Yep, the french!

laser target, scope with light.
seems a pretty nice attachment!

an intelligence officer once told me that "Never to question how the intelligence world works as it is beyond your imagination"

if you could spare about RM50billion annually for R&D then we will see the result fast enough!

I don't think people will be happy if that happened.


haha RM50b is just a figure of speech

Malaysia have a very R&D in defense and military, from government agencies and private sector, we do have the enough man power with knowledge to do so.
The good example is during the DSA, there are many local company with good proposal and prototype items but unable to carry on due to lack of money and investment.
I know some project that have been held back numerous of time just because the grant is revoked due to financial constraint.
Plus, the government itself prefer foreign item also did not contribute to local industry.

That's why I'm bold enough to say that money is the main factor, and the government should consider to put extra effort in this area.
we don't really need to sell our item, but just enough to be self sufficient!


I not just about the crony!

hahaha apparently I miss type "In b4 not just about the crony!" as "I not just about the crony!"
I believe all the R&D are closely linked to the government as they are the ones that granted the research grant.

I agree on what you said on building and nurturing the local talent .
but as you can see in Malaysia only some of the local public university other then Stride of the UPNM and that have a participation in R&D
while the private sector are made of the large established GLC company like the Bousted, DRB and etc are the ones that gets highlighted.

Local company like the Metro Koats Technology have a very good product that could be used by ATM, instead the company is almost unheard off to most Malaysian even though their product do received recognition on camouflage technology.

A friend of mine, able to develop a USV from cheaper fiberglass materiel with patented design for smooth high speed turning but there is no interest from the Navy!
The boat name is Jampiras USV"

them seems to be struggling to market their product in Malaysia.

Malaysia do develop training dumb bomb for training purposes,
the Stride is still on the final (I believe on final phase) phase with the Taming Sari (Self Propelled Munition)
While CTRM are more in the UAV development industry.

but like I said, local product are very seldom caught the eye of the procurement team of the government.
For example the DRB Deftech AV4 4x4 can still be used as field ambulance or at least by the TD in the country, but they do not have the interest on it.
Maybe there are other factor involved that slash out the AV4, but there are room for improvement.

The AV8 project probably the largest Malaysian R&D project with the Turkish side, a sum of RM8billion is awarded to DRB for the development of the product from the center, development facilities, test track and etc.
And I believe it is a good start.

Yes, lets hope for the best!
btw if your company do comeback, save some jobs for me!

AV4 have a lots of issues, that's why it remains as prototype
the design can be improved and the AV4 could be the project can be propelled in order to get better result!
R&D is not a very complicated process and time consuming, but to have a platform to work on is a good start!

the time line of AV4 and AV8 is quite far
I believe that AV8 and AV4 have a very different role, AV4 is much more suited for normal patrol where the AV8 for much more serious business!

No, won't be in LIMA this year
I'm in my final semester, and quite busy with the final project only some of MYMIL forumer will be in Langkawi covering for LIMA!
But I'm looking forward for next year Defense Security Agreement or DSA2014 in PWTC!
hopefully maybe we can meet there!

ps: your company have a quite interesting sensors!!
