The DRDO's Combat
Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) has issued a Request For
Proposal (RFP) for strength testing of 1 ton main landing gear and nose landing
gear that has been developed for the 1 ton class SWIFT TUCAF Technology Demonstrator
during the strength testing.
Both the main landing gear and nose landing gear will be tested in minimum as well as ultimate load conditions.
The SWIFT had concluded its low and high-speed taxi trials last year and the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) plans to validate the dry Kaveri engine in the next three years based on the conclusion of the SWIFT program.
The DRDO will start work on a full-scale prototype of the AURA Autonomous Stealthy Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle that will be ready for flight trials by 2026.
