  • DRDO Successfully Tests Armour-Piercing Nag Missiles At
    Tue, 09 July 2019 DRDO successfully tests armour-piercing Nag Missiles at Pokhran range The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO designed and developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore New Delhi: Moving closer toward the induction of the Nag anti-tank guided missiles into the Army, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Sunday carried out three successful test firings of the missiles in the Pokhran firing ranges. "The missiles were test-fired during both day and night on Sunday during the trials. All three tests were successful," DRDO officials said. Government sources said the missile is in the final stages of being inducted into the Army which will use it by mounting them on modified armoured vehicles. The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO-designed- and-developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore. The system includes a third-generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA). The NAG missile is a third-generation anti-tank guided missile, which has top attack capabilities that can effectively engage and destroy all known enemy tanks during both day and night operations. The successful induction of NAG missile into the Army is expected to give a quantum boost to the Army's capability against enemy armour. NAG was one of the first five strategic missiles planned to be developed under the Integrated Missile Development Programme initiated in the 1980s. The other missiles developed under the project include Agni, Prithvi and Akash, and all three have been successfully developed and inducted into the armed forces.

The competiton will be held at IIT Delhi with an aim to provide a platform for the Indian Start-up Ecosystem to showcase their budding ventures to the mentors and investors from India and abroad. It is a three-stage competition which offers prizes worth over INR 15 lakhs to the winners along with a trip to the Silicon Valley. The winner would get INR 10 Lakhs, where as the first and second runner up will receive INR 500,000 and INR 300,000 respectively. The startups can submit their applications till January 25, 2015 after which around 40-45 start-ups would be selected for the second round. The selection into the third round would depend on the basis of the commitment of all the members of the startup regarding their idea. After getting selected into the third round, the startups would be assigned a mentor from some of the VC firms eg. Sequoia, Helion etc. and would be provided structured mentoring. The final stage of the Start-up Showcase Competition will be conclude on March 7, 2015. Being entrepreneurship enthusiasts ourselves, we firmly believe that a startup cannot be judged in one day, and hence the competition is more of a process rather than a single event, spanning a period of three months, with each team monitored by a group of mentors beyond the first stage, hence ensuring a productive three months for each of the participating teams, EDC, IIT Delhi mentioned on its website.

  • Built Anti-Submarine Torpedo Varunastra Soon
    Fri, 10 Jan 2020 Indian Navy to get first tranche of indigenously- built anti-submarine torpedo Varunastra soon The heavyweight torpedo Varunastra is a ship-launched, electrically-propelled underwater weapon equipped with one of the most advanced automatic and remote-controlled guidance systems By Ritesh K Srivastava New Delhi: The Indian Navy will soon receive the first tranche of indigenously-built heavyweight anti-submarine torpedo Varunastra, which is likely to add more firepower to India's marine defence capabilities. According to reports, the first tranche of torpedo Varunastra, which has been developed by the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL), a premier laboratory of the DRDO, will be handed over to the Indian navy within four months. Its formal induction into the Indian Navy will catapult India into the elite club of eight countries possessing the capability to design and build such a naval defence system. The heavyweight torpedo Varunastra is a ship-launched, electrically-propelled underwater weapon equipped with one of the most advanced automatic and remote-controlled guidance systems. The weapon system uses its own intelligence in tracking the target. Capable of hitting stealth submarines underwater, the 1,500-kg Varunastra can carry a warhead weighing 250 kg and has an operational range of 40 km. The anti-submarine electric torpedo is seven to eight metres long with a diameter of 533 mm. According to the DRDO, the submarine, which can travel at a speed of 40 knots (74 km/h), can be launched both from ships and submarines. It has GPS-based locating aid, a unique feature in contemporary torpedoes in the world, according to the DRDO.

  • Marine Nuclear Power 1939 – 2018 Part 5 China-India-Japan & Others
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 - 2018 Part 5: China, India, Japan & other nations Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.
