, Bangalore during DefenceExpo2020 in Lucknow for the joint development of Micro Gas Turbine (MGT). According to the MoU, IIT Kanpur will be working on designing the various sub-sections of the projects, TurboTech will be responsible for the physical realization of the designs and complete assembly of the envisioned technology.

The development of an upscaled version of the MGT, which is envisaged to fuel the automotive and aerospace sectors in addition to the power generation at IIT Kanpur is supported under the IMPRINT scheme of the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) and the Ministry of Power.

Alpha Design Technologies, now a part of the Adani group, confirms it is the L1 for the Pechora upgrade, indicating they have been awarded the contract or will be. Work has to be completed in 3 years.
The IAF wants to "digitize" its S-125 Pechoras. Basically upgrade all the radars, control cabins with updated electronics and link them to the IACCS.
16 Firing units are planned to be digitized. Around 8 squadrons.

[Karan M]

So far IAF SAM orders:
1. 15 Akash Mk1 squadrons
2. 9 MRSAM squadrons
3. 3 SpyDer squadrons
4. 5 S-400 squadrons
5. Once awarded, 8 SA-3 upgrades

There is still substantial room for the QRSAM or a SRSAM program to replace the OSA-AK in IAF service, which is likely the plan.
IAF also has a RFI out for 61 flights/batteries of CIWS
XRSAM will be required to back up the S-400 as the numbers aren't enough.

They make composite aerospace components, the aircraft I'm guess is just for "representational" purposes

Did anyone cover naval related material at all?
