@DefenceDecode @BLACKTIGER0412 Sir somebody was asking if it do es moving target identification on Ground some thing of that sort. ISAR capability of some sort of and relatively " Air to Sea" modes are also validated on Uttam AESA?

Uttam #AESAR has been extensively flight-tested on two specific LCA-LSP aircraft: LSP-2 and LSP-3. It has completed flight testing, including A2A and A2G modes. ▪️Completed over 150 flight tests on Tejas Mk1 prototypes as of Dec. 2025. ▪️Reports suggest it may outperform the ELM-2052 by apprx 25% in overall tracking and detection efficiency. ▪️#CEMILAC confirmed it had finished 4 critical stages of flight trials and hardware qualification ▪️Radar is roughly 95% indigenous by content.

India is also working on an Optical atomic clock with accuracy of 10^(-19), project expected to be competed by 2032.

Defence Decode®@DefenceDecode

#DRDO is working on a highly precise, ultra-small atomic clock employing coherent population trapping for navigation in GNSS-denied regions. It is the most accurate timekeeping device known, using the vibrations of atoms (usually cesium-133 or rubidium) as its timekeeping element instead of mechanical parts or electronic oscillators. Atoms vibrate at extremely consistent frequencies...i.e. a cesium-133 atom oscillates exactly 9,192,631,770 times per second. #AtomicClocks measure this oscillation using a microwave signal tuned to match the atom's natural frequency. This is used to define the second in the International System of Units.

Ground-based high-altitude testing facility usually comprise of 4 main functional sections. 1. Air Supply System Processes ambient air to simulate altitude & speed conditions. • Intake tower (air capture) • Expansion turbine + heater (pressure/temperature control) • Gas station & cooler (fuel+thermal regulation) • Mixers (fine-tune flow properties) 2. Flight Environment Simulation Core test section. • Test chamber (engine under test) • Precision heating/cooling system • Cooling tower & pumps (heat management) 3. Air Extraction System Maintains flow & low-pressure conditions. • Exhaust tower • Compressors & valves (vacuum generation) 4. Data Acquisition & Control Real-time monitoring & safety. • Sensors+control systems • Performance data recording

@DefenceDecode its like how we say agni v has a 5000 km range, but thats with a huge 4.5 ton payload 😅 in reality even agni 3 can hit burgerland

2000 km figure was always a political cap rather than a technical limit. Khorramshahr is a direct derivative of the DPRK Hwasong-10 (aka soviet R-27SLBM), it was designed from the jump to hit targets b/w 3,000-4000 km with min playloads, the hardware was always built for IRBM role.

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia). Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe.

Is this the first official confirmation of Kaveri engine getting over 80KN wet thrust line?
