DRDO's fastest ejection seat system

[GuardianRED]

@RPK Pal

The Pune-based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) and the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), who have developed the Canopy Severance System (CSS) for smooth ejection of a pilot in case of an emergency with a military aircraft, transferred the technology to two Hyderabad-based private firms this week

Not the Ejection Seat !!! Please correct!

What is meant by 'fastest' here? Are they comparing the speed of this seat with their previous ejection seats or with the major manufacturers?

 

[Mo12]

IAF strength 1467 total
PAF strength 923 total

triple yeah right

Old, just checked that India has 2047 aircrafts, so that can be more than double

Go to number 4 in the video:

Its the Canopy Severance System (CSS) .. not the seat .. fastest as in able to severe the canopy from the frame to enable to ejection seat to clear

The long-developed, fastest ejection system for indigenous aircrafts by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will now be outsourced for production to two private firms.

The Pune-based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) and the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) of DRDO signed an agreement with Hyderabad-based private industries - Gulf Oil Corporation and Premier Explosives - for the production of the Canopy Severance System (CSS).

The CSS provides a smooth passage for a pilot in an emergency situation by pre-weakening the cockpit canopy in the shortest possible time. "This system cuts the canopy in a matter of 10 to 20 milliseconds and is the fastest such system," explained Kashinath Deodhar, divisional head of the project at the ARDE.

Following the latest agreement which was signed by Dr K M Rajan, scientist and director, ARDE and KPS Murthy, scientist and director, HEMRL on January 20, the two private firms will be supplying eight sets each in the first phase, after fulfilling all the set qualification and functional tests applicable for air borne systems.

Presently, the system has been integrated on 15 Tejas, 12 HJT-36, 2 LCA Trainer and naval versions and the first HTT-40 aircraft.

All aircrafts are undergoing test flights with CSS onboard. ARDE and HEMRL are now capable of developing CSS for any military aircraft in India and abroad



@GuardianRED title is ok

from 2010-2016 PAF aricraft crashes (jets,helicopters ,trainer jets) is about 10(where almost 6 were trainer jets)
from 2010-2016 IAF aircraft crashes (jets,helicopter,trainer jets)is about 20 (where most of them were fighter jet(13) and helicopter (6) 1 trainer)

The IAF is about 3-4 times the size of the PAF, all you have done is demonstrate the PAF's abysmal flight safety record (with 1/4th-1/3rd the size of the IAF, they are crashing half as much).

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

India operate triple fold jets than Pakistan

ratio is 1.9 according to indian media.
Also number os indian crashes is more than 20.
from 2011 to 2014 it was 30.

in 2016. 2 jaguars some mig 21s. 1 transport plane, few helicopters

IAF total fighter jets 847 (no crashes included)
PAF total fighter jets 500 (no crashes included)

as i already said triple yeah right

no trainer,helicopter,cargo or passenger plane included

check it on wiki
