Re: DEFEXPO 2020
That's all the pics I have. Will post the pics of 2nd venue of DEFEXPO if I go to it on Sunday. Thanks everybody.
Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Great set of pictures. We will now soon see them again with an IDRW watermark.
For your next set of images, please watermark them.

Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Wonderful pictures. Great effort.
Would anyone visiting the expo ask a few questions:
1. What is the status of Arjun MK2? Are they redesigning the turret?
2. Are we jumping directly to SFDR, after Astra 1? We don't see any Astra MK2 models anymore.
3. Su30 upgrade radar is shown as AESA. Which AESA? Russian or 2052 or Uttam?
4. Status of 1500hp engine for Arjun.

Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Thanks shobhits. Felt as if I was at defexpo.
Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Thank you for the pics Shobhit.
The following videos shows live demo at DefExpo.
- Highlights:
-Dhruv packs lot of punch. I counted eight personnel come down, + two in cockpit, + two helping with equipment in it - total should be - 12
-45 meter bridge laying equipment shown
-ATAGS made its appearance
-Arjun Mk1 made its appearance.
-K9 Vajra made its appearance.
-Tungushka was doing its work.
-Tejas showed that again that it's an awesome machine.
Interestingly - T90 was showcased as climbing out of ditches, punching through water and what not. Pretty sure Arjun can do all that but of course can't take the 'booby trap' of bridges.

Like another poster said, i almost felt i was actually strolling at the expo. Thank you!
Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Great pics Shobits! Many tx.
Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Shobits thanks for sharing excellent job:
PLEASE watermark the pictures before you post them take your time no rush.

IR, the boarding says that the company name is Manastu Space.
http://www.manastuspace.com/We at Manastu Space, along with IIT Bombay, have replaced old, low performing, carcinogenic and highly toxic hydrazine based propulsion systems with high performance, non carcinogenic, less toxic alternatives. People have lost the lives while handling these propellant.
Green propellant is non carcinogenic and less toxic than the current system. It helps to drastically reduce the cost of operation. Due to high performance, size of satellite also reduces, saving manufacturing as well as launch costs.

Oh! I missed it. Thank you.

IIT Kanpur, in an industry-academic collaboration with VTOL Aviation India Private Ltd, has put up a grand show at this year’s Defence Expo in Lucknow where they showcased different novel aerial systems developed by them.
The “Abhigyaan NX” is a two-seater VTOL capable fixed-wing aircraft for urban aerial mobility, which is also being weaponised and made usable for border patrolling and aerial payload delivery autonomously.
The “AARAV NX UAV” is a small category VTOL capable fixed-wing UAV for aerial surveillance and mapping. This lightweight system can be used for aerial surveillance with the transmission of Full HD (1080p) live video feed over a distance of 15Km with AES encryption.
Still in the development stage, “Akshat NX” is a 75Kg weight class VTOL capable fixed-wing UAV with a payload capacity of 20 kg and an endurance of over 2 hours. This autonomous system will prove useful for cargo transport to high altitude areas.
Besides these other UAVs that have been developed include “Arya NX”, “Aaveg NX”, “Abhay” and “Aarav HL”. These UAVs are available at the UAV laboratory, IIT Kanpur.

>>> Also:
With the intent of promoting ‘Make in India’ Defence technologies, Technopark@iitk in collaboration with IIT Kanpur hosted a Special Interest Group Meet inviting industries and R&D organizations to get a glimpse of
the ongoing cutting-edge research at IITK, interact with faculty experts and exchange views on current & future trends, applications & industry expectations in defence. The participants were also given a tour of the some of the major research facilities at IIT Kanpur such as National Centre for Flexible Electronics, 4i Lab, C3i centre, Flight Lab and Robotics Lab.
The one-day event was graced by many senior professionals from industry and govt. organizations such as Rtd. Air Vice Marshal Pranay Sinha (Advisor BEL) and Manoj Jain (GM, BEL); Prachi Gupta (VP, MKU); Ajay Srivastava (HAL-TAD, Kanpur); Kaushal Jadia (VP and Head of Avionics Global Delivery, Cyient); Prakash Sesha, (Lockheed Martin Fellow); Dr. GG Dutta (Director, JCBCAT).
IIT Kanpur is the knowledge partner in the ambitious Bundelkhand Defence Corridor project.

Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Great Interview with CEO of SSS Defence
https://kaypius.com/2020/02/08/exchangi ... -in-india/
https://kaypius.com/2020/02/08/exchangi ... -in-india/
In a first for a private Indian firm, Bengaluru-headquartered Stumpp Schuele & Somappa Defence (SSS Defence) stormed the indigenous arms and ammunition space with two sniper rifle prototypes: the Viper, chambered for .308/7.62x51mm cartridge, and Saber, chambered for .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge
Kaypius: How did you take the idea from scratch to prototype within such a short time?
VK: We’re all Steve Jobs fans. There’s one statement attributed to him: ” When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even if it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back”. In solving the tech issues that was our approach. Our sniper products have been engineered for military use and we’ve obsessed over little things like anthropometry. Also, by insisting on commonality of platforms as a design ethos, we spent less time on going back to the board later. As an example, for both our sniper weapons, the chassis is almost the same with minor differences. It took longer for us to design and engineer the chassis though but we eliminated re-work in the process. Do note however that we’re not done and dusted with the sniper weapons. So, 2 years is not the end of it. The more we test, the closer we come to optimal. That is still work in progress. We were also assisted by developments in additive manufacturing that helped crash timelines. Our engineering team is nimble to move projects around the table to get a different set of eyes and skills to solve a problem.
Kaypius: Your experience of dealing with foreign partners in the early days of the project?

Re: DEFEXPO 2020
Shobits many thanks for all the effort you’ve put in. But without watermarks, many of your pics will be stolen or reused without any credit. Sites like IDRW for one.
