Really
ADE was behind the fly by wire controls for Tejas. They did this in less than a decade with peanuts.
Itcm is another success from ADE.
I hope Archer ng would achieve best what a piston powered aircraft could.

CLAW from NAL developed the FCL of the Tejas. ADE developed the DFCC of the Tejas. As far as ITCM goes on paper it's been developed by the ADE . We don't know what's going on behind the scenes. I say this coz on paper ADE is also developing the Ghatak .

However we are also aware that the entire team along with the project was offloaded to the ADE from the ADA by the then DG DRDO & it was specifically done coz the ADE didn't enjoy a good track record in executing successful projects .

Look at the Nirbhay / ITCM project & see how many years have they taken from concept to final certification. Mind you the project is still under testing.

I heavily criticize the IAF, but I strongly doubt that Safran would offer anything beyond directly selling their core. They would siphon off all the money, and we would receive no ToT under any circumstances.

We'd end up back at square one. To make progress with the Kaveri, we need the "Know-Why," not just the "Know-How" of the hot section, which is unlikely to be provided. The fully built hot section would likely come from France, with HAL merely assembling it, similar to the Shakti engines.

Still would have been more reliable than depending on GE completely? Meanwhile we could have tried to fully indigenize Kaveri both hot and cold sections. This IMO could have completely avoided the current deplorable delays in delivery of Mk1A....

I'm very sure IAF having got the taste of the fuel efficiency and reliability of GE were not convinced of GTRE doing the same with Kaveri

The jhumla back then was by decoupling Kaveri from Tejas program we could get it flying and ready faster by depending on the quality, 10 foot, gigachad GE engine.
The GE engine is ofc all of the above but it's vendor nation is a massive two-faced, scheming kike but this factoid never occurred to our esteemed Baboo[n]s who normally are very (((detail oriented)))

At that time that was the only way Parrikar (aum shanti) could shove Tejas down IAF backside. What I am unable to understand is why Kaveri dev didn't proceed in 2 tracks parallelely after the above ? Viz - One track aiming for complete indig. and another track aiming for integration of Snecma hot core (without any ToT) so as to decouple the risk of US sabotage

Indigenous SDR's on naval air assets

Romeos done, Navy to install indigenous software-defined radio in all its aerial assets

SDR, which has been developed by Navy along with BEL, is already fitted in surface ships. Device helps in carrying out signal processing using radio frequency communication systems.

I have a gut feeling that AD-1 and AD-2 won't be going onboard NGD because of their dimensions. Project Kusha will act as Anti ASBM for the Navy.

There can be multiple reasons because of which AD-1/2 might not get into NGD like the problem of Hot-Cold launching or maybe cost...but I'm pretty sure dimension is not one of them.
Assuming the wheel diameter to be 1,400mm (typical for these kinds of trucks) the whole canister comes out to be around 13,000mm

Also based on the wheel and cab arrangement I've this feeling that this launcher is more or less the same standard launcher used on Nirbhay

And Nirbhay is pretty much a sub-BrahMos sized missile

So definitely it'll be bigger but not so much that you can't mount it. Even if there's space problem in the bow then also you can very easily use the mid-ship to mount the VLS.

Or have a raised platform on the bow like they did with P 15A and Bs.
