Fancy posting this, from Astra mw , most are likely completed now.
USA is actively trying to destroy our indigenous industry. Seems like madarchod dalals have completely taken over MOD.
They tried to do the Javelin, 2-3 time over the last 10 years.
Why would this happen now? They will need to localize 2/3 to have any chance. That's a win for the indigenous industry; they had to go that far because of the maturity of Indian systems.
Kalyani/BDL already localised Spike-ER2. They are far ahead.
India successfully develops new explosive that can double lethality of warheads, bombs.

Indian Army inducts first-ever indigenous chip-based made in India 4G base station from Signaltron

Indian army has inducted the first-ever indigenous chip-based 4G mobile base station, which it procured from Bangalore-based firm Signaltron through the government e-marketplace portal, a top company official said. Signaltron founder Himamshu Khasnis told PTI that the chip used in the Sahyadri LTE base stations has been developed by Signalchip.
Earlier in 2010, Khasnis and his team founded a fabless semiconductor company Signalchip to make chips for 4G and 5G networks.
"Signaltron has built the entire system indigenously using India's first chips for 4G and 5G networks developed by Signalchip. This is the first time an Indian system running on an Indian chip for complex communication technology has been inducted into the army. Using indigenous chips gives a high degree of control on the security of the system in its operation," Khasnis said.
He said the Indian Army had posted a bid on GeM (Government e-Marketplace) for the supply of 4G LTE NIB (Network in a Box) solution last year.
"Signaltron proposed the Sahyadri NIB solution and came out successful in stringent technical trials. Subsequently, Signaltron also won the competitive bid to supply the equipment. Weighing just 7 kgs, Sahyadri Network in Box (NIB) systems provide high-quality secure wireless communication for audio, video and data applications," Khasnis said.
He said the Sahyadri NIB is capable of working in both standalone and cellular modes and capable of seamless inter-operation with legacy analogue and IP telephony systems.
The majority of the base stations deployed in India are not made in India. Even the few that are made in India do not have indigenous chips inside, which is the most strategic and important component of modern electronic devices and equipment.
Signaltron has supplied 20 units to the army and the deployment of the base stations depends on their strategic requirement, Khasnis said.
"We have supplied 20 units to the army. The Army takes its own call on when and where to deploy base station. Since they are light and mobile units, it gives them the flexibility to change the location as per their requirement," he added.
At present, there is no fabrication facility in India for modern semiconductor chips. Signalchip has designed the chip indigenously and owns the entire technology that the chips deliver. In a model similar to leading semiconductor companies like Nvidia, Qualcomm, Mediatek etc, Signalchip also gets its chips fabricated through third-party wafer fabs.
Khasnis said the Indian base station market is expected to be about USD 24 billion by 2029.
"With the use of indigenous systems, there could be significant savings to forex and also boost GDP. There are sizeable market volumes available in India and worldwide. Modernisation targets of different sectors like defence, railways etc. are excellent opportunities for indigenous solutions," he said.
Khasnis said that the CNPN (Captive Network-Private Network) 4G/5G market worldwide is expected to cross USD 30 billion by 2030, which will enable large possibilities for the local chip-based base stations, thereby providing economies of scale.

Synopsis
The Indian Army has introduced its first indigenous chip-based 4G mobile base station, procured from Signaltron, a Bangalore-based firm, via the government e-marketplace portal. Developed using India's own Signalchip technology, the Sahyadri LTE base stations mark a significant milestone in domestic communication technology. Signaltron's Sahyadri Network In a Box (NIB) systems, weighing just 7 kgs, offer secure wireless communication for audio, video, and data, operating seamlessly in standalone or cellular modes. With 20 units supplied initially, the army plans strategic deployments based on operational needs, enhancing flexibility and security with locally developed chip technology.Indian army has inducted the first-ever indigenous chip-based 4G mobile base station, which it procured from Bangalore-based firm Signaltron through the government e-marketplace portal, a top company official said.
