RFI is issued for the supersonic crujise missiles development partner (again, maybe with better terms than before. Companies do get issues with some govt mandate terms). Once dcpp are chosen, separate rfp will be issued to them for the actual work.
Its good to have the tara project step up. This is one standoff weapon that can be vital.
I think we can now understand why IAF was averse to standoff weaponry before & gradually opening up to it. Major focus was on old days bombing run. This trend will continue due to economic factor involved but more standoff weapons will see action. The new gen SOWs although good for precision strike, can not replace the volume offered by bombs.

IIR generally provides better accuracy than EO in dusty battlefield conditions + better suited for top-attack terminal dives on targets like airfield HAS, runways, etc. Despite its size, the warhead on SAAW is reportedly similar to the tandem 2-stage BROACH on the Scalp cm.
By the way I was thinking that since Pranash/Prahar missiles weren't inducted owing to them being developed for exports and not based on requirements of the Army. Doesn't that make CATS Hunter or the entire CATS programme in general susceptible to the same, i.e. a products built without IAF requirements (coz they're yet to have an official CCA programme).
we need need a revamp to our approval system. How tf are citical systems like the CATS programme not funded when the gov goes about posturing on atmanirbhar bharat. Stupidity.
then wtf is the IAF doing? CCA is the future? holy *censored* the incompetence
Well that's for the IAF to decide.
Good thing the Navy is atleast proactive with the Abhimanyu CCA program and MUM-T demonstrations/simulations are ongoing even without the IAF being involved.

MoD Annual Report 2020-21
Mine Influence Ground Mine (MIGM) : DRDO is involved in the design and development of MIGM capable of being triggered by multiple influences viz. acoustic, magnetic, hydrodynamic pressure, electric fields, and seismic vibration. Technical sea trials of the system were conducted in February 2020. During the trials, the advance mode of mine fire logic for target validation and triggering the mine was evaluated by target runs of 3 different ships.

Multi Influence Ground Mine (MIGM) : MIGM is an underwater naval mine equipped with precision sensors for triggering the mine based on multiple influences such as magnetic, electrical, acoustic, pressure and Extra Low Frequency Emissions (ELFE). MIGM is deployable from ships and submarines. Acoustic Counter Countermeasure (ACCM) features are inbuilt in the logic to discriminate between ship and hammer/ sweep. Advanced target classifier store signature of friendly ships has been incorporated in the mine to prevent firing against the set of friendly ships as and when detected.

I couldn't find any news related to the type of ATGM that the Indian Army ordered, I was expecting a NAG 2 order, but I got a report regarding the Invar missile for the T90.
India places $236.4m order for Invar anti-tank missiles with BDL
The Indian MoD)has entered into a contract with BDL for the procurement of Invar anti-tank missiles valued at Rs20.9bn ($236.4m).

Isn't that that a Gun launched ATGM? Why are they going for that instead of NAG 2?I couldn't find any news related to the type of ATGM that the Indian Army ordered, I was expecting a NAG 2 order, but I got a report regarding the Invar missile for the T90.

NAG is a tank-launched missile system; if we want a similar type of tank-barrel-launched missile system, we have to go with the SAMHO missile, which is not fully certified.
Invar is also tank launched though. It is launched through Gun barrel of a tank. It is also laser guided instead of using a seeker irrc.
