Excalibur to hold the fort now Updated: October 24, 2016 01:33 IST | Dinakar Peri The INSAS rifles used by the Army since the mid-1990s have been causing trouble.—File photo: Akhilesh Kumar | The Hindu Army plans to induct the assault rifle as stopgap till a better model is procured Faced with...

Need for new Rifle for Army INSAS Rifles 1.41 The media has reported that the services are not happy with this weapon and want a better-one to counter threats, therefore, the Committee was desirous to know the problems being faced by the forces in using the INSAS Rifle, what DRDO has done for...

Fair comparison would be with YF 100/YF 115 as ISRO's first cryogenic engine is based on staged combustion cycle which is more difficult to master.

It brings in decent capability and can be configured to fire from any submarine platform IN will operate now or in future irrespective of the origin

What happens to ToT and offset clauses?

Why not a JV with HAL to build Tejas - MK2. Dassault for sure is not going to partner with HAL for Rafale.

Wow! Bhramos is shit coz IN is not capable enough to use it :o:. Even US is modifying SM 6 to use it as a supersonic anti ship missile.

Well now that we have agreed that Bhramos is quite capable. Lets move to your argument that only India relies on speed. Japan is developing xasm-3 missile which is Supersonic ASM

Can anyone update on excalibur/MCIWS procurement ?

What makes you think Bhramos is not a sea skimming missile?

Every platform has its own pros and cons. That is why we are developing subsonic Nirbhay and Hypersonic Bhramos II. Depending on the mission IN might choose which weapon to use.

High speed of Bhramos gives less time for enemy defences to react. Also high KE will make it easy to pierce deeper into well protected hulls and the warhead does the rest. Speed matters !!

And Who exactly has better quality?? Germans, Japanese, Americans, everyone is recalling vehicles for faulty equipment and paying fines for fudging data.

MoD should come up with a roadmap for indeginisation outlining the key technologies and timelines for indeginisation. This would ensure proper funding and accountability by DRDO/DPSUs/pvt firms involved in R&D and production.

Btw what happened to HAL's IMRH? Had the project taken off on time, we would be having a flying prototype by now

Will Navy design its own conventional submarines going forward?

Will GAGAN be modified to use NAVIC in addition to GPS?

Cheaper is the standard word used widely in Industrial Engineering/Macro Economics literature.

Goods produced in China/India are cheaper not because of poor quality but because of cheaper resources (Labour, Land, Power etc).
