Kaveri engine to fly futuristic unmanned aircraft

[kurup]

So in another word, the French is rebuilding a new engine and it will be called Kavari. So the original Kavari is dead but a new engine is called Kavari is created to convince the gullible that Kavari is now a successful project.

Do you know what is a core of an engine ??

You are seeing objectively. Only because It was unable to power LCA its failure. Its counldn't powered LCA coz LCA changed its requirement. PLease read my post again..

I agree with you LCA, Kaveri , Missiles, Arjuna, Arihant all are learning projects. LCA can be proved a good point defence role fighter which will meet many objective...

Kaveri is good enough to power LCA now. It can produce same power which GE404 can. But unfortunately IAF want more power. Kaveri can not improved to generate 20% more power in 2-3 years...

I wonder how many would agree with you that LCA, Kaveri, Missiles, Arjun and Arihant are al learning projects and not meant for actual defense usage.

Well you know what is learning project is ? learning project is like the Chinese done with AC Casino they want to learn how to build AC but didn't able to .

As for information Arjun already defeated T-90 in trials...... if indian learning project defeats the best one , God's save USA from Indian actual projects ))

And of course, India refuse to induct Arjun and choose t-90 instead. So much for a better tank.

thats because Army personals get lots of $$$ from Arms agents... thats why , now the things are changing . IA own words. Arjun is best and army is going to deploy only Arjun and support it.

I think you don't know anything , just keep commenting for sake of it. t-90 deal was done when Arjun was not developed fully . Now its developed and improved version also develop. After MK-2 , IA didn't asked for any t-90 . Albet asked for t-90 for mountains because t-90 is small and suit for that area .

Army already inducted 124 MK-1 and 124 ordered Mk-2 - 248 will inducted.

moreover, Subsequently,Indian Army has shelved the plan of FMBT,as,there is no significant development in this field in last few years which makes the development of an entirely new design unrealistic.Rather,they have planned development of subsequent upgraded versions like MK3,MK4 etc like most international tank manufacturers.

IA accepted reality.

BTW your Chinese AF is rejected JF-17 , it means its failed plane then If it is failed plane then, Do you accept that JF-17 is failed plane ?

I'm not from China, you need to ask them about jf-17.

you are also not from india, then also you commenting on Indian defence products , then why cant you comment on JF-17?? )

What about Failed F-16/F-18/M777 of US products?

With Engine Project, India Aims For Unmanned Strike Aircraft
NEW DELHI — India has refocused its homegrown Kaveri engine project, originally intended for its Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), to power developmental unmanned attack aircraft, according to a Defence Ministry source. One reason the Kaveri was shifted to power an unmanned strike air vehicle (USAV) was that Missile Technology Control Regime restrictions prevent foreign suppliers from selling India engines that could give unmanned aerial systems a range greater than 300 kilometers, the MoD source said.

The engine also would be used in an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) under development. The Defence Ministry has not publicly abandoned the Kaveri for the LCA, but the aircraft’s prototype is being powered by the General Electric F404 engine, and a higher-thrust GE-F414 engine has been selected to power the Mark-2 model of LCA.

A scientist with India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which is undertaking the USAV and Kaveri projects, said the knowledge acquired during development of the Kaveri can be used in other aerospace applications, including propulsion of the USAV.

However, the scientist did not say whether the Kaveri engine will be used only for the USAV, nor would he confirm that the MoD had formally approved the Kaveri’s new role. The Kaveri was conceived in 1989 to power the indigenous LCA, but it has been hampered by technical problems. “In case the Kaveri engine is formally abandoned for the LCA, then India will need to buy all its requirements of engines for LCA Mark-2 from the overseas market,” said Nitin Mehta, a New Delhi-based defense analyst based here. The total Air Force requirement for the LCA Mark-2 is estimated at about 200.

The Kaveri engine has sufficient thrust to power the USAV, which weighs about 10 tons, but not to power the LCA, the MoD source said. The LCA also weighs about 10 tons, but it needs greater thrust to perform various aerial maneuvers. While no MoD official would publicly say if the Kaveri engine has been abandoned for LCA, MoD sources have quietly said the Kaveri will henceforth power only the USAV and the UCAV under development by DRDO. The UCAV will need a higher-thrust engine than the USAV, however, so the Kaveri project will be split into phases, one for the USAV and an upgraded version for the UCAV.

India’s USAV is being developed by Bangalore-based Aeronautical Development Agency, a DRDO laboratory under the Autonomous Unmanned Research Aircraft (AURA) project, which also has been assigned the task of developing a stealthy unmanned combat aircraft.
The AURA project is being assisted by other DRDO laboratories, including the Dehradun-based Defence Electronics Application Lab, and the Defence Avionics Research Establishment and Gas Turbine Research Establishment, both based in Bangalore. Gas Turbine has been developing the Kaveri engine. The USAV is a 10-ton UAV that would deliver unguided bombs to enemy targets and return, while the UCAV is a stealthy system, weighing 15 tons, that will carry precision-guided munitions and missiles.

Time to let this failed disaster die and write off the losses. There are more projects that India can make successful. But drop this one already. Move on.

Have you drop your engines? WS10? no, you came with WS10A and WS10B like this India will do.

In America, we don't have WS10A. You need to speak to Chinese from mainland China about it. As far as I know, WS10 have various versions if I'm correct. But I do not know much about WS10 series to comment.

Question still the same did you?

if not, why r u so concerned abt indian defence projects ?

Keeping on beating a dead horse won't revive it.

Who told you that Learning project can't use for actual defence usage?? Don't put your words in my mouth. Current Kaveri can easily power LCA, As IAF changed its requirement. We are not using it.


Except Kaveri everything is in use or will be in use... Arjuna MKI is operational (Jaisalmer Battalion) Arjuna MKII is in trial and under construction (500 in order)

Missiles: All are operational and in use.

LCA: 40 LCA MK I in order, 99 GE414 IN engine in order which will incorporated with LCA MKII

Arihant: Under trial


Stop trolling...
