The production facility for manufacturing Man-Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (MP-ATGM) was inaugurated by at Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) unit at Bhanur here on Saturday by Chairman of Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) G. Satheesh Reddy.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Reddy, who is also the Secretary of the Department of Defence Research & Development & Chairman, explained about various missile programmes on the anvil.

MPATGM is a third generation Man-Portable Anti-Tank Missile to be used by Infantry and Parachute battalions of the Indian Army developed by State-owned DRDO in partnership with Private sector company VEM Technologies Ltd which is helping in sub-system manufacturing for the DRDO.

DRDO successfully flight tested the indigenously developed third generation anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), Nag, twice last year on September 8 against two different targets in the ranges of Rajasthan. A similar test in the month of June earlier with the launcher system Nag Missile Carrier (NAMICA) had convinced DRDO of its efficacy.

The Nag is meant to eventually replace foeign-made missiles to become the Indian military’s first and primary anti-tank weapon.

Nag is a fire-and-forget ATGM with ‘top attack’ capabilities and a range of about four kilometres while NAMICA is an Indian license-produced variant of the Soviet-era BMP-II armoured infantry fighting vehicle which can carry eight of such missiles for Anti armour purpose, namica is the initial version of nag program. for Army use, here namica uses IIR seekers to identify and lock the Target, The IIR is a Imagining Infrared Seeker, which can choose and lock the Target before Launching, which means some third party chooses the Target and feed it to the Nag and Nag take care of the Target on it’s own, something like same Fire and forget mode.

Long association

Referring to his long association with Bharat Dynamics Ltd he wished a very bright future for the company and stated that it has a highly dedicated workforce. He stated that MP-ATGMs would be supplied to the Indian Army.

Later, Chairman and Managing Director of BDL V. Udaya Bhaskar and BDL Officers Association, recognised unions and other associations felicitated Dr. Satheesh Reddy, according to an official press release.

The Oryx Handbook of Iranian Drones

The goal of this list is to comprehensively catalogue Iran's past and current inventory of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their armament. In an effort to streamline the list and avoid unnecessary confusion, this list only includes military drones associated with Iran's defence industry or military-grade UAVs with at least some chance of entering service. Notes:  - If several configurations of a drone with one designation are known, they are added as such.  - The part within the apostrophes refers to other designations or an unofficial designation. -  UAVs that did not enter service or have yet to enter service have been placed in the prototype category. - When a type is dual-capable, it is added in both respective categories. - Dubious claims are referred to as ''claimed to be capable''. - Although several types of Iranian UAVs have been sighted in Syria and Iraq, the foreign service section of this handbook only includes those confirmed to be in s

This Equation Shows You Can't Quantify Everything

Image
Yeah, I used a clickbaity headline. So sue me. Recently I went on an extensive rant about the fundamental assumptions of science. One of them, I said, was that things have to be measurable. And that's basically true, I think... but there are interesting subtleties. You might well be familiar with the weirdness of the quantum realms, as in the double-slit experiment where "particles" can apparently be in two places at once. What you might be less aware of is that much, much larger things can be just as hard to measure. You really don't need carefully controlled laboratory conditions to see how bizarre reality can get. Measuring some things is hard... In astronomy, if you're hunting for galaxies in a new data set, you have to try and estimate these things called completeness and reliability . They're quite simple concepts but they have very strict meanings - thankfully, for once, quite intuitive ones. Consider a naturalist trying to identify some meerk
