Defence Current Affairs 06 April 2026

Defence Indigenisation With EoI For 1,000-kg Aerial Bomb

  • The defence ministry has initiated the process for the indigenous design and development of a 1000-kg aerial bomb akin to Mk-84 for the IAF, aiming to boost India’s ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in the sector.
  • The project is structured in two phases. The first involves design and development of six prototypes (live and inert), including associated tail units and equipment, they said.
  • The second is the procurement phase, which will commence with the issuance of a commercial Request for Proposal (RFP) to the qualifying development agencies. The system is intended to be “compatible with both Russian and Western-origin aircraft” currently operated by the IAF.
  • The project will be executed under the ‘Make-II’ (industry-funded) sub-category, followed by procurement under the ‘Buy (Indian-IDDM)’ category.
  • IDDM stands for Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured.
  • The first phase of the project will be undertaken by the selected development agencies, and it includes single-stage composite trials (SSCT), after which preliminary staff qualitative requirements (PSQRs) will be converted into air staff qualitative requirements (ASQRs).
