NAL developed the entire Tech. TAML got ToT. I don't think TAML has much of intrinsic capability in composite tech. Its not that difficult to teach a bunch of skilled workers to make Composite parts with proper instructions.

QRSAM?
Not QRSAM. It has winglets mounted much closer to the nose.

Modi govt approves new agency to develop space warfare weapon systems

https://www.republicworld.com/india-new ... QgSTtPwgJU


With the aim of enhancing the capabilities of the armed forces to fight wars in space, the government has approved the setting up of a new agency which will develop sophisticated weapon systems and technologies for the purpose
The new agency will be called the Defence Space Research Agency (DSRO)
The agency would be providing the research and development support to the Defence Space Agency (DSA) which comprises members of the three services

With the aim of enhancing the capabilities of the armed forces to fight wars in space, the government has approved the setting up of a new agency which will develop sophisticated weapon systems and technologies for the purpose.

"The Cabinet Committee on Security headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has cleared the setting up of this new agency called the Defence Space Research Agency (DSRO) which has been entrusted with the task of creating space warfare weapon systems and technologies," sources in the Defence Ministry told reporters.

The decision was taken at the topmost level by the government some time ago and the agency has started taking shape under a Joint Secretary-level scientist.

The agency would be provided with a team of scientists which would be working in close coordination with the tri-services integrated defence staff officers.

The agency would be providing the research and development support to the Defence Space Agency (DSA) which comprises members of the three services. The DSA has been created to help the country fight wars in the space.

In March this year, the country had carried out the Anti Satellite Test which demonstrated its capability to shoot down satellites in space.

With this missile test, India joined an elite club of four nations with such capability. The test also helped the country develop deterrence capability against adversaries who may want to attack Indian satellites to cripple systems in time of war.

The Defence Space Agency is being set up in Bengaluru under an Air Vice Marshal-rank officer and will gradually take over the space-related capabilities of the three forces.

The Modi government has created agencies for tackling space and cyber warfare along with a Special Operations Division to tackle the need for special operations required to be carried out both inside and outside the country.

Good move, keeps budgetary allocations out of DRDO/ISRO and prevents diversion OR stress on their projects. Keeps responsibility separate for focus, monitoring, also allows many more projects for space to be out of ambit for traditional DRDO/ISRO projects.

One such agency is also required for AI and Unmanned vehicles asap. Instead of having their own labs and infrastructure, ideally this agency should be modelled on DARPA and the operating doctrine should be identify, mentor and fund promising ideas coming out of Technical institutes, Private companies and even Govt organizations if they meet the parameters.

UAVs are happening under ADE.

AI, Robotics is under CAIR. Agree, more focus is required.

But all is dependent on funding. Am hoping NDA2.0 is more liberal with military, R&D funding vs NDA 1.

Everything depends on the budget allocation. I am firmly of the view that all Defence research, given the strategic nature, should be directly under PMO.

Like ISRO. Every strategic projects be it nukes or SSBN have worked, because they are out of ministry politics and directly controlled by the head of the nation.

You want jet engine, put it under PMO. DRDO should also come under PMO.

Hopefully soon it will be not just offsets but pure hardware (and software) which will bring in the valuable foreing exchange.

India’s defence exports more than double
India’s defence exports have more than doubled to nearly Rs 11,000 crore on the back of recent policy liberalisation and access to the US market, given a large amount of offsets being executed by domestic companies

The increase in defence exports — to Rs 10,745 crore in 2018-19 from Rs 4,682 crore in 2017-18 — is expected to move up exponentially, with the Rajnath Singh-led defence ministry going ahead with a new general export licence plan. It will enable Indian companies to export certain equipment to identified nations.

The biggest contributor to Indian exports has been the US, accounting for nearly Rs 5,000 crore worth of exports followed by old arms partner Israel and the European Union.

I wonder whether these are true exports or merely indian equipment fitted in US kit exported to India and hence round tripped, or offsets. HAL, BEL used to count these offsets as "exports".

Ah, as I thought the article mentions offsets.

1S was predominantly seeker change, so that should be considered done I suppose.
15 - Dornier platform. That is done too.

- marketing/showcasing NAG when it is not yet operational
- REALLY BAD pitching skills of the director (repetitions of same keywords, he needs to sell the products and he is talking about companies)
- the bullets being shown at 1:59
- the horrific model of LCA in the video!!!

Edited extremely silly and offensive comments. Think twice before using BRF as a dumping ground for random rants.

You are making way too many assumptions here. Or that speaking something in a clipped accent with hand waves is the best thing to do? They are doing what they can with what they have.

You should speak some time with Israeli and Russian personnel at their stands sometimes and it will knock some sense into you before you make such offensive comments about baboons and what not.

So what is wrong in marketing Nag? Its cleared developmental trials. Half the stuff we see from other vendors is vaporware. That i-Derby ER shown in many shows will be in production from 2 years from now. *Its not even ready for delivery currently*.

Your comments are beyond the pale. He is referring to companies because the pavilion represents all the companies, he clearly mentions they are there to drive partnerships with Russian firms. You are being given a warning for both your offensive rant and a low quality post.

HAL Joins Hands With Bengaluru Startup To Develop ‘Swarm Drones’ For Surgical Strikes Of The Future
A future Balakot-like surgical strike against terrorist targets may not require the Indian Air Force to deploy its conventional manned assets, as a team which includes members from government-run HAL and a private Bengaluru-based startup NewSpace Research and Technologies, is working to develop the first domestically produced military ‘swarm drones’, reports NDTV.
The engineers working on the drone hope to have the first prototypes ready for testing in two years. Each of these devices will be known as an Air-Launched Flexible Asset (Swarm) or ALFA (S).

- Does Akash-1S also have active seeker or are we looking at active RF seeker on Akash NG?
- Also, if Akahs-1S does have active seeker, does mid-course guidance still happens through Command Guidance mode with missile seeker becoming active in terminal phase.
- Why do we have Command Guidance model in newer versions, whether semi-active or active RF seekers? Why can't it be like regular acquisition radar where radar signals bounce of the a/c and are picked up by semi-active or active seeker on missiles?

Thanks.

Akash 1S has a Ku band active radar seeker developed at RCI. Same as the Astra Mk1 and QRSAM.

Akash 1S uses the same active RF seeker as Astra Mk1. Should be able to be retroactively fitted on Akash Mk1 missiles in service.

A key technology for DRDO to develop is the combined CCD and IIR seeker head in low price.

I think the Dehradun lab is working on that.
