That's not the LAMV bro, that's the LSV:

Presentation on DPSU products

They've really improved their presentation skills!

Speaking purely about the TATA LSV:

I like the approach TATA has taken, the front cab is armoured (should easily be able to fit 4 occupents+ 1 gunner) but there is an unarmoured covered area at the rear, this will allow the LSV to be used in a multitude of roles and allows for a high degree of modularity on this one platform, there should easily be 4-6 roles that this one vehicle can perform depending on how it is configured (ambulance, recce/scout, utility, strike, C&C etc etc). TATA is certainly learning fast and has approached this RFI with the idea of creating a family of vehicles to serve in multiple roles within the IA and perhaps other forces.

Reminds me of the orginal HUMVEE:

But in fact it is a much more modern vehicle that TATA has created, sort of a mix between HUMVEE and JLTV

 

[Abingdonboy]

I think the TATA LSV could be modelled along similar lines to the JLTV (in terms of its modularity):

If this LSV tender is finally succesful along with the FICV going to a private player (please not OFB) then the defence service's vehicle requirements will be fully taken care of by the private industry within the next decade as these two programs will require private industry to invest mammoth ammounts in R&D, manpower and infrastructure.


LSV and FICV will completely change the landscape for the industry, instead of them having an add-on defence business with products largely just modified civlian vehicles from their portfolio they will have fully fledged defence subsidaries designing and producing bespoke solutions purely for the military.

All major automotive industry giants must collaborate each other for a refined armed forces Vehicle.
The should have requirement to run on various fuels either petrol (all grades), Diesel, kerosene, ethanol or biodiesel etc.

DHRUV, a perfect patrol vehicle for police forces to tackle in urban areas, has comfortable seating for a fully equipped response team of ten to twelve men and is based on the Ford F550 American chassis. The special air-conditioning vehicle with working space, rotating turrets and exceptionally viewing large armored glass has been developed on Indian right hand drive chassis with a protection level of B4 can be also uparmored to B7, with runflat tyres and after armouring having an excess playload of four tons with a top speed of 95 kmph.

“VIPER”, the fast moving armoured vehicle is suitably customized for attacking with B7+ proof accessories. It has four side doors, a single rear luggage door, rotating turret & cross-country, a pick up van style for additional and heavy payload. This vehicle carries a total crew complement of Six and is armored to exceed the European B7+ armor.

Told you guys this is Future Indian Army standard issue rifle
IWI US released the sneak peak of the 7.62x51(.308) version of the Tavor...!!

IWI US division just posted the picture (below) of what loks like is the much anticipated Tavor .308 in their Facebook page.

The rifle looks interesting. It is like a hybrid between the SAR and X95. The handguard and mag well are reminiscent of an SAR. Even the bolt release is SAR styled. Yet the handguard appears to have MLOK slots. In front of the handguard is what looks like an adjustable gas block. The magazine release is similar to the X95. The rear of this new .308 Tavor looks odd with such a flat stock. As if it was chopped in photoshop. It is suspected the barrel to be 18″ giving the rifle a greater OAL and so it does not need the thicker buttpad that the SAR and X95 do to keep the OAL greater than 26. No word yet on price or when it will be available.

The Tavor in .308 was highly anticipated especially among the likes of Indians due to the Army's renewed demand for a 7.62x51 AR. It remains to be seen when IWI of Israel will start marketing the rifle. There were talks of developing a 7.62 NATO Tavor/X95 back in 2013. It was even hinted at the recent IWI-Punj Lloyd JV PLR that a 7.62x51mm variant of the Tavor was on the cards. As of now this seems to be a US civilian market rifle only.

Ka-226T ‘Kamov’ helicopter
http://indianexpress.com/article/in...s-to-be-procured-under-make-in-india-4738057/


The Navy is planning to get 110 light utility helicopters manufactured by an Indian firm in collaboration with a foreign firm, India Today reported. The move comes after Russian Kamov-226T copters, that were pressed into service in 2002, are reportedly short of the Navy’s requirements. A government source told Mail Today that “as the strategic partnership policy has been cleared by the government, an Expression of Interest would be issued to the Indian firms by the Defence Ministry in the next few weeks to buy 110 copters, which would be under the ‘Made in India’ project.” The source added that the old Kamov 226T does not meet the requirements of the Navy and so new tender would be required for buying these light utility helicopters.

The Russian Kamov-226T is a small, twin-engined Russian utility helicopter. Instead of having a conventional cabin, it has an interchangeable mission pod. It allows the use of various accommodation or equipment configurations. It was built in a joint venture between Russia and India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Its aim was to supply 200 helicopters to the Army and Air Force in order to replace their vintage fleet of Cheetah and Chetak copters.

According to the India Today report, Indian firms like Mahindra, L&T and Bharat Forge are likely to take part in the tender along with foreign partners like Airbus Helicopters from Europe, Russian Helicopters, Sikorsky and Bell Helicopters from the US. It has been more than two years now that the force had to wait as the government was formulating the strategic partnership policy during this time.

In 2014, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had scrapped a Rs 6,500 crore Navy helicopter deal for buying 16 multi-role helicopters for the Navy from America. The objective was to promote ‘Make in India’ in the military sector for reducing imports.

The Navy is also trying to come out with a fresh deal for obtaining 123 Naval Multi-role Helicopters (NMRH) through the Make in India route. It will be one of the biggest helicopter deals in the world.
