Indian Ministry of Defense approves 23 ground, aerial and naval projects...
"The 14 projects under Make-I are: HGVs, DEW (electromagnetic and laser, >300 kW), Naval Shipborne Unmanned Aerial System (NSUAS), light tank, ‘self-healing mine fields’, unmanned autonomous AI-based land robot, 127 mm naval gun, 127 mm guided projectile, electric propulsion (engines) for ships, Standoff Airborne Jammer, Li-ion and Li-Sulphur cells, Communication Systems, Electro-Optical (EO) pod (with a subsequent upgrade to EO/IR) and ‘Plug and Play’ infrastructure for extreme altitudes.
Under Make-II, the following platforms have been listed: Anti-jamming systems, full-motion simulator for AH-64 Apaches and CH-47 Chinooks, wearable robotic equipment for aircraft maintenance, an integrated surveillance and targeting system for mechanised forces and Autonomous Combat Vehicle. High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) drones and the Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH) have been offered under SPV while low orbit pseudo satellites have been offered under iDEX.
Many of these platforms are already being developed by various means: DRDO and Larsen & Toubro are collaborating on a light tank based on the K-9 howitzer, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is developing IMRH and Rotary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (RUAV). Some other projects such as HGVs, DEW and electric propulsion for ships, if successful, will prove to be a major breakthrough for India, Adithya states."
