Developed by the Defence Electronics Applications Laboratory (DEAL), Dehradun, CTCS is a C-band man-portable troposcatter communication system meant to establish beyond-line-of-sight links between tactical locations, user stations and remote posts, especially in areas where the civil communications grid is absent.
The visit will provide an opportunity to review the ongoing defence cooperation initiatives and identify new avenues for collaboration between the defence industries of both countries. Shri Rajnath Singh is also expected to interact with key representatives of the German defence industry, with a view to promoting joint development and co-production under the Make-in-India initiative.
ISRO’s 2040 Moon goal fits squarely within the Government of India’s formal space roadmap. In September 2024, the Union Cabinet approved the first phase of the Bharatiya Antariksh Station, with the first module targeted for 2028 and the full station targeted for 2035; the same decision explicitly linked these steps to a crewed Indian lunar mission by 2040.
PIB says that with this phase, the total number of houses delivered to Tamil communities will reach 50,000, while 10,000 more are under construction in the fourth phase.
Suzuki’s own investor material frames the effort as a way to promote low-cost, locally produced, locally consumable carbon-neutral fuel while creating jobs, additional income through dung procurement, improved energy self-sufficiency and wider use of organic fertiliser.
The agreement, signed in Moscow on February 18, 2025 and ratified by Russia in December 2025, lays down the procedures for the movement and support of military personnel, warships and military aircraft in each other’s territory. Under its standard limits, either side may have up to five military ships, ten military aircraft and 3,000 military personnel present simultaneously in the other country’s territory or airspace, unless both governments decide otherwise.
Jointly designed by DRDO and Tata Advanced Systems, the platform was conceived around three linked ideas that now define modern wheeled combat vehicles worldwide: modularity, scalability and re-configurability.
The significance of the study goes well beyond a niche galactic puzzle. Supermassive black holes are commonly observed in large galaxies, but dwarf spheroidal galaxies are faint, poor in gas, and heavily dominated by dark matter, making any central black hole extremely hard to detect directly.
Technically, ACADA is built around ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), a well-established detection method used for trace chemical sensing. DRDO’s own description says the system uses a twin-tube IMS arrangement with two highly sensitive IMS cells, allowing continuous detection and simultaneous monitoring.
Shukla’s work has received a Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant from the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, a competitive programme under which researchers can receive support of up to Rs 60 lakh plus overheads for three years. IIIT Hyderabad said he was selected among roughly 700 researchers from more than 6,000 proposals, giving the project both national visibility and a funding path for early-stage development.
