No, things your IQ siblings say are not worth commenting on.

Nah, mate. These programs were in the works since years. This is simply the result of this year being 2022. Nothing else.

Seems to be a huge development for our Pvt sector which seems to have gone under the radar.

India's existing Hypersonic program focuses on scramjet engine technology that will result in a hypersonic cruise missile in a few years.

In what will be a significant boost to the MOVE leg of the Navy's Indigenisation triad of "FLOAT, MOVE, FIGHT" Electric Propulsion has been included in the Make-1 category. The Navy has been looking to switch to this propulsion technology for their future warships. pic.twitter.com/kl4VcG8KRR

How come there's not much hype or articles by the usual suspects in the MSM or even discussions out here on what's probably the greatest push for MII or Atma Nirbharta in the last 2 decades if not more ??!

significant boost in coming years. Hopefully things will move in the expected direction. Anyhow this is a good start.

These are all programs that would've been DRDO programs. How much private companies can do in these programs themselves is a ? Right now in some of these programs. But they could fund DRDO labs and call it design consultation. Anyway prototype building and subsystem design is

— Sriram (@sriramthg) March 12, 2022

Already being done by DCPPs in many programs. Given these will be multi-year development we found hopefully see sustained (& hopefully increased) funding as and when they need it. Only wish is that this should've been in addition to traditional drdo budget 🤦

So many years and yet no movement on indigenous gas turbines to power your own frontline P15B destroyers. But suddenly lets give free visas to Ukrainian designers to come to India. When they have a free run to RR and MTU and Siemens in Germany they'll come to India no?

— Sriram (@sriramthg) March 14, 2022

Ultimate arbiter of big-ticket arms deals are politicians, PMO in the current govt. Even if forces have their own biases and faults, MoD/MoF/PMO calls the shots. AK-203 should've been IDDM. R&D Budget has been stagnant and woefully inadequate for the challenges India faces.

"But drdo engineers spend their time at Indranagar pubs only. What do they do other than doing timepass all day". Right. Listen to their tears sometime and you'll understand what's happening. Why do people think some of us would dearly love another sanctions era?

— Sriram (@sriramthg) March 14, 2022

We want a private company to come in and develop a Boost-Glide Vehicles & other things using a portion of 25% (~ $300mn) of India's R&D Budget (~ $1.22bn). Granted that is an allocation for one year and not the entire program. Numbers below. https://t.co/gc4MWUzZdp

As part of expansion of the existing unit, BEL has taken up establishment of an Advance Night Vision Products Factory in Nimmaluru Village, Pamarru Mandal, Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh in an area of around 50 acres, to cater to the futuristic requirements for Night Vision Products. The new factory is likely to create direct and indirect employment for around 500 people.

They don't operate at the same altitude.

ISR is for 12-20/30Km altitude, whereas Ghatak is for below 12Km.

A penetrative ISR is needed to support Ghatak.

You are right there is supersonic highly manoeuvrable UAV under development by ADA. May be it will be used for ISR role but right now they are calling it as interceptor.

That new drone is for the air superiority role. It's called FUFA. A penetrative ISR should be many years away due to its complexity. The other two drones will be far more expendable in comparison.

This guy, Sriram, is severely underestimating the value of $300M for R&D in India. Our most expensive R&D program, AMCA, will cost us a mere $250M per year on average, minus engine. You can do a lot of stuff for $300M a year. Like the entire R&D cost of Arjun tank over the many decades was a little over $200M with inflation.

It is different from FUFA and it's design is futuristic.
