Indian Scientists Successfully Fire Electromagnetic Railgun (Mach 6) Test Shot

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — Indian defense scientists have successfully developed electromagnetic railguns (EMRG) that can fire projectiles at Mach 6 (six times the speed of sound) or 4,600 miles per hour. Such railguns are touted as one of the future technologies of warfare, as they use kinetic and laser energy instead of controlled explosives for firing missiles.

According to the state-owned Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), a 12 mm square bore EMRG has been successfully tested and they are preparing for the 30 mm variety. The target is to accelerate a one kilogram projectile to a velocity of more than 2,000 m/s with a capacitor bank of 10 megajoules.

"A simple, single pulse driven railgun launcher was developed with a minimum of metal components in proximity to the bore to maximize the inductance of the launcher and to improve the launch efficiency. The launcher has a 12 mm square bore cross-section. The launcher was fabricated with lengths ranging from 1 to 2 meter," a defense scientist involved with the project told Sputnik on condition of anonymity.

"These are the times of early stages of development and more such tests in the future would help India to operationalize this technology, which eventually could demand some changes into the military doctrines," Ajey Lele, a security analyst at IDSA, told Sputnik.

India expects to equip its naval forces with EMRG as the system has the potential to provide responsive, long-range, accurate and high-volume naval surface fire support. Railguns will also eventually be able to engage surface targets in direct-fire mode. Overall, EMRG will offer numerous advantages over conventional naval gunfire systems, as they have extremely long range, speed and accuracy thus nullifying the escape factor of an enemy platform or approaching projectile.

some drdo sights

​NSG K9 (Canine) with Back mounted camera and head mounted Cameras, goggles fitted with cameras and LED lights also procured for its dog squad.


1. Ideal for close support operations these K9 performs reconnaissance for operators from safe distance. Generally used for their ability to detect minute levels of explosives with their sensitive noses, or during search and rescue operations.

2. Mounted directly to the back of a dog, the K-9 Back Mounted Camera system is designed to transmit real-time video back to the handler. An internal DVR records audio and video directly to an SD card for post operation review and archiving.

3. The handler see what the dog sees from a distance and utilize the video for tactical planning.

The head of the Russian Space Policy Institute Ivan Moiseyev announced the beginning of the work of a Russian inspector satellite in near-Earth orbit. The satellite is said to be capable of performing complicated maneuvers to fly by other satellites. The satellite started its mission with inspecting the Cosmos-2519 platform that was launched simultaneously with the satellite on board one and the same cargo spacecraft.

The spacecraft may serve not only as an inspector device - it can also carry out combat missions in the style of Ronald Reagan's defense initiative. Ivan Moiseyev did not deny such an opportunity. He said that the Russian space industry had already developed such a know-how.

In fact, three years ago, experts from several countries expressed their concerns about the appearance of an object in Earth's orbit, which they first qualified as "space garbage." Russia launched three military communication satellites into space on board the Rokot rocket.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) drew attention to the strange behavior of one of the objects which was designated as 2014-28E. The segment separated from a complex construction and started performing dynamic maneuvers, indicating the presence of a strong power unit and sufficient fuel reserve. The object would ascend to an altitude of 1,500 km above the Earth's surface, descend to 925 km, and circle the Breeze-KM block, changing the ascent of its orbit, that is, the orientation relative to our planet.

NORAD concluded that Russia was reviving its Strategic Defense Initiative program. The agency re-qualified the nomenclature of the facility to "useful cargo" and called it a "military satellite-inspector" (under catalog of artificial celestial bodies - Cosmos-2499, as the Rokot rocket officially launched satellites numbered as 2496 , 2497, 2498).

British space technology expert Robert Christie noted that Cosmos-2499 had its predecessors, because on December 23, 2013, Russia also launched three communications satellites. Afterwards, Moscow declared not three, but four space vehicles. The fourth was the "little-known satellite" Cosmos-2491, which appeared in space "out of nowhere."

Similar programs existed in the early 1980s, when it was believed that a killer satellite would deorbit or damage enemy's spacecraft. However, both the USSR and the USA shelved the program in 1984.

It appears now that the two superpowers are revisiting their past developments. The United States has an artificial inspector satellite registered as a cargo spacecraft. Yet, this satellite had spent hundreds of days in Earth's orbit empty, changing its trajectory and approaching a Chinese satellite every once in a while. The satellite known as Boeing's X37B does not belong to NASA - it is affiliated with the Pentagon. In 2006, the USA approved the National Space Policy, which declared "the right to partially extend sovereignty to outer space."

Meanwhile, Russia has been working on a space fighter program. The project is known as MiG-41. At the same time, Russia expands its control in space with the help of interceptor satellites. It appears that we are witnessing another space race between the two superpowers unfolding.

good thing ISRO/DRDO is working towards a project seeking to emulate Boeing's X37B in role and capability, the project is at nascent stages and will take time to fructify.

@ kikuyu1

did not know u owned a tea estate

i for a time grew up near one

on another planet

Not an estate,a small garden, a shamba as we say from the French champs,meaning any farm less than 5 acres. I'm planning for an estate-with luck,give me 3 to 5 years!

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) India deployed the Param Bilim supercomputer in Kazakhstan recently to boost academics and scientific research programmes in that country.

PARAM Supercomputers have been exported to many countries like Russia, Singapore, Germany, Canada, Tanzania, Armenia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Ghana, Myanmar, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam etc

good luck

just for info

in ind.... small/medium tea plantation owners r known to take measures to increase the profitability and cut down costs by

1. avoid using pesticides by planting neem trees along the rows of tee plants , it keeps away insects/diseases plus also provides shade etc

2. plant spices along the tea rows , eg black pepper is a climber and is planted on the trees used to provide shade to the tea plants , these allows to have additional income source along with the tea leaves .

u can google for more info ,
hope u find the info useful

drdo upgraded L70 anti aircraft gun

it totally overhauls the traverse/elevation system

it is now all electric

another pic

rail gun tech was tested by DRDO lab in 1994 itself

this pic is of a 1994 test

drdo PTAE-7 Turbojet engine for drones missiles etc

a private indian company POEIR JETS turbofan engine generating 350kgf thrust might have powered the nirbhay LRCM during the recent test
