DRDO and PSU's



ideally, such an incident should be viewed as an opportunity.
is anyone within defence SM commentary community, viewing this as an opportunity or rr is the prevalent theme?

there is an ongoing quad initiative about resilient and trusted supply chain, for now it mostly about telecom infra , semi conductors type big items . since it is a U.S company it is a good thing, it gives an opportunity to use existing mechanisms to drone sub-components as well, to ,and make sure supply chain is protected.

Are you saying somebody from twitter should be looking to manufacture hi density li polymer battery pack???

I mean you are entrepreneur yourself and many in DFI. How many of you can think of doing that?

Those who have wherewithal to step fwd are not in DFI or twitter and infact shall not be aware of this need.
How difficult would be for lime of Exide Amaron to start production line fir this when battery pack is for niche item which itself are in handful number with Army, negating any proclivity to sink money in establishing prod line.

i am saying, the discourse should go beyond the theme of "who to put blame on?". every event/incident that happens, first instinct is to find a fall guy, this instinct needs to be curbed.

the business part of it is a separate case, it will go as per the flow.
 
Nirbhay's last two test were successful, one more in a row and missile will get the tag of successful developed by drdo, looking at past schedules third test will take place around march-april next year.
Previous tests were conducted around the same time in 2023 and 2024.

let me add some background of what's on my mind on this...

nirbhay has 200-300 kg warhead, in past decade in the cruise missile salvos that got fired are in the range of 60-80 per airfield in west asia conflicts(accounting for loss in flight within the fired salvo). i am making the assumption nibhay inventory should be a 1000 missile with say 50% mounted and rest in stock.

let's say production rate is 100 per annum, and if we do a backwards calculation.

- to fulfill the entire order, 10 years.
- with a year or two give out sub-component orders and received by OEM, so 12 years.
- two years minimum for paperwork in MoD and IA for contract to be signed, so 14 years.
- three years atleast for hot and cold user trails, so 17 years.

so it's 17 years for entire cycle, after development agency declares the system ready for user trials.

in the mean time, one also has to factor in that, once the system is ready for production, folks like shudi ranjan sen of bloomberg will release a rumour quoting sources that U.S is ready to sell tomahawks. his friends in print, India today, dhindu etc will amplify those rumours. defence fanboys will immediately start rr and gaali on gormint of the day and the forces.

ofcourse it is complex tech, but there are other process cycles that are dependant on development phase being completed.
