As part of this project, about 90 Heron unmanned aerial vehicles from three services will be upgraded, to be armed with laser-guided bombs, air to the ground and air-launched anti-tank guided missiles- reported July 15, 2020 07.10 AM ISTIt will be a significant upgrade allowing the reintroduction of light tanks, which can play a crucial role in areas such as Ladakh, where they may be more catchy than heavy battle tanks, informed sources told ET. The acquisition will be made as part of an emergency purchase nod, given the recent ladakh standoff to strengthen defense.11 February 2020, 10.24 AM IST Army has promised the industry a guaranteed order of 101 launchers and 2,330 missiles if the tests are successful, but potential orders in the coming decade could be ten times that number. For example, last year alone, the army cleared the purchase of 5,000 inter-Milan 2T missiles to resupply.12 October 2020, around 10:30 a.m., the ISTThe missile was fired from a comprehensive test site at Balas in Odisha. A few minutes later, the missile developed a technical snag, after which the testing process was interrupted.

SpecificationsMass14.5 kg (32 lb) WarheadAl explosive antitumor warhead (HEAT) is an Indian third-generation fire-guided missile from ATG. It is currently being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in partnership with Indian defence contractor VEM Technologies Private Limited. The MPATGM design is a low mass, long cylindrical rocket with a group of four fins around its mid-section. It is equipped with a high explosive anti-aircraft (HEAT) warhead. (1) Has a length of about 1300 mm and a diameter of about 120 mm with aluminum and carbon fiber running tube and folding tripod to save on weight. It weighs 14.5 kg, with its 14.25 kg command starting unit (CLU), which combines a laser constructor with a digital all-weather sight. It has a range of about 2.5 km. MPATGM is equipped with a modern infrared (IIR) sensor and integrated avionics. The missile has the highest possible attack capability. It reportedly has a lot in common with systems such as the FGM-148 Javelin and Spike (ATGM). The development of the DRDO began work on a portable version of the Nag rocket in 2005. On December 20, 2017, India canceled a major acquisition of Israel's Spike (ATGM) in favor of DRDO MPATGM, deciding that the transfer of technology was not required for the development of MPATGM. However, India reauthorized the deal in January 2018 during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to India. The deal was cancelled again in June 2019 after DRDO promised to deliver MPATGM by 2021. However, the Indian Army has bought a limited amount of Spike (ATGM) to meet their immediate needs until MPATGM is ready for induction. MPATGM trials will be completed by 2020.

Beginning with the principles of rocketry from early time to the present, Erik Bergaust classifies all forty-two current operational missiles into four basic categories : air-to-air ; air-to-surface ; surface- to-air; and surface-to-surface. From the Navy's highly sophisticated Polaris to the Sidewinder, widely used in Vietnam, the author pinpoints the type, propulsion, guid- ance, performance, and construction of each rocket. A picture and a short paragraph describing each rocket's military use, plus a glossary, are included. Inspection of liquid hydrogen engines. Hydro- gen is a powerful fuel and is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. Fuels are car- ried in the missile in separate tanks and are mixed in the rocket's combustion chamber where the burning takes place. / Bell ROCKETS of the ARMED FORCES By Erik Bergaust 76 6. P.

Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application.

    ATGM) Nag Is in Advanced Stages of Development

    DRDO DEFENDS NAG MISSILES The state-of-the-art indigenous Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) Nag is in advanced stages of development. A new Man Portable ATGM (MPATGM) was also in advanced stages of trials. Early this week, the Army fired two newly inducted Spike-LR (Long Range) ATGM at the Infantry School at Mhow in Madhya Pradesh. It recently procured a small lot of 12 launchers and around 250 missiles from Israel under the new financial powers for emergency procurements sanctioned by the Defence Ministry a few months back. A statement on the test-firing, issued by a public relations firm on behalf of Spike manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, said that with the confidence in the missile established, the Indian Army may need to “revisit” their plans for third generation missiles. “Both the DRDO ATGM programme, as well as the invitation to Indian industry to develop a 3rd Gen missile will need a rethink, as having a 4th Gen missile will put the plan for the development of a 3rd Gen missile questionable,”. INDIA CORRUPTION SURVEY, 2019 As per the India Corruption Survey 2019, Rajasthan and Bihar fared the worst in country with 78% and 75% of respondents admitting to paying bribes, while Telangana topped the list in south India. The survey was carried out between October 2018 and November 2019 and was conducted by Local Circles, a social media firm and the Transparency International India. It had a total of 1.9 lakh responses from nearly 81,000 unique respondents in 248 districts across 20 Indian states.
