ugv for ordinance disposal

On this UGV, I have a guy working with me. His R& is on UGV but the guy is trying to make use of artificial intelligence in the detection of IED.


Here is how it is. He's trying to make the UGV a technological demonstrator in which military vehicles can identify IED before stepping on them.

I dint know much about the research but the little information I have about it is that he's trying to make use of ground penetrating radar systems to filter temperature and ground pattern using artificial intelligence to detect an IED few meters away.

I hear Pakistan has stood up a new JF-17 squadron with Chinese help.


What's your take?

no supprise, as a coutry with limited defence budget they use jf-17 to make up numbers,or replacing F-7s.

lionel4power:
I'll like an honest and unbiased opinion on what's the best fighter jet between the PAC JF-17 Thunder and the Indian LCA in terms of WVR combat.

cc nemesis4u
cc Chinese8107

the result of a WVR combat varies depends on situations,tactics,pilot's skills ects...

hard to say "what's the best fighters".

but the price is 60m more than twice of jf-17,and that's an early version or 2nd hand Su27/30 's price,who is buying tejas except India?

AUSTRO ENGINE AE330 RECEIVES EASA CERTIFICATE FOR 1,800 HOUR TBO

Austro Engine is proud to announce that the 180hp AE330’s TBO (Time between Overhaul) has been increased to 1,800 hours just after two years of its introduction to the market.

Jürgen Heinrich, Managing Director of Austro Engine and Diamond Aircraft Austria: “Austro Engine products have proven their outstanding capabilities in versatile operation profiles all over the globe, generating countless stories of success for our partners. On a retrospective view, we are certainly proud of having set entirely new standards in engine reliability, quality and operational efficiency for our customers, whose appreciated involvement in continuous product and service improvements have been vital and the key to success. Being energized by achievements, we are striving to further enhance operator’s experiences.”

The 180hp jetfuel engine AE330 is based on the successful and reliable 170 PS AE300. It provides more power than the AE300 at the same weight. Great fuel efficiency, reliability and easy operation make the AE330/AE300 the best aviation engines of today and the future.

At equal power the Austro’s jetfuel engines have a 45 % lower fuel burn than conventional piston aircraft engines running on AvGas. They produce significantly less exhaust emissions and are exceptionally silent. Especially flight schools, whose aircraft are operated on an above average level and are often located near resident areas, benefit from these qualities.

Very popular with pilots is the easy engine management by an electronic controlled system (ECU) with integrated single power lever design, as this allows them to focus on the actual flying. Given that the AE300/AE330 are multi-fuel certified, easy worldwide operability is not a problem unlike Avgas engines, because in certain regions of the world Avgas is hard to get and often at multiple the price of jet fuel.

More than 1,500 Austro jetfuel piston engines are in operation worldwide having produced more than one million flight hours.

drdo LRTR radar

It is to my knowledge only photo till date of LRTR.

The older version can spot a 3inch Dia ball at ranges of 600km

The newer version has range of 1500km

It is local version of Israeli green pine radar, it's transfer was stopped by Americans , but later with some Israeli consultancy it was developed locally , it differs from the Israeli system as it employs Ind.an Transmit Receive modules, signal processing, computers and power supplies. It is also more powerful than the base Green Pine system.

The pic below is of older version and it is semi mobile

https://thediplomat.com/2018/03/japans-scraps-domestic-development-of-5th-generation-stealth-fighter-jet/

What the fuucck

F35 killed it just like f16 killed lavi

Even LCA mk2 was in danger from f16 and Gripen untill common sense prevailed and the single engine fighter tender was cancelled recently.

F-35 didn't kill the project,its japan growing commitment to buy more F-35 for its Izumo-class helicopter destroyer.after recently announcing it going to have F-35B on-board its Izumo-class helicopter destroyer

Japan doesn't have that big money India has to develop a highly technological advance fighter and still maintain foreign purchase.

except for china,Russia and US,there is no other country that has being able to develop and field 5th generation stealth fighter jets.even russia is finding it financially difficult to acquired more of its Su-57 stealth fighter jets

India will join the list within the next few years if everything goes as per plans

recently tender for manufacture of the Next Generation Technology Demonstrator (NGTD) was released.
