The technology used in the test is the next frontier in aircraft propulsion. India has successfully launched the first test flight of its Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) from Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha. The missile is part of India 's efforts to develop a scramjet engine, which is considered the next frontier for future missile, aircraft, and spacecraft technology. The test flight of the HSTDV was conducted by the Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO ), which has been developing the scramjet engine.  "The missile was successfully launched at 1127 Hours. Various radars, telemetry stations, and electro-optical tracking sensors tracked the vehicle through its course. The data has been collected and will be analyzed to validate the critical technologies," read a statement from the government . The statement however did not reveal details about the configuration in which the vehicle was tested. It also did not state if the aircraft d

No Mask No Entry | Rajasthan | Corona

The rush of people seeking services at Nagar Bhaban begins before 10 in the morning. People throng there for different purposes ranging from issuing trade licenses to attending case hearings. All of them, apparently, share a common tendency - a reluctance to wear a face mask despite the looming fear of the second infection wave of the novel coronavirus. And the authorities also turn a blind eye to this as no one at the entrance of the city corporation office forces people to comply with the virus safety measure. The government , on 3 November, issued a circular to strictly implement the " No mask, no entry " order, after failing to implement the previously announced " No Mask, No Service " instruction. The Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) office entrance on Sunday did not have a " No Mask, No Entry " sign even the security guards inside were roaming around without face coverings as if the pandemic was over. Businessman Shariful Islam was entering t

Is Bihar really developing? This is the question that arises every time we see the developing graph of India . Kerala has the highest Human Development Index with 0.779 scores in 2018, and Bihar got the lowest rank with 0.576 scores being at the bottom.  Leave those records, let's talk about this year. Elections held this month. One side was " Mahagathabandhan " of several political parties including  Rashtriya  Janata Dal( RJD ),  Indian National Congress ,  Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation,  Communist Party of India ,  Communist Party of India (Marxist).  And other side describing the bond between  Bharatiya Janata Party( B JP )  and  Janata Dal (United ) ( JDU). And the result w as  as expected "BJP  and JDU" wins the election in Bih ar. JDU h as "ruled" Bih ar for more th an 15 ye ars. But w as is the re al output, the re al result . Using 1Crore rupees out of 100Crore to show th at they  are working  and  are with the p

Worlds Biggest Trade Pact | India Rejects the Pact | Only Country to Deny

Image
Fifteen countries have formed the world's largest trading bloc , covering nearly a third of the global economy . The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership ( RCEP ) is made up of 10 Southeast Asian countries, as well as South Korea, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The pact is seen as an extension of China's influence in the region. The deal excludes the US, which withdrew from a rival Asia-Pacific trade pact in 2017. President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) shortly after taking office. Negotiations over the new RCEP deal began in 2012 and it was finally signed on Sunday on the sidelines of a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations . Why is it important? The RCEP isn't as comprehensive and doesn't cut tariffs as deeply as the TPP's successor. But many analysts think RCEP's sheer size makes it more significant. "Its membership includes a larger group of nations, notably reflecting the mem

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas | Indian School for Rural areas | Government School

The National Policy on Education-1986 envisaged setting up of residential schools, to be called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya s that would bring out the best of rural talent. It was felt that children with special talent or aptitude should be provided opportunities to progress at a faster pace by making good quality education available to them irrespective of their capacity to pay for it. Such education would enable students from rural areas to compete with their urban counterparts on an equal footing. The Navodaya Vidyalaya System which began as a unique experiment is today unparalleled in the annals of school education in India and elsewhere. Its significance lies in the selection of talented rural children as the target group and the attempt to provide them quality education comparable to the best in a residential school system. To establish, endow, maintain, control, and manage schools(hereinafter called the ' Navodaya Vidyalaya ') and to do all acts and things necessary for

Rohini is operating in S-Band ground-based 3D medium-range air surveillance radar providing detection and tracking air targets even under hostile EW operational environment. The radar scans the air space 360° in azimuth and 30° in elevation up to 18 km height. Rohini uses a passive phased-array antenna providing seven stacked pencil beams to discern the height of the target accurately. It consists of 32 rows of each 48 radiating elements distributed in four segments. On top of the primary radar antenna, there is a Mode-S compatible IFF antenna. Rohini is one of three derivates of the licensed Polish TRS-19 radar. The common name for all three derivates is 3D Central Acquisition Radar ( 3D-CAR ): Rohini – air surveillance radar for the Indian Air Force Revathi – is a 3D medium-range air and surface surveillance radar installed on Indian naval ships Tactical Control Radar (TCR) – a descendant of Rohini, is built to suit the Indian Army 's requirements.

Swathi Weapon Locating Radar | Indian Army | Indian Air Force | Indian Armored Core | Indian Defence Forces

Image
The Weapon Locating Radar (WLR) also known as Swathi is a mobile artillery-locating phased array radar developed by India . This counter-battery radar is designed to detect and track incoming artillery and rocket fire to determine the point of origin for counter-battery fire. The Indian army projected a requirement for fire-finding radars in the 1980s. As early as 1989, the Indian Army evaluated the American AN/TPQ-36 and AN/TPQ-37 Firefinder radars. However, these radars were not allowed to be sold, and the procurement process was stopped by the Indian Government. In February 1995, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to five companies for procurement of 4 WLRs. Only Hughes (now Raytheon) responded to the RFP. After trials, the radar was found to not meet the General Staff Quality Requirements (GSQRs) of the Indian Army , which were found to be too stringent, and the GSQRs were then relaxed. At the same time, it was decided to consider the development of an indigenous WLR by Ind
