The screens on the right show what looks like the GNURadio toolkit, but the OS is Win 10 so that can't be :lol: Maybe they're using LabView or something More like 'Digital Signal Processor'. I see what appears to be an Ettus USRP SDR on the top shelf. Most likely a quickly set up show for the...

Agreed. And these smart whiz kids need to sit away from all the noise, unencumbered by any organizational biases, etc. In short, an independent analysis of our national capabilities. Call it a 'National Commission for the Analysis of Technical Capabilities' (a very Soviet sounding name) - a...

If I manage to cut through the sentimental/nationalistic/cheerleading parts of the discussion here, it is still very clear: Azm does not have a high probability of success. And success would not be to have an NGFA flying in PAF colors - far from it. Success would mean the development of the...

Sadly, I agree. The projects these docs mentioned were good - given that they were properly managed and audited, adequately funded and provided useful deliverables. Obviously, that doesn't usually happen. Whatever projects saw the the light of day probably sit on some computer or filing cabinet...

The stupid compartmentalization essentially kills several initiatives right at the grassroot levels. I have seen SUPARCO handing out research projects for Bachelors & Masters students which involved simulations related to satellite fairing loading during ascent and separation, orbital...

The probability of finding Pakistan-based PhDs who are upto the task is very low. If the PAF chooses to look for Pakistani PhDs and researchers abroad, they will not be able to provide them the operation/decision-making autonomy, job security, monetary benefits, etc to incentivize them to come...

Fully agreed. If you ask me, I honestly feel that Azm is winding down to some extent. The energy and momentum which characterized the early days during Sohail Aman's tenure is not visible now, specially with the current chief. Now, obviously, I have no insider knowledge or any concrete evidence...

Wow wow wow. I'm saving this answer, as a future reference. Thank you very much for taking the time to geek out :) The best approach to learn something new is to keep at it until it all clicks into place. Needless to say, you've given me something to spent dozens of hours on. Thank you...

The geek in me is loving these. Could you please give me a 'teacher's explanation' of the simulation? I've been looking for books to help me get started on the flight dynamics of guided rockets/missiles, but i haven't found anything, courtesy of ITAR probably. An overview of the governing...

Regardless of who is responsible, this reeks of incompetence. The FBR and PRAL need a major overhaul, not just the cosmetic changes. The govt's digitization push must be backed by efficient, diligent and highly qualified and competent staff at all levels, effective cybersecurity precautions and...

If going by Admiral (R) Abbasi's speech, there is no ambiguity. He clearly mentioned the 1x Jinnah-class frigate which will be a followup to the MILGEM class (i.e. Babur-class): "4 Turkish MILGEM-class ships will be inducted between 2023 and 2025. Under the MILGEM project, complete design...

Lets also not forget the 'larger' variants of the Damen OPVs (Yarmook-class) that the ex-CNS Abbasi mentioned in his farewell address, 6 vessels were under negotiations. That would give us: - 4 Zulfiqar-class (F-22P), 4 Babur-class (MILGEM), 4 Type 054A/P AND - 2 Yarmook-class (Damen 1900 OPV)...

I wonder if Moeed Yusuf, for all his brilliance, has realized this. Gen Tariq is a giant of a man and this non-nonsense and fresh perspective on the issue must be drilled into the ears of the policymakers at the highest levels.

These problems were real during the 1990s. But today, with the human resource at NRDI, although still very basic, a lot of these in-house redesign and modernization efforts can be undertaken. NRDI's benefit has been to provide a single-point, dedicated technical support resource to the entire...

Wrong. It IS an electronic device, otherwise how could you possibly hope to accomplish voter verification, machine locking and unlocking, post-poll counting, printing, status display, etc etc. When the intent is there, anything can be done. However, it would be multiple orders of magnitude...

The one observation that can be made is that most of these documents are routine correspondence and do not necessarily threaten national security. These are the kind of documents which are usually found on individual computers connected to the Internet, hence the ease with which they have been...

Just this single twitter account has documents from GHQ, NHQ, AHQ, MoFA, NSD. Not to mention, an overflight clearance request form bearing the complete travel itinerary, pilot and crew details, aircraft details and route of the COAS's flight to Turkey. This is serious. Our jokers in the...

Good job by the FIA. The FIA needs expanded powers, identical to the US FBI. Search and seizure, separate police stations and the expanded powers to arrest, detain and charge individuals who pose a risk to national security in light of violation of the Official Secrets Act. Legal changes are...

Reminds me of the Japanese perception of the Western world (specially the US) prior to WW2. And look how that turned out for Japan.

You have to be here on ground to see it. The born and bred Karachiite Urdu-speakers, those whose grandparents and parents migrated from India in 1947 are fast moving abroad. Entire neighborhoods - and I'm talking about middle class neighborhoods or educated intelligentsia - are empty now. These...
