‘India On Par With Others in Electronic Warfare’

[Major Shaitan Singh]

India is on par with other countries in electronic warfare, senior scientist Saktipada Dash, who took over as director of a prestigious defence electronics research laboratory, said Wednesday.

Dash was deeply involved in path-breaking research in missile projects like Prithvi, Agni and BrahMos.

“We are almost on par with other countries in electric warfare,” said Dash who took charge as director of the prestigious Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL) at Hyderabad Tuesday.

DLRL, a lab of country’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has been designing and developing electronic warfare systems covering radar and communication frequency bands for the Indian army, navy and air force for over four decades.

“Communication technology and radar technology is changing very fast. Everybody is updating their systems. We will have to find out what they are doing and counter that”, he told IANS in a telephone interview, explaining the challanges ahead.

Dash was credited with hundreds of flights tests and evaluation of missiles and weapon systems during his previous assignment of over five years as director of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur in Odisha.

He said to make its systems effective efforts are always on to upgrade country’s electronic warfare systems. Some systems have already been developed and are being used by army, navy and air force.

“Some more are under progress”, he said, adding that those cannot be divulged because they are highly classified.

Born in the Odisha’s Cuttack district 1955, Dash stood first in the state’s higher secondary board. He did his B.Tech in electronics and communications from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur in 1977.

He was deeply involved in the design and development of electronics systems for the Trishul, Nag, Akash, Astra, BrahMos, Prithvi and Agni missile programmes.

He has received Prime Minister’s DRDO Award for path breaking research and performance excellence four times.

I would expect these statement from politicians not from highly successful scientist.

I would say that we are catching up with others in this field because if we were self sufficient we would not import various items from other countries including radar's.

However, I believe we will be on par in next couple of years. Good Going Mr.s Dash.

Beeing self sufficient doesn't mean that we have also the best techs, so it does make sense to add foreign stuff to our own developed to make it even more leathal. Good examples are the EW systems of our Russian origin fighters, that are getting more and more Indian techs, while we still add more capable Israeli or European parts too.
Also he didn't mentioned which countries, so he probably might not mean the top countries, but we do have developed a good base in the EW field.

A very odd name to have Mr. Dash ( mean no disrespect to him)
@on topic I think we are only getting there and it would be wrong to count your chickens before they hatch.

I just have a very quick question:

how india achieved this when it couldn't even build AESA radar on its own?
how india achieved this when it couldn't even design a CPU/DSP on its own?

Simple, because we didn't have peaceful to serve us .. with his high IQ brain.

Go to bed, and try another attempt tomorrow for completing an IQ test.

I am sure, if you keep trying ... .one day, you will succeed in completing that damn test.

india already built its own AESA...
IAF Beefs up Network-Centric Operations, Installs New Radars along Gujarat
and DSP isn't a hotshot technology,neither every plane needs DSP..

@topic...

we don't have dedicated EW aircraft like growler and prowler..right???

 

[Secur]

How many dedicated warfare planes are in service with IAF developed in India ? ... Does he even understand what " being on par " means ?

Pentagon to test Indian’s next-gen chip

Raj Dutt, an Indian-American, IIT-Kharagpur alumnus, has developed a next-generation energy-efficient computer chip that has caught the attention of the Pentagon, which is testing its application in the ambitious F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.

The breakthrough technology by Dutt, Chairman and CEO of privately-held APIC Corp and Photonic Corp, helps computer processors consume up to 90 per cent less energy and run up to 60 per cent faster.

“The significance of the technology is that information transfer on the semiconductor chip as well as between components, will now be done using light photons instead of just electrons,” Dutt told PTI.

There are many advantages in size, weight and especially power consumed, he explained during his recent trip to Washington, where he met visiting Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

Photons do not generate heat, thus thy...do not need to be cooled. For electronics, cooling is one of the largest cost components.

“Photonic interconnects do not generate heat and use less size than electronic copper interconnects, so more transistors can be put onto a chip. Most significantly, we have figured out how to do this using the same economical process used in manufacturing semiconductor chips today, enabling them to be stamped out by the millions,” Dutt said....

Intel shows off new India-made processor

Intel on Tuesday announced the launch of the world's first ever six-core Intel Xeon Processor 7400 series products designed in India [ Images ] for the first time.

The Intel India team designed Intel's first 6-core x86 microprocessor from Bangalore - the Intel Xeon 7400 series processor -- formerly codenamed Dunnington.

Dunnington is Intel's first six-core CPU with 16 MB of L3 cache memory and 1.9 billion transistors, Intel said in a

statement. The Intel India team planned and executed end-to-end design activities including front-end design, pre-silicon logic validation and the back-end design for Dunnington which completes the transition of the entire Intel Xeon family to Intel's 45nm Hi-K manufacturing process, it said.

The company said: "It is socket compatible with the Intel Xeon 7300, while delivering up to 1.5x performance/watt benefit, making the transition cost effective. The Intel India design team from Bangalore, through solid partnerships with several cross-site teams delivered the product."

The Xeon MP Server is a platform suited for virtualization and the new Xeon 7400 processor offers enhanced performance and support for Intel VT FlexMigration along with server system level scalability, making it the platform of choice for virtualisation.

"Post-silicon validation drives the crucial decision of whether a product is ready for high volume production and market introduction. It also tracks the product performance and power in the user environment to give the final go-ahead for market introduction. Post silicon validation activities like system validation were undertaken at Intel's Bangalore facility", the statement said.

According to Intel, Dunnington was required to meet the company's highest standards of specification in quality including reliability, application compatibility, functionality, manufacturability, physical parameters, performance and platform design compliance.

The team also worked with the ecosystem to develop specialised debug tools for the latest technology validation and met performance benchmark targets and longevity goals to protect end-customers' investment in Intel high end server technology, it said.

Finally, Intel India also provided critical hardware and software applications enabling engineering support to customers in India to ensure their readiness to launch their solutions along with Intel.

"Intel India has been steadily contributing to the development of Intel's products. Other contributions included the Napa, Santa Rosa and Montevina mobile platforms and the Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 and Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor families' design and validation," it said.

AMD unveils 'Made in India' Fusion family combining CPU & GPU on one chip

Silicon sangam is here! AMD has heralded a new era of computing fuelled by a new system-on-a-chip family seamlessly merging general purpose and graphics processiong on the same slab of silicon. AMD’s Fusion Family of what it calls Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) uses a single die design to house multi-core CPU (x86) technology with a powerful graphics and a parallel processing engine. Also on board are a dedicated high-definition video acceleration block, and a high-speed bus that speeds data across the differing types of processor cores within the same design. In other words, CPU+GPU is APU.

Significantly the Fusion family was built from concept to foundry tape-out by AMD’s India based engineers in Hyderabad and Bangalore.

The APU comes in the following two versions based on performance and (low) power draw.
The E-Series, an 18-watt APU formerly codenamed “Zacate” is for ultrathin, mainstream, and value notebooks as well as desktops and all-in-ones.
The C-Series, a 9-watt APU formerly codenamed “Ontario” for netbooks and small form factor desktops and devices.
Both these series are “owned” by AMD’s Hyderabad centre – industry jargon denoting substantial design and development input and responsibility for the future roadmap of the device.

Over 11 AMD Fusion-based systems are expected to be launched in India in the first half of 2011 from leading manufacturers including Sony, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, MSI and Toshiba,

“AMD Fusion marks a monumental shift in computing performance, experience and possibilities because of the powerful combination of CPUs and discrete-level GPUs,” says Ravi Swaminathan, Managing Director and Regional Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, AMD India at the launch in Bangalore. “AMD Fusion will eliminate the need for consumers to choose between power and performance enabling exciting new computing experiences at price points that offer tremendous value. This will also allow our partners to offer exciting new form factors on a robust computing platform…..With the APU technology in our stable, we will define the industry standard in personal computing”.

Adds Manju Hegde, Corporate Vice President, Fusion Experience Program. “Through Fusion, AMD is targeting the “sweet spot” for accelerated HD experiences across notebooks, desktops and HD netbooks. Following the successful strategy set by our discrete GPU business, our Fusion APUs are focused on delivering a performance advantage consumers can see and feel in the highest-sales volume segments of the PC industry.”
Also under advanced development for May 2011 release is the Fusion ‘A’ series which effectively kicks the 100 Giga Flop performance of the low powered A and C series to supercomputing space -- more than 500 G Flops on a notebook. This work is being done in AMD’s Bangalore centre says AMD Corporate VP and Chief Engineer ( low power products) Michael Goddard.
According to AMD, the Fusion design enables improvements in some key areas of user interest:

High Definition, HD 2.0 Everywhere The VISION Engine is a n unmatched combination of:
- DirectX 11-capable graphics
- Massive parallel processing to speed application performance[ii] - The UVD3 video acceleration block found in the new AMD Radeon™ HD 6800 Series GPUs
- Unique graphics driver capabilities updated on a monthly basis to continuously improve visual performance

Selecting a PC equipped with the VISION Engine means Internet browsing is a faster, application-like experience; 1080p HD video playback is smooth and quiet; standard definition video looks high-definition; 2D content can be converted into stereoscopic 3D; even the most graphics-intensive websites load quickly; manipulating HD content is fast and easy; and 3D gaming at HD resolutions is fast and life-like.[iii]

Personal Supercomputing AMD Fusion APUs allows developers to take full advantage of the parallel processing power of a GPU – more than 500 GFLOPs for the upcoming A-Series “Llano” APUt hus bringing supercomputer-like performance to every day computing tasks. More applications can run simultaneously and they can do so faster than previous designs in the same class.ii

AMD AllDay Power Additionally, AMD Fusion technology enables all-day battery life – 10 hours or more. The new power-saving features present in the single-chip design greatly extend the time between plug-ins, even when enjoying HD content.
