Today the ambience is right, with the maturity of Indian industry and our own R&D capabilities”. The eminent Missile Scientist who envisioned and evolved the Strategies for Long Range Missiles and led the design and development of AGNI series of Missile Systems, further said, “We have taken major programs in multiple areas. Our focus is on performance and timely deliveries of critical programmes like LCA, Artillery Guns and Surface to Air Missiles Systems. Simultaneously, we want to make sure that DRDO becomes a leading technology agency in the world. While we set our eyes focus on higher and higher technologies and support industry in on this process, we need to involve academia in a very close realizing requirements of our armed forces”. interaction to create frontline centers of excellence in R&D”.

Schiebel raises the pitch for CAM COPTER – S 100 he Austrian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles manufacturing company TSchiebel is looking at India as its one of the major markets for its CAM COPTER – S 100. The company has submitted its proposal for the sale six CAM COPTER – S 100 for Indian Army, Navy and Cost guard. According to Mr Andrew Byrne, Global Sales and Business Development in charge, Schiebel’s new CAM COPTER – S 100 fitted with new heavy fuel engine having 240 KM speed, 200 KM range and 50 Kg payload will be the cheapest and most efficient system in this category for both the Naval and Civil use. Advanced Camera and Radar are fitted in the COM COPETR – S 100. The new maritime radar was developed by Salex and Thales and the engine is developed by Schiebel. The composite body is strong. The company is offering two months training for the six member crew and onsite support and spare parts for one year with CAM COPTER – S 100. The advantage of the upgraded COM COPETR – S 100 is that it is more economical for the users and cost effective. For monitoring the security of pipelines and border patrolling, the advanced technology of CAM COPTER – S 100 is ideal. Schiebel is having two decades of expertise in the manufacturing of COM soon. Schiebel’s first CAM COPTER started Schiebel is in discussion with DRDO COPETRS. Now 140 units are flying flying in 1995.

t is now a long established standard in the mobile communications arena for manufacturers to install active Icomponents directly into the antenna. More recently, producers of radar systems have been motivated to incorporate more and more into the antenna as the need for more technically sophisticated solutions becomes more and more ubiquitous. The benefit? A huge increase in system efficiency and enhancement to the integrity of the signal. For radar rotary joints, this means that the traditional RF modules for the diff erent frequency bands are being replaced by diverse media couplers, power current paths and signal transmission paths. The media couplers are used to create a cooling circuit with a liquid medium and, if required, for the ventilation and/or depressing of the RF line sections with dry air. The power current is primarily necessary for supplying the radar amplifiers, which often achieve an output rating of several Dual Channel Ethernet Module 100 kW. In addition to this, antenna heating systems are also supplied with it. The electrical signals from and to the active antenna equipment are transmitted either optically via a multi That’s why the Ethernet module also consistently supports channel fiber optic rotary joint, by a slip ring or by means of a Gigabit Ethernet regardless of the dimensions. The intelligent contactless coupler. electronics (Ethernet subassembly) recognise the Ethernet The optical rotary joint has the disadvantage, however, that standard of the connected devices automatically, and adjust it requires the central inner bore of the overall system.

The missile performed high-level “C” maneuvere at pre-determined flight path and successfully hit the target. The surface-to-surface missile, having a range of 290-km, was test launched from the Russian-built Project 1135.6 class warship. The launch was carried out by Indian Navy as part of Acceptance Test Firing (ATF) of the ship. Indian Navy commissioned INS Tarkash on 9 November, 2012. The warship along with two other frigates of the class - INS Teg and INS Trikand have been built as part of a $1.6 billion contract signed between India and Russia in July, 2006. INS Teg was commissioned on 27 April, 2012 and the commissioning of INS Trikand is expected soon. The advanced warship has been fitted with an upgraded multi-role combat suite to make it one of the most potent platforms of the Indian Navy. The weapons suite of INS Tarkash includes surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missile systems, 100 mm medium range gun, close-in weapon system, torpedo tubes and anti- submarine rockets. The BRAHMOS surface-to-surface missile system is capable of engaging targets at extended ranges at supersonic speed. All the three ships will be equipped with 8 vertical launched BRAHMOS missile system as the prime strike weapon. The new missile frigates are designed to accomplish a wide range of maritime missions, primarily hunting down and destroying large surface ships and submarines. Defence Minister A K Antony with Admiral DK Joshi, Chief of Naval Staff.
