BEL Annual Report

BEL has successfully completed supply of all systems of Akash Missiles to Indian Airforce.
Supply for project L-70 Gun Upgrade program commenced. The activity involves Up-gradation of Gun for improved firing performance in local mode for Air Defense application.

During the year 2015-16, important milestones achieved by R&D engineers in some of the critical R&D projects are;
a) Completion of NC-NC demo of the complex Integrated EW System for Mountainous Terrain.
b) Completion of internal evaluation of Medium Power Radar – Arudra jointly with DRDO and commencement of User trials.
c) Completion of internal evaluation of avionics grade indigenized version of Receiver Front-end Unit resulting in sales.
d) Completion of internal evaluation of indigenous Laser Range Finder for Air Defense application and commencement of integration & testing with AD Fire Control Radar – Atulya.
e) Finalization of System Architecture of Indigenous System-on-Chip (SoC) and progressing design activities.
f) Completion of internal evaluation of Commander TI Sight for T-90 tank and commencement of User Trials.
g) Initiation of design & development of major R&D projects with collaborative partners like 3D Air Surveillance Radar, LTE based e-node B & UE, New Generation Sonars, etc.

Development of New Products
Integrated Sonar Suite for S3/S4 Platform consists of Passive Sonar, Active Sonar, Intercept Sonar, Obstacle Avoidance Sonar, Own noise measurement system and Underwater Communication System. The system is mounted on submarine for underwater surveillance purpose.
Laser Warning System can detect incoming laser threat and calculate angle of arrival to enable the protection counter measure.
• Gunner Sight for T90 is an independent surveillance Sight with Enhanced Range capability to facilitate tank gunner to detect, acquire, and its destruction during day and night.
• Driver Sight for MBT Arjun/Arjun Cataput Driver Sight is a State-of-the-art real time Thermal imaging Camera using uncooled IR detector to give Stereoscopic Vision with depth perception for driver comfort. It provides clear vision and all weather driving capability.

ECIL Annual Report 2015-16

* RF Seeker developed in association with BARC and DRDO successfully completed captive flight trials and going for missile trials.
* MOU with Tetraedr, Belarus for upgrading the command and control system of missile systems procured earlier by defense services
* Indigenous development of Linear variable differential transformers required for Nuclear, Satellites and missile application have enabled import substitution

Future R&D
* Development of Mono-pulse RF seeker for Nirbhay and Akash-2 missile

EM Gun Powered by a Capacitor Bank

This and multi kilowatt fibre laser are most interesting.

Yeah! An EM gun will destroy any chance of so called balance in Indian subcontinent.

but what is "Stealth Wing Flying Testbed (SWiFT)" ? Any idea? @Abingdonboy @XiNiX

Its an prototype of a tailess ucav.

but that is Ghatak.

Could be Ghatak protopye or who knows may be stealth bomber.

May be, but we dont know.

 

[Robinhood Pandey]

but that is Ghatak.

Its a test bed to validate tech to be used in ghatak UCAV . . saw a tweet about DRDO collaborating with IIT for the SWIFT prototype.

This might be true. Its a flying test bed for Ghatak.

1. Unmanned combat ground vehicle.
2. A supersonic missile specifically designed to deliver Torpedo.
3. No idea
4. Sensor suite for AMCA, Ghatak and other aircrafts.
5. Electromagnetic gun, purpose or class ???
6. Related to Humanoid Robot program.
7. Not sure, most likely integrated surveillance system against missiles and aircrafts.

I agree with all except no 1. Its air to surface missile as mentioned in press release.

Could be this....

As far as I know 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. So most likely RUDRA II should be an upgraded system.

No dude. MoD press release cannot make such mistake. Its a new ASM.
