From the looks of it, companys are more interested in pitching UAV's to Indian defence market this time..

Which is not surprising, UAVs are not only the future anymore, but are important in all current conflicts as well. They will take over key roles and Indian industry is still not up to date in this field.

The Indian Air Force is planning to induct 20 more Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) aircraft from the British BAE Systems for its aerobatic team Surya Kiran which has been grounded since last year.

Surya Kiran was disbanded shortlly after Aero India 2011 due to a shortage of trainers. The team will be raised again soon with the BAE Hawk AJT for which a seperate order for 20 AJTs will be made soon.

The Indian military and even federal and state law enforcement are looking at UAV systems and it has been said there something like a requirement for 1000+ UAVs for such forces by 2020-22.

Interesting-I've not heard any such plans for procuring a new sidearm for the IA other than for the SF. This seems to be for the regulars- must be part of the F-INSAS program.
