Time for an indigenous arms industry

[Icewolf]

Weapons are based on the same technology and in India everything is being produced.

We make from needle till atom bomb, satellites, radars, rockets and manned orbiter vehicles.

Right but your Vedic ancestors used to make spaceships and laser weapons...

But billions on Earth actually believe in some human made god. That rules over humans, and puts them into internal hell or some internal heaven under him.

All these military equipment are being produced inside India . List is too long . I have just post from the state owned ordnance factories.

There are 41 Ordnance Factories and 8 Public Sector Undertakings of the Ministry of Defence: HAL, BEL, BEML, BDL, MDL, GSL, GRSE, Midhani.

India’s ‘military industrial complex’ also includes 140 private armament companies and 5000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in production of around 450 items

All these equipment could be build in India on the condition that the technology of transfer took place. How many of these weapons are Indian designed?

There is a thread that he Arjun tank has been scrapped. The INSAS is obsolete and army is desperately looking for a new gun which for a change is reliable and works. Carl Gustave is not India and neither is the AK 630 and T-90.

Rig Vedas do talk about the ancient people and the Heavens.

All these equipment could be build in India on the condition that the technology of transfer took place. How many of these weapons are Indian designed?

There is a thread that he Arjun tank has been scrapped. The INSAS is obsolete and army is desperately looking for a new gun which for a change is reliable and works. Carl Gustave is not India and neither is the AK 630 and T-90.

All these equipments are made in India since many years and Technology transfers are like joint programmes in which money and expertises are involved.

DRDO has identified areas such as ammunition for tanks and artillery guns where indigenisation would be carried out in a big way. "We have attained total indigenisation in sonars and radars,"

DRDO sold the technology to manufacture an Explosive Detection Kit in the US to an American company.

India has exported only assault rifles, a few helicopters along with some naval vessels to friendly foreign countries.

‘Gear up to meet surge in demand for defence equipment’ - The Hindu

India needs a material policy, says Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister
Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister G. Sateesh Reddy on Friday called upon the government-run research and development organisations like the Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC) to gear up to meet the quantum surge in demand for defence equipment and material in the next few years.

Participating in the NFC Day celebrations here on Friday, Mr. Reddy, also the Director of Research Centre Imarat (RCI), who recently took over as the Scientific Advisor, felt that research institutions like NFC and others in India need to learn to supply their indigenously-developed materials and products abroad.

“If the defence manufacturing industry in India has to survive, then we have to learn to supply world class products abroad. We have to plan for 10 to 15 years ahead or else our institutions will continue to play catch-up with the technology developed by the U.S., Europe and China-based companies,” Dr. Sateesh Reddy said. The Scientific Advisor also felt that India needs a material policy.

“We need to identify what are our material requirements for the next 100 years and then plan accordingly. We have to identify all our natural reserves and find out how we can able use them in defence research and also identify and amount reserves that have to be imported from other countries. The U.S. and China have already done it, but we are still lagging behind,” Dr. Sateesh Reddy felt.

The Chairman and Chief Executive, NFC, N Saibaba, said the complex has seen a record production of nuclear fuel. “Thanks to our innovation, we have managed to produce 1,252 metric tonnes of nuclear fuel, which is the largest in the world. We only had the capacity to produce just 850 metric tonnes. We are prepared to meet any kind of demands in the near future in the defence sector,” Dr. Saibaba said.

Defence Production Units

The maintenance of machines, plants and equipment in Defence Public Sector Undertakings and Ordnance Factories is carried out periodically with emphasis on preventive maintenance. Machines which are “beyond economic repair” are evaluated for replacement. Replacement of “beyond economic repair” plant and machinery is an on-going process.

Machines, plants and equipment are examined to identify such assets which are not techno-economically viable. The machines, plants and equipment, if found Beyond Economical Repair (BER), redundant and unfit for further usage, are disposed of as per laid down procedure. Critical machines are covered under Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) to reduce downtime in rectification.

In Ordnance Factories, monitoring of maintenance of equipment, machines and plants lying out of order is done through review meetings.

This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply to Shri Chandrakant Khaire and Smt Sakuntala Laguri in Lok Sabha today.

Robotics / Artificial Intelligence

Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), Bengaluru and Research and Development Establishment (Engineers) {R&DE(E)}, Pune are prime laboratories of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) working in the area of artificial intelligence and robotics. Miniature Unmanned Ground Vehicle (MINIUGV), RoboSentry and Autonomous Guided Vehicle have already been developed by DRDO and recently a project has been taken for development of Multi Agent Robotics System (MARS). DRDO has also planned to undertake projects for development of robotic products and technologies associated with robotics and technologies associated with robotics and artificial intelligence. In this regard, a national challenge has been initiated to tap talent in robotics and artificial intelligence among students, academia and entrepreneurs / industry in the areas of robotics related to defence.

DRDO has not been giving fellowships / grants to entrepreneurs in the area of robotics and artificial intelligence. However, DRDO has signed a number of Contract Agreements for Research Services (CARS) projects with academia for developing technologies related to robotics and artificial intelligence.

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar in a written reply to Shri Baijayant Jay Panda in Lok Sabha today.

I don't know wether our ancestors used to make spaceships or laser weapon or not but they definatly had better medical knowledge in 6th Century BC then the doctors in your country in 21st century A.D...if you don't believe me then google SHUSRUTA SAMHITA....
