Ammo cooling system from General Kinematics/Dynamics? of Israel in Abram which is in Arjun as well :dev2: :diablo:

Nick is that a video camera fixed on the right side of the cockpit? kinda like how shower is fixed..

and as per acig, LCA is getting a new Voice Command Unite for Advanced Cockpit (last pics of the LCA page in acig),, which one will be the display for the voice commands?

Nothing is getting cleared, any idea which datalink it is getting?
by datalink i mean to act as command post as well as to transmit/recieve from awacs/sat/etc etc

This means approx 1000km!!! range. So is easier to be land attack weapon also. Imagine both Tomahawk and Granit as land attack weapons. I believe that Granit would be more destructive weapon than Tomahawk in land attack weapon. Am I right in this??? What is the weight of conversional warhead of both tomahawk and Granit?
So improved Granit will be a Russian “semistrategic” weapon only in Russian Hands NOT for export.
Do you know what exactly will be the new armament of Nakhimov, improved Granit on it?? Furthermore do you know anything about the project 1165 nuclear missile cruiser “Fugas”? It was a “supercruiser” and finally do you have any information about the future Russian DDG does it has any number project “project 2????”. Thanx at all GARRY B your knowledge and information are very valuable.

subsonic missiles ares better for land attack specially under a net centric environment like that of forcenet.

But tomahawk block IV is hell of a land attack weapon with Tercom and “loiterring capability”………………

Subsonic also gives you longer range.

but i dont think you can call it better than tomahawk Block IV,

does it has loiterring caspability which was introduced in 2004?

Also tomahawk is proven, systematically ready missile moreover suits USN doctrine.

IN needs a LRCM as well :dev2: (TRD-50 engines :diablo: )

Well star i said we have dedicated fab lab as well named SCIL and various other pvt companies in diff ways involved.

We dont mass produce Chips for markets which we will start soon (this year new VLSI fab policy will setup), but we do design some worlds best stuffs :diablo: father of p4 and K8 :dev2:

After Vinod Dham its another Indian
Mumbai boy chips in to power Intel.

In the next five to 10 years, when your desktop PC, your laptop or your mobile devices will turn into supercomputing workstations, you will have Mumbai-born tech whiz Nitin Borkar and his Intel teams at Oregon, USA and Bangalore to thank. On Tuesday, Borkar, engineering manager at Intel’s Microprocessor Technology Labs, unveiled the world’s fastest, most energy-efficient microprocessor — an 80-core chip the size of fingernail that can perform trillions of operations per second.

“Our research team has kept Moore’s Law alive,” Borkar said during an exclusive interview with DNA. Moore’s Law, postulated by Intel’s co-founder Gordon Moore,
essentially says that microprocessors will double in capacity and halve in price every 18 months. Ever since the “law” was put forward, technologists across the world have feared one thing: what if the space runs out on a microprocessor? Leaps in computing technology by Intel and rival AMD such as the dual core and quad core processors were considered significant, but neither comes close to the Teraflop Research Processor.

When the project began 18 months ago, Borkar gave his Oregon and the recently-formed Bangalore teams a significant challenge: create the world’s fastest processor using just 100 watts of power. “Well, we did much better than that,” Borkar, a 21-year veteran at Intel, said. “At 62 watts, the processor uses the same amount of power a normal desktop uses.” .

Born and educated in Mumbai, Borkar headed to the US in 1982 after completing his masters in physics. He joined Intel in 1986 after a Masters in electrical engineering at the Louisiana State University. Talking about his experience at Intel he said: “My first and only job and I would never leave it”

Working with a newly-formed Bangalore team was also a breakthrough, Borkar said. “We knew the team was brilliant, and we decided that it had to dive in. We think of it as a long-term investment. The team has shown how Intel can work across continents to create a great product.”

chips are never huge problem for us as far as i know, however a dedicated complex are necessary on much larger level than SCIL which we may see soon and also production lines…

IIT-K grads develop UAVs

AHMEDABAD: Seven students of Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur have developed an innovative multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a low altitude surveillance system (LASS) for reconnaissance and surveillance missions, and medium altitude long endurance (MALE) vehicles for scientific missions, terrain mapping and disaster management.

The USP of their technological innovation is that LASS weighs less than three kgs and can be bungee launched or hand launched with a range upto 50 kms and is difficult to detect by radar. It can operate at night in an altitude of 300ft to 1000 ft. MALE weighs less than 15 kg including a payload of upto 5 kg and it has a range of 2500 km operating at a maximum altitude of 30,000 feet.

The UAV helps in pipeline monitoring for onshore and offshore oil companies, forest management and wild life surveillance environmental research, as also in tsunami like situations.

Raman Puri, Gaurav Gupta, Mohit Mangal, Mohit Mundhra, Shobhit Niranjan, Nimish Sharma and Vineet Singh have set up Aurora integrated systems to pursue their business venture.

Puri, an IIT-K graduate and now an IIM Lucknow student who was here at the IIM-A venture conclave to pitch in for potential investors for their business plans said, “Our innovation can perform a variety of 24-hour tactical surveillance tasks by carrying a lightweight thermal imagery. It can also be used for disaster management in over-the-hill recce missions.”

The device can either captures images and transmit them to the launch station or bring them back physically.

Puri and Sharma were here to present their ideas to VCs to take it up for mass manufacture. Puri said, “UAVs are robust and inexpensive platform to gather wide variety of aerial data for various civil and defence applications. Our experts provide customised solutions taking into account the wide variety of sensor suits and missions for different applications.”

Sharma says, this kind of system would help in saving human lives. Till now aerial surveillance equipment was exported from the US or Israel. He feels this system would have been a great help in situations like tsunami, flood relief operations, landslide rescue missions and plantation assessment for farmers.

Kapil Modi, IIM-A student co-ordinating the venture conclave said, “Venture Capitalists showed keen interest in their project and a feasibility criteria is being worked out by them. Students will be having more sessions with VC to further their talks.

Aurora integrated systems has already received an award IEEE(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc) for the Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society best project award in 2006 for its field programmable gate array (FPGA) control UAV avionics and department of aerospace engineering, IIT-K awarded best B.Tech project award for successful flight demonstration of mini UAV.

AFAIK star49 there is active research in FBO too (Fly by optics) to replace (FBW).

Kindly refer to harry’s article on Tejas about it though at this point it isnt clear if FBO will come in any variant of Tejas (N-LCA?) – maybe.

here is something more clear,

Development of compatible digital fibre optic data bus -A replacement of 1553B bus for aircraft (AEW & LCA). Prof. J P Raina IIT, Madras

so its coming :diablo:

Hey Joey i dont want this to turn into a pissing contest, im not trolling – how can i when i myslf am a British Indian, a well wisher.:)

All i have posted in the last few days in what i have read from various news sources and speculate on them.

Regarding the Arrow-2 news, the Jerusalem post on the 14th February 2007 stated that a high ranking IAI CEO is going to discuss potential exports of such systems this week – confirming that South Korea, India and Turkey had all expressed an interest.

but their are a few things i would like to reply on.

I’m again telling you after using modified Green pine we wont go for Arrow -2 and US isnt really ready to break MCTR because they knows they will be the ones to get hurt.
think logically PLEASE.

If US has so much concern why dont they sells us the IR seeker of Arrow 2 or say the whole kill vehicle for SM3 right it wont! :rolleyes:

issueing few more green cards a few more visas is what they are interested in.

Yes and im happy India has made great strides in key critical defence components, but it hasn’t reached the end product yet has it. Im sure India will field a capable BMD system in the future but as I see it, they should invest in foreign equipment as a stop-measure until its own indigenous systems come online – Personally I think its about getting the right balance, procuring such system that is proven and which isn’t to expensive yet continuing making strides in developing an indigenous system.

……………if India deploys mass BMD it will take atleast 3-4 years , our BMD is to mature by 2012, whats the difference?
you should know by now how indian elsablishment works do you seriously believe babus will put money in indigenous stuffs once the phoren stuff gets in?
dream on………….:rolleyes:

1. Yes American stuff costs a lot because it’s probably the best, lots of time and money being spent on R&D for equipment that can win you wars.
2. Its India’s prerogative, though there are nations like Greece and Spain who use such systems (PAC-3) and they have smaller defence budgets then India.(correct me if im wrong)
3. You nor I know what is and isn’t relevant to India’s operational scenarios, if you did im sure you wouldnt be on this forum talking about it.

[/quote]
I think you should READ MORE first.

1> How many batteries Greece needs and how many India needs?
2> It doesnt takes a rocket scientist to predict the relevance of pac 3 in indian scenario :rolleyes:

F22 Raptor
F35 JSF
EF Typhoon
Su 30MKI
F18 Super Hornet
F15 E
Rafale

See basically you cannot compare things like this depends on situation.
F15E’s radar is AESA while MKI’s not so it gains advantage there but in some other place MKI has advantage.

Then comes to RCS – though rafale’Ef’s RCS is lower than su27/f18/f15 but they are not matured platform – hell not even a AESA as of now.

As per me you simply cannot compare aircrafts like this.

and proven – american stuff always as they are always in war.
