Defexpo 2014: Land, Naval & Internal Homeland Security Systems Exhibit

[DESERT FIGHTER]

This pic is from expo 2014.

And them upgrading it to 52 caliber isnt new, it was always the intention.

They're offering 155 mm, 52-calibre towed howitzer.

Im talking about the T5.

 

[sancho]

Dude its always the gun not the platform..

Wrong, because if the gun would be on the T5 platform, it would be offered by Denel, like you claimed, but that isn't the case. It is offered by Tata, which uses the gun on their platform with some modifications as part of the JV, just like they are using a Norwegen turret system on their 8x8 IFV as part of the JV.

It certainly will be! What a sight that will be! Certainly going to be an awesome display of power for India.

Even better will be the sight of MKI loaded with 3 x Brahmos M and the biggest effect will have the IN submarine fleet, by using Brahmos M on the Nerpa SSN, Scorpene SSKs, which gives them a whole lot more punch!

Oh bhai... Platform aka a truck isnt a big deal..the "big deal" is the weapon system.....

The pic is 2-3 years old... And these foriegn companies are offering their weapon systems on indian "platforms" ... to enter the indian market...

Actually, you're right. The gun is still being sourced, I thought I've heard it being produced with in India now.

DENEL Land Systems has supplied the monoblock gun barrel fitted with a double-baffle muzzle brake, gun cradle with an integrated buffer system, swing-and-slide breech mechanism, electrically-activated firing mechanism, autoloader/rammer, ballistics charts, muzzle velocity radar, an automatic laying and land navigation system using a RLG-INS, a panoramic optical-mechanical sight mounted directly to the trunnion, incorporating a compensation system for trunnion cant, which forms a backup for indirect fire, and a telescopic sight for direct fire that is mounted to the compensation system. TATA Power SED ,on the other hand,developed the digital ballistics computer, telecommunications system, the hydraulic system that supplies hydraulic power for deployment of the outriggers and the top-carriage hydraulics, all on-board electrical systems, the gun management computer, and the Rajar drive's vision enhancement system. The customized 8 x 8 truck comes from TATA Motors.

INSAS barrel,AK gas tube n parts... fiber stock (didnt knew you manufactured?? or imported grips,stocks)... but a decent looking weapon...

The barrel is interchangeable upto 3 barrels.

35.

I believe it is 38,

GM, Gun carriage factory (GCF), S P Yadav, told the newspaper that the performance of both the prototype guns had been as expected; they had successfully hit targets 38-40 kilometers away.

The trials were witnessed by Lt Gen Anjan Mukherji, DG Artillery as well as experts from DRDO.

The PXE range is equipped for accurate ballistic measurements and DRDO has compiled the data from the trials.

Yadav is confident that the GCF developed Bofors 155 mm/ 45 caliber gun would bag the MOD project worth Rs 6,000 crore for supply of guns to the Indian Army.

GCF carried out initial internal trials of the guns in May in Pokharan, which proved to be satisfactory.

Next the guns were tested at Central Proof Establishment (CPE) at Itarsi on November 30, December 5 and 6.

At CPE, the firing was confined to the arrester butt on zero degree elevation.

At the subsequent field trials at Balasore the gun could go up to the gun's maximum elevation of 70 degrees at every designed angle, Yadav said.


After the CPE firing the guns were subjected to a series of tests to ensure their structural integrity hadn't been compromised. It was determined that all components and assemblies had borne the firing firing stress without any damage.

On their return to GCF from Balasore, the guns would once again be subjected to the tests before being handed over to the Indian Army.

45 cal... Austrian MFL......

Actually the picture shows a 52 cal.

 

[Gessler]

Tata Power SED has teamed up with Denel and is offering a modified T5-52 155mm/52-cal Self-Propelled howitzer

Kalyani Group has bought out all the IPRs and production-engineering data from Austria for the 155mm/45-cal
GHN.45 design, improved many of the subsystems, upgunned it to 155mm/52-cal standard and is offering a
Towed howitzer.

State-owned OFB has used the 155mm/39-cal Bofors FH-77B design data it had, upgunned it to 155m/45-cal and is
offering the Dhanush towed howitzer. This one can offer upto 30-35km range with normal ammo and upto 38-40+km
range with special ammo (full-bore RAP).

RUDRA unmanned ground system at Defexpo 2014



Thursday, February 6, 2014 07:20 PM
RUDRA unmanned ground vehicle with remote weapon station for counter insurgency missions.
The research and development establishment of India has developed the "RUDRA", a new gun mounted remotely operated vehicle. The RUDRA is especially designed for Army and Paramilitary forces to provide an autonomous vehicle to perform counter insurgency operations, hostage situations and hold-ups within buildings reducing risk for the soldiers.

The RUDRA unmanned ground vehicle is armed with a 7.62mm machine gun and one AGS-30 automatic grenade launcher.
The RUDRA is a remotely operated vehicle designed for offensive operations mainly in urban areas for hostage situations and counter insurgency missions. It is equipped with a 7.62mm caliber Light Machine Gun and a AGS-30 Grenade Launcher with belt feed ammunition.

The RUDRA has adequate vision capability to operate both in the day and night conditions. It is controlled through a remote Master Control Station allowing the operator easy use and deploy ability. It is also equipped with an indigenous Pan-o-Vision camera which enables 180 degree view to the operator on real time. This feature allows an all-round view during a critical mission.

The RUDRA can be used with its LOS (Line Of Sight) to a maximum range of 500 m and 200 m in urban area with a maximum endurance of 3 hours.

The RUDRA uses a 6x6 wheeled platform which able the vehicle to be used in all-terrain as well as suitable for urban environment.

If we Vann user something similar for rough terrain, then it can help in CQB right? Fighting militants in jungle.

 

[Agent_47]

For IAC2, but there is already a JV with Babcock from the UK with that carrier in mind.

+ this awesome offer

Platforms like TALON and gladiator is what we need. Versatile systems which can employ small arms that the soldiers themselves use, the ease of operation will be phenomenal.

@bloo ,thanks for sharing.
what is this NLOS-BSM??

 

[Ammyy]

Bhai log

Defexpo se abhi wapas aaya hu..


.... will post all pics soon

@bloo ,thanks for sharing.

what is this NLOS-BSM??

NLOS-BSM is short for non-line-of-sight battlefield support missile, some people may call it a fancy name for surface-to-surface short ranged ballistic missile; the warheads you saw were for Prahaar tactical missile.
