Indian Army

The history of the Indian Army is filled with real heroism and valor. It can be traced back to the ancient periods in India. The History of the Indian Army shows that Indians never understood the science of warfare recently and their fighting traditions are not merely 200 years old. There are many instances of large scale operations undertaken in ancient times backed by a definite military science based on brilliant strategy and tactics. During the ancient period, when Dharma played a dominating role in the daily routine of a person, Warfare had to be undertaken frequently. The epitome of Dharm Yuddh can be found in the two Indian epics namely the Ramayan and the Mahabharat. No means were used and the dignity of man as a warrior was maintained always. History of the Indian Army mentions that in ancient India the organization of the army altered with changing dynasties. The Indian National Army (INA) or the Azad Hind Fauj is the independent Indian Army found by Netaji Subhas Chan

The army provides our soldier ’s benefits because the soldier s serve and sometimes soldier s martyr in protecting motherland.

  India decided to go to space when Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was set up by the Government of India in 1962. With the visionary Dr Vikram Sarabhai at its helm, INCOSPAR set up the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thiruvananthapuram for upper atmospheric research. Indian Space Research Organisation , formed in 1969, superseded the erstwhile INCOSPAR. Vikram Sarabhai, having identified the role and importance of space technology in a Nation's development, provided ISRO the necessary direction to function as an agent of development. ISRO then embarked on its mission to provide the Nation space based services and to develop the technologies to achieve the same independently. Throughout the years, ISRO has upheld its mission of bringing space to the service of the common man, to the service of the Nation . In the process, it has become one of the six largest space agencies in the world. ISRO maintains one of the largest fleet of

The NAMICA carries a total of twelve missiles, with eight in ready-to-fire mode and four in storage. It has a compact auxiliary power unit (APU) for silent watch operation, a fire detection and suppression system (FDSS) and nuclear, biological, and chemical protection system (NBCPS). The carrier weights 14.5 tonnes in full combat load and is capable of moving 7 km/h in water. The carrier was put through transportation trials, covering 155 km during 2008 summer trials. It has various modes o

  Bhuvan , is an Indian web based utility which allows users to explore a set of map based content prepared by Indian Space Research Organisation( ISRO ). The content which the utility serves is mostly restricted to Indian boundaries and is offered in 4 regional languages. The content includes thematic maps related to disasters, agriculture, water resources, land cover and also processed satellite data of ISRO. Bhuvan is known for its association with various sections of Government of India to enable the use of Geospatial technology. Bhuvan has since its inception enabled Indian government to host public geospatial data as Information layers for visualisation and public consumption. Examples of the types of geospatial layers include Toll Information System for National Highways Authority of India , Islands information System for MHA, Cultural heritage sites for Ministry of culture etc. The information for the platform is obtained from the government of India sources or through Cr

  Sagarika , also known by the code names K-15 or B-05, is an Indian submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) with a range of 750 kilometres (466 mi) that was designed for retaliatory nuclear strikes. It belongs to the K Missile family and forms a part of India 's nuclear triad. The K-15 is a two-stage submarine-launched ballistic missile which uses a gas booster to eject out of its launch platform and rise up to the surface of water. A solid rocket motor is fired after the missile reaches a fixed altitude. The missile has a range of around 750 kilometres (466 mi) and reaches a maximum altitude of 5 kilometres (3 mi) during its flight . Development Development of the K-15 missile started in the late 1990s with the goal of building a submarine-launched ballistic missile for use with the Indian Navy nuclear-powered  Arihant-Class submarines. It was developed at the Defence Research and Development Organisation’s ( DRDO ) missile complex in Hyderabad. The development of the un

The Maitri missile project is a next-generation quick-reaction surface-to-air missile ( QRSAM ) with a lethal near-hundred per cent kill probability (according to manufacturer's claim) under development by India 's Defence Research and Development Organisation( DRDO ). It is a short-range (strike range varies from 25–30 km) surface-to-air defense missile system. The Maitri missile should not be confused with the similar Indian Army Low-Level Quick Reaction Missile system (LLQRM) requirement. The missile will fill the gap created by the Indian government's decision to wind up development of the Trishul point defense missile system. It is believed to be a blend of the French Mica and DRDO Trishul. Maitri will build on the work done by DRDO while developing the Trishul missile, using technology transfer from MBDA to fill the technological gaps that led to the failure of the Trishul project. On 15 July 2009, The Telegraph reported that the project was scrapped. But later,

The Surya missile is an intercontinental ballistic missile speculated to be in development by India. According to a 1995 report published in The Nonproliferation Review, Surya (meaning the Sun in Sanskrit and many Indian languages) is the codename for one of the Intercontinental ballistic missiles that India is reported to be developing, for which there is no formal statement from India. The DRDO is believed to have begun the project in 1994. This report has not been confirmed by any other sources until 2010. According to the report, the Surya is an intercontinental-range, surface-based, solid and liquid propellant ballistic missile . The report further adds that Surya is the most ambitious project in India's Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. The surya missile is more of strategic in nature due to its capabilities and thus gives enemy mutually assured destruction. The Surya is speculated to have a range of more than 12,000, which brings almost all major nations
