be held in Bengaluru, India at the Yelahanka Air Force Station. Depending on
the Low Speed and High-Speed Taxi Trials in the earlier part of 2023, HAL will
decide if the first flight can be concluded before the end of 2023. HAL plans
to complete developmental trials of the 17.5 tons Tejas aircraft by 2027 to 28
and enter into production the following year.
Tejas Mk2 is a Mirage-2000 Class fighter jet that HAL along
with ADA of DRDO is developing for the Indian Air Force (IAF) that will be
powered by a Single 98-kN thrust class GE supplied F-414 engine. IAF is looking

Taiwan starts work on SSK, What’s your excuse Indian Navy?
Taiwan’s Navy recently hosted the keel laying ceremony for
its Indigenous Defense Submarine to mark the completion of its first
construction phase. Vessels in question are estimated to be in the 2,500 tons
class and 70 metre in length.
On the other hand Indian Navy is all set to induct 4th
Kalvari class submarine that has been license built locally in India and is
still keen to press for another foreign submarine under Project 75I where again
it seeks to procure 6 more next generation diesel electric submarines locally
but continues to insist that local technology is not ready for development of
fully indigenous diesel electric submarine yet.
Indian Navy has worked on two different classes of nuclear powered
ballistic submarines programs and is actively involved in the development of
the new class of nuclear attack submarines, this experience should have enough
to develop an indigenous diesel electric submarine based on the Transfer of
Technology that has taken place for the Kalavari Class submarines.
DRDO already has demonstrated its Fuel Cell based Air
Independent Propulsion System but due to the non-availability of the submarine
to install and to be demonstrated the technological developmental cycle remains
uncompleted.

PM to Handover DRDO Designed Advanced Electronic Warfare Suit
‘Shakti’ for Indian Naval Ships
Advanced Electronic Warfare System ‘Shakti’ has been designed
and developed by Defence Electronics Research Laboratory Hyderabad for Warships
of the Indian Navy for the interception, detection, classification,
identification and jamming of conventional and modern Radars. The Shakti EW
system will provide an electronic layer of defence against modern radars and
anti-ship missiles to ensure electronic dominance and survivability in the
maritime battlefield. This system will replace the earlier generation EW
Systems of the Indian Navy.
The system has been integrated with the wide band Electronic
Support Measures and Electronic Counter Measure for the defence of Indian Navy
Ships against missile attacks. The ESM of the system helps in finding accurate
direction and interception of modern radars. The system has a built-in radar
fingerprinting and data recording replay feature for post mission analysis.
