The AESA based CTSR is configurable ground surveillance and acquisition radar. It can automatically detect and recognize a diversity of moving targets, such as pedestrians, vehicles and tanks, while providing a comprehensive, undistorted picture of the surveillance area. The radar can support artillery by locating shell bursts and providing fire correction data.

You know what? CG should set up a PSU whose only goal is to productionize all these R&D, and reap the profits. Create a new version or PSU or something which exempts it from many of the nonsense plaguing current ones. Something like China's CETC should be the endgoal.

China Electronics Technology Group Corporation - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

These guys make everything from survaillance electronics, radars, x-rays, power electronics etc. All from decades of R&D from their various subsidiaries and linked-universities. There is no reason why something like this can't be replicated by the government, considering these DRDO labs are the only ones doing any real R&D work in this country. Why should they do the hard work and then it away to our rent seeking private sector? If PSUs had the ability to mass manufacture these things, maybe then only would our private dhandos actually bother to do real research

One big issue with what you're suggesting is marketing these products out here. In China all the CCP has to do is issue a circular asking all public & private bodies to include it in their list of choices while issuing a tender & in any case their products will be subsidised to a large extent. That's how these companies build mass & then go international . Now compare that to the system in place here .

Licensing out such prototypes post certification for royalties or one time payment or a synthesis of both is the best way forward. The last thing we need is another dead weight DPSU. Aren't the former OFBs enough ?

In addition, MBC-III ‘Collaborative Drone Based Surveillance Radars' will be launched to develop an unmanned capability similar to an Airborne Warning and Control System.

Hear me on this.



Just mount a Sudarshan CIWS type gun in the middle and voila we have our own Pantsir.

It's Gan aesa . .

It is also having electronic warfare & passive mode operation.

Kusha.

It is having both IIR & RF guidance.

What is the meaning of this 18 sec flight time? this is the first time I am seeing a metric like this for an ATGM.

Warrior.

What is the meaning of this 18 sec flight time? this is the first time I am seeing a metric like this for an ATGM.

Range is subsonic (let's say 250m/s) and time is 18sec; so you can estimate the "straight line" range to be around 0.250x18 = 4.5km.

It's just one way of expressing, especially in case of ATGMs with variable trajectory

One things for sure, our guys are making much better mockups and scale models. I am hoping they will churn out the production versions soon.

This doesn't appear to be on a swash plate unlike the Virupaksha for Su30mki. If so, will the upward angled position of the radar have any coverage issues? Or is the angle immaterial?
