IAF goes full throttle to turn into an 'aerospace power'

印度空军欲更名，致力于成为“航空航天军”

NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force has gone full throttle to rename itself as the Indian Air and Space Force (IASF) as part of its ongoing overall drive to transform from "a potent air-power" to "a credible aerospace power" in the years ahead.

新德里：为了在未来几年从“强大的空军”转变为“可靠的航空航天部队”，印度空军致力于全速将自己更名为印度航空航天部队（IASF）。

After formulating a new doctrine that focuses on effective exploitation of the "air and space continuum" and a "Space Vision 2047", IAFhas now explained to the government in detail the rationale of being renamed as IASF.

在制定了以有效利用“空中和太空”为重点的新原则和“2047年太空愿景”之后，印度空军现在向政府详细解释了更名为IASF的理由。

"We expect the proposal to be cleared soon," a source told TOI.

一位消息人士对《印度时报》表示：“我们预计该提案将很快获得批准。”

Concomitantly, IAF has cranked up efforts to fully exploit the final frontier of space rather than restricting it to the exsting ISR (intelligence, surveilla-nce and reconnaissance), communication and navigation capabilities.

与此同时，印度空军已经加大努力，充分利用太空的最后边界，而不是将其局限于现有的ISR(情报、监视和侦察)、通信和导航能力。

IAF is collaborating with Isro, DRDO, IN-Space (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre) and the private industry to develop niche space-related technologies in a major way now.

印度空军正在与Isro、DRDO、in -Space(印度国家空间促进和授权中心)以及私营企业合作，大力开发与太空相关的利基技术。

"Work is underway in areas like PNT (positioning, navigation and timing), advanced ISR and communications, space weather prediction, space situati-onal awareness, space traffic management and the like," he said.

他说：“在PNT(定位、导航和授时)、先进ISR和通信、空间天气预报、空间态势感知、空间交通管理等领域的工作正在进行中。”

IAF, in fact, is looking at India having over 100 big and small military satellites with the help of the private sector in the next seven to eight years, while the tri-Service Defence Space Agency set up in 2019 also evolves into a full-fledged Space Command.

事实上，印度空军希望在未来七到八年内，在私营部门的帮助下，让印度拥有100多颗大小军用卫星，而2019年成立的三军种国防航天局也将成为一个成熟的太空司令部。

We can witness Indian defense transformation from no technological advancement in defense during 'Puppet show' government, to achieving these great mile stones under Modi. great going, Modiji..we have to build and make India strong in every fabric.

我们见证了印度国防从“傀儡”政府时期的毫无技术进步，到莫迪领导下的这些伟大里程碑。干得好，莫迪，我们必须让印度在各个方面都变得强大。

Only because of MODI. Keep out khangress. Har har Mahadev

都是莫迪的功劳，不要给国大党机会。

Possible, if Scamgress is away from central Govt at this time span.

如果在这段时间让国大党远离权利中心，那是有可能实现的。

Great news…… It goes with India’s military and space capbilities.

好消息。这能提升印度的军事和太空能力。

I think IAF is a excellent name which should not be renamed under political influence to maje big.,I am sure Modiji had provided wings to our army no doubt but renaming and naming feel it is a election stunt more than what it is needed currently for the army.,

我认为印度空军是一个很好的名字，不应该改名。我确信莫迪无疑为我们的军队提供了翅膀，但重命名让人觉得这是一种选举噱头，而不是军队目前所需要的。

On the ground defense (without going to space) I suggest the following very potential weapon systems. develop very high-power laser beam capable of cutting any missile into pieces in no time if pointed with an accurate Radar. Missile cannot travel faster than laser. Such systems can probably be developed in cooperation with advanced friendly countries. The laser system can be mounted on tanks, planes and on mountains. (2) Develop rail gun systems that can shoot hard (titanium alloy) projectiles to mach 6 speed. That is also strong enough to destroy any incoming missiles. These can be powered with a new electrical power generation technology that converts ambient thermal energy to electrical power in a compact system and 24x7.

关于地面防御，我建议研发以下非常有潜力的武器系统。1.研发非常高功率的激光束，如果有精确的雷达指向，能够在短时间内将任何导弹切割成碎片。导弹的速度无法超过激光。这种系统也许可以与先进友好国家合作开发。激光系统可以安装在坦克、飞机和山上。

2. 研发能够以6马赫速度射击硬质(钛合金)弹丸的轨道炮系统。这也足以摧毁任何来袭的导弹。这些可以用一种新的发电技术来供电，这种技术可以在一个紧凑的系统中将环境热能转换为电能，并且全天候运行。

Because of Congress we never progressed with a vision and we lost precious 70 years after Independence. Imagine what if Sardar was our first PM?

因为国大党，我们从未有进步，我们失去了独立后宝贵的70年。想象一下，如果萨达尔是我们的第一任总理会怎样?

Something is changed 360 degree in last few years.Forces around the world are media shy they never talk abt their capabilities which is only shown with success agnst adversary when country needs it.

在过去的几年里，有些事情发生了变化。世界各地的军队都羞于见媒体，他们从不谈论自己的能力，只有在国家需要的时候，需要对抗对手的时候才展示出来。

If Pappu and team comes to power this will take a nosedive. Be ready for 62 kind of debacle which his 'not so great' great gradfather did. Mohabbat kee dukaan with access to land and space

如果拉胡尔和他的团队掌权，国家将面临崩溃。准备好迎接他的“不那么伟大”的曾祖父在1962年所造成的那种崩溃吧。

Thank God you didn't say Pakistan.

谢天谢地，你没提巴基斯坦。

The power of Modi seen when Indian flight collapsed in Pakisthan our brave Abhinandan caught by paki army and beaten by them. Don't exaggerated. Our Defense under Modi is weaker than the past govt. Don't politicise Defense with BJP.

当印度战机在巴基斯坦坠毁时，我们勇敢的阿比纳丹被巴基斯坦军队抓住并殴打，莫迪的力量不过如此，不要夸大。在莫迪的领导下，国防比过去政府领导下弱，不要把国防政治化。

但那架所谓的战机是腐败的国大党购买的，而不是莫迪。

It's the present political dispensation which has given wings to our armed forces to act as and when required.

正是目前的政治体制赋予了我们的武装力量在需要时采取行动的权利。

US has done it. so India has to do it. space force.

美国已经做到了。所以印度必须这么做，建立太空部队。

For me there is NO need to RENAME, IAF can still do and must be doing and work as an Aerospace Power by collaborating with DRDO & ISRO then why change the name thereby draw unnecessary world attention to look at all this what exactly it all means.

在我看来，没有必要改名，印度空军可以成立太空部队，与印度国防研究与发展组织和印度空间研究组织合作，为什么要改名字，引起其他国家的过多关注，有什么意义？

Till they can stop bragging about shooting down F-16's when in fact it was Pakistan that shot down an over ambitious pilot of the IAF flying a remodeled Israeli avionics (substandard) inn his MiG-21, nothing will change.

在他们停止吹嘘击落F-16之前，什么都不会改变。事实上，是巴基斯坦击落了一名雄心勃勃的印度飞行员，他驾驶的是改装过的装配以色列航空电子设备(不合标准)的米格-21。
