Honeywell adds precision to Indian-made Weapons

Are you talking about control surfaces on the arty shell?

The warhead/projectile is application and configuration dependent...

Is it just me or any body else also think that its just the assembly contract of the ktting items despatched from the plant from US.......

I don't belive US is actually providing this hitech tech. to us.

Its a kit type configuration of course. Any high tech export to non NATO country is viewed with magnifying glass and the decision comes after the sea-saw exercise in the state department and Pentagon.

Yep, thanks!

In fact I was talking about Indian Artillery shells. Imay be wrong but till date I did not see one with control surfaces to control/ change trajectory/ path.

Interesting. A Ring Laser Gyro fitted on Pinaka. It will certainly make it more lethal. I am sure it will go on Nirbhay, Brahmos and Prahar too.

Nirbhay, Brahmos and Prahar have their own systems which do not need this. This will get used in Pinaka and the new Arty Gun Systems that are under the new development program.

We already manufacture our own laser gyro. This tech is company to company transfer, US and agreed not to raise objection and grant license. Or so it seems.

I guess not, but you never know.

Trust me, I know........

 

[SanjeevaniButi]

Trust me, I know........

I see, which of those missiles did you design ?

B@lls, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.....
I just told you what you ain't seen or known yet.
Wait; you'll get to hear of it in a news report............. after some time.

@SanjeevaniButi tactical and strategic weapons have certain degree of differences based on the autonomy you want to achieve.

There is a reason why captain said it won't be used in nirbhay and brahmos. You need to know the dynamics of it.

I know, that is why I said it can happen since Brahmos and Prahar are both Tactical missiles. Not strategic.

Even Nirbhay is not, but that can be disputed due to its range.

They are not. You need to understand they don't operate on the whims and fancies of marching army. There is a silver lining. Even though they work on theater operations but they work on strategic assets. That makes them theater centric strategic missiles. Both nirbhay and brahmos are more important than our nukes. You need to think again why they won't have a foreign guidance system. Read on harpoon and yakohant.

Are you aware the earlier versions of Brahmos use to rely on GPS ?

Today Brahmos used the G3OM which uses signals from GPS, GLONASS & GAGAN and is still susceptible to foreign control.

It would be more sensible to also put a laser gyro chip that gives them accuracy of 1 meter and I am pretty sure that is what the future holds. Let us see how much of the manufacturing is done by Tata. That would give greater clarity to the whole idea.

excellent stuff.

Good then, we will wait and as someone said some news will come.

Buttttt, having said that, G3OM is a mere substitute. And not a solution. There must have been a reason for that. Its silly to assume that if GLONASS is GPS substitute and GAGAN is the ultimate cure. Hope this helps.

Thank you for a good discussion
