The RPSA project is apparently more than 12 months away from being sent application to the CCS for approval with the report. CCS clearance comes even after that , how many time I don't know. They will start work from June-July to prepare the full technical report to be sent to CCS. So its probably quite far away. Hopefully HAL CATS project is ahead of it.

Aha noob-jee registered here I see. Welcome. Despite visiting the other forum and BRF daily for years I am yet to sign up elsewhere.

Anyway, the reason of the above is, very recently 2-3 days ago ADE had some job work ad , it mentioned about this RPSA related work for some senior retired stuff appointment. There was also timeline given. It seems obvious large amount of work to be done even before submitting application to CCS. CATS warrior is HAL newspace project so that is much ahead in development curve.
The other consultant for a 2nd job is for some uav flight trial btw.

Among other things , during the Women day related event in TBRL, there was one senior scientist speech about liquid fuel ramjet based tactical application, I wish I could listen to that! Kinda hints at good progress.

Where do we post the dew application related stuff? I forgot again so please move to right thread if needed.

CHESS is about to start development of some DEW application simulator. It mentioned likely application in high altitude, urban and sea side action region and can counter even cruise missiles.
