#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.



L’unità combattente multiruolo #RaimondoMontecuccoli ha effettuato con successo il lancio di un Aster 30, testando il sistema di difesa aerea SAAM ESD (Surface-to-Air Anti-Missile – Extended Self Defence) delle nuove Unità Combattenti Multi Missione. Tecnologia avanzata e capacità operative al servizio della Difesa e della sicurezza dei mari. ⚓🌊






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.








#DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment is currently working towards certification of the GTX-35VS Kaveri in its 82 kN thrust class. Following certification of this baseline variant, discussions are underway to develop an upgraded Kaveri 2.0 with 85 kN+ thrust.: DR Ganesan, GTRE
