Rudram 2 is going nowhere. We need foreign ammunition in good numbers.
This is so frustrating. This is the corruption which Congress should have picked up rather than clinging to Rafale deal.
Dalals have completely taken over mod, kadi ninda turned out to be useless minister inse sirf badi badi baate karwa lo.
Now rudram series won't get orders once screwdrivegiri starts.
Maybe deliver the product then complain?
The frustration should be on why DRDO can't deliver products on time. The project date of conclusion (PoC) was 2020 march and Feb 2022 for R-2 and R-3 respectively.
There is obviously no corruption here. There is significant localization mandated, which we should have done long ago. A much better proposition than before.
Saw a reference in a random doc , but it was nmk ie nag mk2 related, perhaps some lru having common qap
Until RudraM series matures, having limited number of ROCKS/Rampage ain't no bad thing. Don't see any corruption here.
Supersonic Missile-Assisted Release of Torpedo system successfully flight-tested by DRDO off the Odisha coast
Posted On: 01 MAY 2024 12:32PM by PIB Delhi
Supersonic Missile-Assisted Release of Torpedo (SMART) system was successfully flight-tested at around 0830 hrs on May 01, 2024 from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha. SMART is a next-generation missile-based light-weight torpedo delivery system, designed and developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to enhance the anti-submarine warfare capability of the Indian Navy far beyond the conventional range of lightweight torpedo.
This canister-based missile system consists of several advanced sub-systems, namely two-stage solid propulsion system, electromechanical actuator system, precision inertial navigation system etc. The system carries advanced light-weight torpedo as payload along with parachute-based release system.
The missile was launched from the ground mobile launcher. Several state-of-the-art mechanisms such as symmetric separation, ejection and velocity control have been validated in this test.
Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has complimented the DRDO and the industry partners on the successful flight-test of SMART. “The development of the system will further enhance the strength of our Navy,” he said.
Project PWS tender up again. Not sure what kind of weapon system this refers to, maybe TARA/Glide bombs type? Anyway seen similar tender once before. Its subsystems are mentioned below, so any guess ?
Currently it's equipped with TAL right? Once ALWT completes it's trials , then it should most probably replace TAL as the warhead hereSupersonic Missile-Assisted Release of Torpedo system successfully flight-tested by DRDO off the Odisha coast
