1. ISRO's GSLV-Mk.III will carry a 4000 kg payload into GTO. A completely new launch vehicle, it will take several more years to develop.


2. If this was supposed to be some sort of consolation by America for not bringing F-16s to the show, no one is impressed. By day two, this inflatable was almost blown away to oblivion by the breeze.

3. An Astra BVRAAM scale model which doesn't quite resemble the ones on the PV-2 mockup and models of Akash SAM. The Akash has had more than 70 flight tests.

4. Cutaway of the Akash SAM. The missile is guided by the Rajendra battery level radar, with up to four targets being engaged simultaneously with a maximum of 3 missiles each. The Rajendra employs 4000 ferrite phase-shifters in it's antenna array and has also given rise to the spin-off Weapon Locating Radar (WLR) which outperforms the smaller Raytheon AN/TPQ-36. The latter detects Artillery/MBRLs at 18/24 km while the WLR can detect the same at 30/40 km.

5. Realisim technologies are a private firm based in Bangalore. Their HJT-16 Kiran flight simulator, seems quite advanced.
