On-site hospitality, HAL-style!
Shown above are the AAM sub-systems that the IAF has been hawking since 2017 for indigenisation. No industrial takers of such offers as yet.
The above (generating 46kN thrust) is presently undergoing high-altitude tests at Zhukovsky in Russia. If a suitable afterburner can be developed, then this turbofan can become a likely candidate for powering the HLFT-42 LIFT.
The SAFRAN Aneto-1K turboshaft engine that has been selected for powering the IMRH. That was the reason why this engine was exhibited at the SAFRAN booth.
Below are the new HAL-developed products.
Shown below are some BEL-built products.
Shown below is the PG-HSLD precision-guided munition.
Bharat Dynamics Ltd stupidly labelled the anti-helicopter laser-guided CLGM as an ATGM.
Cooling system for the twin wingtip-mounted HBJ pods of the Su-30MKI.
The above missile is not a BVRAAM, but is a surface-launched supersonic aerial target.
Notice the changed configuration of the rocket nozzle? Even the twin lateral thrusters of HELINA removed to save the launch-helicopter airframe from damage.
However, the booth of Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) continued to pass off the NAG as HELINA (see above) to all visitors, including official foreign delegations and senior Indian military officials! Perhaps, this was because the CMD of BDL is a former naval Commodore and hence is unable to distinguish between the NAG and HELINA!!!
Nose-mounted S-band AESA antenna is a new feature for the AEW & CS Mk.2 platform.
Above are the PGMs being produced by Adani Defence & Aerospace.
Adani-produced artillery ammunition rounds (above).
ELBIT Systems-developed SDR Manpacks built by Alpha Technologies/Adani Defence & Aerospace for the Indian Army.
HAL-built ALH Mk.3 of ICGS with nose-mounted ELTA-supplied EL/M-2022H search radar.
Helicopter-mounted low-recoil machine gun.
HAL is re-designing and upgrading the PTAE-7 turbojet to boost its fuel capacity for the CATS WARRIOR loyal wingman.
QR-SAM exhibits shown at the booth of Bharat Dynamics Ltd.
Guidance kits for artillery munitions shown at the IDEX pavilion.
Astra-1 BVRAAM and DARE-developed HBJ pod mounted on Tejas Mk.1 L-MRCA.
Tejas AF Mk.2 MWF
The ADA-designed TEDBF was shown as an insignificant exhibit.
DRDO-developed family of weapons ejector racks for a wide variety of MRCAs.
NUKON Aerospace-built quad-launcher (above) for the SAAW PGM. Shown below are the exhibits of the DRDO/Centre for Airborne Systems.
Pralay SS-BSM Poster.
DRDO-developed AESA RF seeker (left) and electro-mechanical RF seeker for BVRAAMs, QR-SAM, VL-SR-SAM and Akash-NG.
Below are posters of indigenous RF seekers. Presently, the solid-stated TWTs are being imported from JSC Agat of Russia. Indigenously developed solid-state TWTs are presently undergoing advanced flight-tests.
Shown below are posters of the Akash-NG E-SHORADS meant for the Indian Air Force. The RF seeker originally developed for the Astra-1 BVRAAM also serves as the baseline design for RF seekers developed for the Akash-NG E-SHORADS, QR-SAM and VL-SR-SAM.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 209 of 2091) Sir please more info about akashteer?
2) Why did NGMV settle for 4 missiles when Pakistani missile boats carry 8?
3) And did we not order Two Brahmos coastal batteries in 2019? Or was it just AON back then with order coming today?
4) How any MPR in latest order for IAF?
5) are there any estimate to what desi/Israeli fire control radars for L70 ciws roughly cost?
Hi Prasun
w.r.t. recent contracts signed by MoD in last one week
1. How are Lynx U2 FCS & BEL-Thales Pharos different? What happened to latter?
2. What would NGMVs and NOPVs look like - dimension, displacement, propulsion, Sensors, E-suite, crew complement, shipborne aviation?
3. Next Generation Maritime Mobile Coastal Batteries (NGMMCB) - no. of batteries, range, deployment footprint, C2, etc.?
4. Akash Weapon System (AWS) - is it Akash-NG or Akash-1S?
5. What is Sarang ESM under Samudrika - intended platform, features?
Thanks & Regards
In case of Arjun we :
1. Developed 1500 hp engine .
2. A decent hull to carry 65+ tons
3. A gun with missile shooting ability.
4. Lot of electronics
5. Good armour technology
Now why does Army want only foreign OEMs to respond to FMBT RFI ?
With LM showing off Abrams X , do not all existing MBT look sub par ?
Why should all above developed tech be thrown out , just because someone fancies Armata or whatever ?
Regards

To SIDHARTH: LoLz! All such rumours hve been, are being & will be spread by internet fnboys like this one:

To NIKHIL: Not at all. It is all emanating from the disillusioned Sikh citizens of the UK, Canada & US who have totally lost their cultural roots & are consequently drifting aimlessly.
To SATYAKI: Yes, why not?
To KANE 1966: The data that you seek is in the bottommost slide that I have uploaded.
To RAD: Data on Amogha-3 is available in the DEFEXPO-2020 thread.
To JUST_CURIOUS: 1) 6 per final-assembly line. Total of 18 per year. 2) CSIR/NAL is a laboratory. Nowhere else in the world has any laboratory ever designed & developed any type of aircraft. 3) Because they are available from China much cheaper & without any strings attached. 6) Russia has already refused to supply Pakistan with any commodities. 7) M88 turbofans cannot be replaced as the entire Rafale airframe has been built around such turbofans. 7) Such missiles are Gen-3 weapons, while the rest of the world has moved on to Gen-5 missile systems. 8) Yes.
To AMIT BISWAS: 2K12E Kub/KVADRAT’s 3M9M1 SAM. The IA had procured 180 TELs for launching the 3M9M1 throughout the 1980s.
To VSJ: 1) Akashteer: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x4UtmXgzD0U/VMKGCE6HkOI/AAAAAAAAI6o/ZfUSIRwMS4M/s1600/BEL-Built%2BADC%2B%26%2BRS%2Bfor%2BIndian%2BArmy's%2BCorps%2Bof%2BAir%2BDefence%2BArtillery.jpg
2) No official illustration of the NGMV has been released as yet. 3) No. Orders have only now been placed. 4) Refer to my reply on March 24, 2023 at 4:14 AM.
To SOUMYA RAY: LYNX-U2 is a fire-control system, not exactly a multifunction radar.

2) No definitive data or design or illustration has been released to date. 3) Only 2 Batteries have been ordered. Total reqmt is for 15. This is how it will be used:

4) It is the Akash-1S variant. 5) Sarang is the name for the radar warning receiver suite that comprises 6 RWR units per platform.
hi PRASUN
I dont understand the tactical value of light tanks in the chinese border or where ever given the plethora of various anti tank weapons that tanks have great difficulty to counter.
moreover these light tanks( zarover) have no where near the level of protection needed to take on anti tank missiles unless active protection system is there
we have seen that in ukraine war and every where tanks are very vulnerable.
so whats the big deal in having light tanks up there.
Hi Prasun
can u confirm if the last agni 5 test was a hypersonic glide vehicle test as it has been captures on mobile cameras in the night. was the bright trail a rocket exhaust or plasma trail due to atmospheric friction?
You had posted a note on "China's Perception of Friction Points In Eastern Ladakh" last September. It was to be concluded later, which probably hasn't been yet.

Will you be doing something about it? Thanks!!
