ATAGS (TATA version) test fire video

PINAKA 214mm MBRL old rockets (origin range 40 km)

same PINAKA 214mm MBRL new guided rockets tested 1-2 weeks ago (range 65 km)

newer/tweaked guided rockets tested today ( with 25 m accuracy at range of 75 km)

getting within 25m of ur target at ranges of 75 km that too from a multi barrel locket launcher is very good considering that many SSM dont have that accuracy .
it will only get better from now on as test data generated from repeated firings will be used to tweak the algorithms to enable even much higher accuracy

CASSPIR is the mother of all MPVs (the design philosophy) , so how much u try, nobody can shake off that legacy.

LCA (TEJAS) and AEW&C will Fly-Past for first time at RD Parade -2017

The Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas and Airborne Early Warning & Control System (AEW&C) developed by DRDO will fly-past for the first time during the Republic Day Parade 2017. Representing India’s stride in indigenous Defence Technologies, the DRDO contingent this year consists of the 155 mm/52 Calibre Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) and Arudhra- the Medium Power Radar.

Tejas is indigenously developed by Aeronautical Development Agency, an autonomous society of DRDO and produced by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. It is a light-weight and multirole four plus generation tactical fighter aircraft which can carry laser guided bombs and modern missiles to cause extreme damage to the target. Tejas has been inducted into 45th Squadron of Indian Air Force. It is a move towards self-reliance in ‘Air Power’ requirement of the nation. Tejas is the pride of the country and a step towards “Make in India” initiative.

The Airborne Early Warning & Control System (AEW&C) is an ‘Eye in the Sky’. It is a force multiplier, developed by DRDO for IAF with Centre for Air Borne Systems (CABS) as nodal agency. AEW&C system consists of multiple sensors for Surveillance and Signal Intelligence. It helps in Air Defence operations and is capable of communicating using VHF, UHF, C-Band and SATCOM links for Network Centric Operations. Induction of AEW&C into services will make the country self-reliant and position India in top five countries having this capability.

The Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) is an indigenous weapon system developed by DRDO under Prime Minister’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE); a Pune based premiere R& establishment of DRDO is the nodal agency for design and development of ATAGS with industry partners namely Bharat Forge Limited and Tata Power SED. ATAGS has excellent accuracy, consistency, mobility, reliability and automation and is capable of achieving 47 plus km range. The armament system of the ATAGS which comprises 52 calibre Gun Barrel with Breech Mechanism, Muzzle Brake and Recoil System has been designed and developed to fire the 155 mm calibre ammunitions held by Army with enhanced range, accuracy and precision as well as greater fire power. The system is configured with All Electric Drive technology for the first time in the world that will ensure maintenance free and reliable operation over longer periods of time.

Medium Power Radar - Arudhra has been indigenously developed by Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE), Bengaluru, an establishment of DRDO. Arudhra is the first indigenous rotating active phased array multi-function radar with Digital Beam forming technology. The radar covers 360 degree in azimuth and is capable of performing volumetric surveillance to detect and track aerial targets up to 400 km in range and 30 km altitude. This radar can survive intense ECM environment and electromagnetic interference. It is integrated with modern identification of Friend or Foe system to recognize enemy targets and is transportable by road, rail and Air.

DRDO has a mission to empower India with self-reliance in defence technologies. Since its creation in 1958, DRDO’s research, design and development efforts have led to the production of hundreds of products that include state-of-the-art weapons, platforms, equipment and life support systems for the Indian armed forces. Today, the production value of systems (excluding the strategic systems) already inducted or approved for induction, exceeds Rupees Two lakh sixty thousand crores. The strategic systems developed by DRDO have given our country the much needed multi-level strategic deterrence.

Nemesis you have any ideas on the main gun of a the German army Puma IFV?

the guns from rheinmetal, 30mm autocannon the same one which is used in their mantis air defence gun system

IDF TAIWAN

designed in 1990s It has US sub-system on it
without US approval not exportable.

It's a mini F-16
some IDF ex-designer joined South Korea FA/50 desigien team

latest version with upgraded rader and Conformal Fuel Tank

So, I'm sure you've seen it fired, why does it look like it is firing a 40mm grenade instead of a 30mm?

i am unable to understand ur question.

the Indian Navy wants new fighter jets for its aircraft carriers.

today, the navy’s planning wing has published a request for information (RFI ) to support the purchase of 57 new Multi-Role Carrier Borne Fighters (MRCBF) for its aircraft carriers.

It's a 30mm revolver gun.

Used on the Mantis air defence system. It is able to fire programmed ammunition such as the tungsten pellets filled AHEAD ammunition.


One of the most advanced guns mounted on an IFV currently.

Let me do a little digging on the gun myself. It looks so different from the "normal" 30mm.

@henry240

they have installed 2 magnetic coil near the gun muzzle which is linked to the fire control system which again takes feed from the radars / laser range finders .

as a AHEAD round passes the 1st coil and then enters the 2nd coil , the speed ( muzzle velocity ) of the round is calculated and as the distance of the target is available from the radar / laser range finder , so now the time required (time of flight to target) is calculated and programmed magnetically into the now exiting rounds ( ie into the the timer based detonation fuze).

so each round will fly for the programed time and end up (detonate) very near to the target location as was detected by the radar / laser range finder.
the whole process happens very quick , so rounds end up (detonate) very very close to the target , if not detonate right on the target (which is not the aim with AHEAD ammo though , maybe desirable in the land version with proximity/impact fuzes which will deal even greater damage if placed accurately on the target ).


i explained it as simply as possible

Good one, we are getting somewhere.

HAL rolls out the indigenously upgraded hawk : HAWK-I

many of its imported subsystems have been replaced with better indigenous replacements.

these include the better mission computer with dual redundant configuration with additional capabilities like digital map generation (DMG) etc.
embedded virtual training system (EVTS) which provides better training facilities then the imported ones. secure voice communications and data link capabilities and versatile cockpit human machine interface (HMI) for configuring with different aircraft platforms training.

HAL will roll out COMBAT HAWK by march 2017.

BFR-SR/MR (battlefield radar-short range/medium range) mounted on extendable masts fitted to mobile platform, to increase the surveillance range and to avoid terrain obstructions to LOS (also helps to conduct missions/hide behind terrain)

in the pic the system is in stowed/retracted configuration , it can extend upto 4 times its normal/stowed height.

a version with EO systems ie LORROS (long range observation and reconnaissance system ) mounted on telescopic masts fitted to mobile platform also is in service

lastly my favourite pic

gentuulmen plz welcome the ladies

damn thats one angry lady with a sword
