This is one of many enabling technologies which are required for high tech manufacturing required in the areas like Jet Engines, but are important in many other sectors as well.

What is Near Isothermal Technology..? For this one must understand what happens in the regular https://t.co/1G9DmTguMb

The opposite. Ka-226T isn't in the list since it's twin engine.

LUH is a stable platform. The only issue was tail and wing folding

The ATHOS isn't in the list.

The ATHOS isn't in the list.

It was there in the previous list.

 

[Chain Smoker]

DRDO 50 KW chemical oxygen iodine laser ( COIL)

 

[Chain Smoker]

Master Control Unit for Electro‐Optics based Electronic Warfare Suite.

Any guess for which system. @Gautam

It was there in the previous list.

Yep, but weirdly ATHOS is still in the running. Probably because the tender predates the negative list.

It will continue to run will dec 2021.

 

[randomradio]

It will continue to run will dec 2021.

It's not set in stone though, it can get extended. It was already extended once from Dec 2020 to the new date.

Confusing name. There is an airborne Directed Energy IR Counter Measure System being developed. This could by a subsystem of that. I am not sure though.

For AMCA.

 

[Gautam]

For AMCA.

Probably for DIRCM then. Still strange to call it part of aircraft's EW suite.

No I am asking where it will be used. In AMCA or helicopter?

The projects makes no mention of use cases. Given its size it will be used on an airborne platform. I initially thought transport aircrafts can benefit from it as they are slow flying as thus easy targets for MANPADs. Though it could be used in fighters & helos with some miniaturization.
