Soon there are going to be busy days. 
Agni & Prithvi Ballistic Missiles : News & Discussions
- Thread starter Sathya
- Start date
That is what was known. Previous workscope for mfg also came out in 2022, 2023 September too. The project director is also now the Agni programme director too so you join the dots, with the March 12 , 2024 test.
Yup. This looks like a 2-axis flex nozzle with an un-symmetrical electromechanical actuator with limit switches on both axes.is it kind of flex nozzle ? @Gautam
Assembly jigs. For which missile, I wonder. Looks too small for A5. Maybe Agni prime or maybe K4.
A-Prime.
Design software seen here is Creo Parametric version 7.0 or higher. DRDO's missile design labs have started to move to Creo. CVRDE, ADE, ADA, RD&E etc. are still using either Solidworks & CATIA.
Quite often during the year you can spot large pool of licenses tenders, being bought for inflated pricing as well. All projects sanction money for associated equipment that covers new workstations and software packs. This pic is from the company side though.

CRMC + structural testing , 45-50% weight reduction is possible.

And people still doubt about weight reduction in A-5 MK2 over base A-5
A few years ago, there was a news item that IISc was developing a chromium based heat ablative coating for the nose cone of Agni family weapons. Meant to reduce atmospheric drag as the missile flies to its target.

Combined with composite motors, this tech should give a nice boost to the range of our BMs.

These are research study projects via grants given to the academia. DRDO do not publish full list anymore but we sometimes come across some.
Some old ones are listed
Coating is usually for protecting against heat generated to reduce the thermal load. batch by batch improved versions come through, there is a process to qualify it via RCMA CEMILAC first.

IIRC the coating was meant to be applied to the nosetip and evaporate slowly during re-entry, sort of like an aero spike. Thie resulting chemical reaction would supposedly create an air bubble around the in-flight missile, making it faster and increasing range.

Found the link. It's from 2008.

New tech to boost missile range by 40%
Indian scientists have developed path-breaking technology that has the potential to increase the range of missiles by at least 40 per cent. Indo-US N-Deal: If India tests?
Yes coating and liners are job specific, they develop it as per project requirement. ARCI has already done a lot of work in this field. Check out.Found the link. It's from 2008.

Small but powerful enough , can you guess ?
