Seriously?lol Debating with someone online is a privelage. No one owes you anything. It is a relationship built on mutual respect. If you are to be disrespectful, then you lose the privilege. Welcome to my ignore list, which is quite small. So you do have the privelage of being in there :)...

What are the challenges to import raw material as a hardware startup?

Unfortunately, ease alone hasn't been a guarantee of existence of systems in Pakistan. A lot of things play a role like commerciable viability of the product, of the company, trust by the military, etc.

Guys it's actually a Pakistani design that the consortium is considering. It is called Vafadar-1. The larger variant is called Vafadar-2:

Couldn't resist

Apples and Orangutans lol.

If you're asking if PAC invests in private ventures then the answer is a big no. Much has been written on this very thread and forum about the need to include private enterprise. Some small positive steps exist but they are very small and insignificant for now. Hoping for positive change in the...

If you really want to do these things you can do them. You could argue that we don't want these things badly enough.

This will become very technical very fast. But you are right that you obviously need to enforce hard real-time. Your algorithms need to be preferably fixed-complexity and designed with digital control in mind (not just continuous-time laws approximately discretized). For most applications you...

Well instrumented wind-tunnels of various sizes and various speeds. A model-building shop that can make models for wind-tunnel testing and scale-flight testing. This place would need 3D printers, and skilled R/C aircraft makers, machinists. Might get a metal sintering 3d printer if I have the...

Don't know. The high speed target drone was using pixhawk (https://pixhawk.org/) last I checked. S2 probably since its SPD.

In one case no. I don't have access to confidential stuff - I am not an insider. I just don't like to put it all on a forum since people take it every other way.

Not a K8, a Mushaak. And I don't know if that was the reason he left or not. Probably many other reasons. The FCS knowledge at AvRID/PAC is extremely limited - you have to keep in mind they are starting from 0 with no help/communication with SPD organizations who do have a lot of experience...

Nope. My flags are accurate.

I see that we are going to will this program into existence. I'm all for it lol.

Agreed 100% with everything that you have said. I wouldn't have dreamed of being where I am either. I had imagined working in NESCOM or something after undergrad. I could've never afforded US education on my own.

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) Whoever let Salman Ali do all of this advertising for POF, kudos to them! Let's hope we see a PAC Salman Ali too :-)

The babus are totally happy if you stay away - they look smarter that way. And they are extremely skilled into making you into one of their own if you stay.

I have quite a horrendous story of my own from my undergrad. A particular course was taught very badly due to health reasons of the professor and the entire class begged me to do something about it since I was sort of the unofficial class representative. When I wrote an application to the VC...
