India is one massive failure. Glad to know that we are ahead of India in the missile project. Let's keep it that way by MIRVing our BMs.
 
BrahMos aerospace unit all set for second phase of expansion

Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): BrahMos Aerospace's facility here is embarking on its second phase of expansion on Tuesday aiming to convert the unit into a fully capable Missile Integration Complex.

Defence Minister A K Antony will inaugurate the second phase of development tomorrow, less then a year after the Centre took over the state-run company to convert it into a major centre for production of defence and space-related component manufacturing centre, BrahMos Aerospace CEO and MD Dr A Sivathanu Pillai told reporters here.

After making it the second facility of BrahMos Aerospace after the Hyderabad centre, the unit had been concentrating on manufacture of components and sophisticated equipment needed by ISRO, Defence and Atomic energy Department, Pillai said.

For instance, the Robotic Arm developed by the unit had been used by Babha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai for handling nuclear material.

In the subsequent phase, the centre would be making the booster for the 'Sourya surface-to-surface nuclear capable missile,' which was an important mission in Indian missile development programme, Pillai said.

In the current phase of expansion, seven acres of land now in possession of Indian Air force adjacent to the main campus is expected to be handed over to BrahMos aerospace, Pillai said.

The state government had offered to hand over 50 acres of land in the city outskirts for the third phase of expansion.

The unit was expected to get AS 9001 certification by March end this year which would make the components made here internationally competent, he said.
 
Antony calls for self-reliance in defence production

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Defence minister A K Antony has called for achieving self-reliance in defence production, stating it was of importance to
ensure security of the nation and economic progress.

Launching the missile integration complex of the BrahMos Aerospace Thiruvananthapuram (BATL) here today, Mr Antony said the country presently relied on foreign suppliers for 70% of its defence equipment and arms, pointing out that there was great scope to substantially increase the indigenous capability in this area.

He said the country stood to benefit from indigenous production of defence supplies, because it would free us from bottlenecks related to internal policies of the countries that supply us arms.

The BrahMos unit here is expecting revenues of Rs 26 crore for this fiscal, up from Rs 17 crore last year. BrahMos Aerospace CEO and managing director A Sivathanu Pillai said BATL expected to receive the AS 9100 certification by the end of March, and that component production volumes were expected to increase substantially as ISRO's space launches increased in frequency.

France offers technology to India to build 'desi' missile




France offers technology to India to build 'desi' missile


Bangalore, Feb 11 (PTI) France is ready to transfer technology of its surface-to-air missile to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India so that this country can build its own version, French Minister of State for Defence Jean-Marie Bockel said today.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of air show, Aero India 2009, he said the offer is currently under discussions with Indian authorities.

On the absence of Rafale, made by France's Dassault Aviation, one of the contenders for India's 126 fighter jets contract, from the show, he said Rafale is on display back in France and is available for those who want to test it.

"All the Rafale that could have been sent to India for this air show...Are presently in (combat) operation in Afghanistan", he said.

"Rafale will be present at all stages of evaluation (in India in its bid for the contract) and we believe it's the best plane available", Bockel said.

Asked if France would stop sales of weapons to Pakistan in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks blamed on elements within that neighbouring country, he said "France wants Pakistan to act very concretely and fully against terrorism at all the levels of the State".

"We say that to Pakistan, we will continue to say it to Pakistan", Bockel added. PTI

Same time exactly. You choose to call it 14th, and India called it 15th. Pakistan's desire to prove that its different from India. Nothing more, nothing less.

I could prolly post something more vitriolic that'd rile up a lot of members including you here. So let that be.
