Book
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 203 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. Historical narration of technological achievements is more an exception than the rule in India. The narration in respect of rocket development in the country generally follows this trend with a few notable exceptions covering the developments in the Indian Space Programme. The development of defence rockets has hardly been touched upon. Propulsion forms a major subsystem of the space launch vehicles and missiles, and today, India boasts of a significant capability and capacity in this discipline. The solid propellant rocket technology in India is essentially home-grown and has found wide application and adaptation in sounding rockets, launch vehicles, and ballistic missiles. While the requirements of solid propellant rockets for the space programme have reached a maturation phase, the requirements of solid propellant rockets for missile applications are diverse in their characteristics, and performance needs continue on a demand and development trajectory. This book highlights the development of solid propellant rockets and the main solid rocket subsystems used in the space programme and ballistic missiles with emphasis on the indigenous nature of development.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 226 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. A lot of literature on the conventional lasers like solid state lasers, gas lasers, and semiconductor lasers is available. However, this monograph is an effort on unconventional lasers. In this monograph, nearly all types of unconventional lasers including x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), GaSb-based type-I diode lasers, photonic crystal-based lasers, phase conjugated lasers, quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), and diode pumped fiber lasers, have been covered. All these types of lasers are having many useful applications in various fields like industry, surgery, biology, and novel imaging techniques, apart from their usage in practical research applications in most of the scientific and engineering topics. In the field of medicine, these lasers are applied on several areas, including dermatology, in which they are used to skin tone more even. The phase conjugated lasers are very useful for certain applications like nullifying the optical distortion and also achieving some novel characteristics of the lasers. The fiber laser along with the Raman converter module is capable of the efficient spectral conversion of its unique combined ultra-short radiation pulses into longer-wavelength spectral domain of 1150 to 1550 nm. Tourmaline Ytterbius-1100 has many applications like time-resolved spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, micro- and nano-photonics, supercontinuum generation, fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy, and optical DNA sensing technology. The unconventional lasers based on photonic crystals are very useful for certain applications like data storage, biomedical applications, and display technologies. GaSb-based type-I diode lasers operating in the optical spectral region ≥ 3µm are very useful for a variety of applications including trace gas sensing, free-space optical communications, and infrared countermeasures. Higher powers from femtosecond fiber lasers have become very useful for a variety of applications including laser processing, medical bio-optics, and opto-electronics The Random lasers have also been drawing the attention of various researchers because of their unique theory, fabrication, and properties. It has important applications in the systems requiring high image quality, e.g., airport security. Raman lasers, spin lasers, and ultrafast mid-IR lasers are also useful in research and other upcoming fields. The amazingly high intensities of XFLEs have led to their great application in the highly specialised areas of scientific research. This monograph provides useful information on these topics, especially from the research point of view. This monograph provides the technical analysis of the theoretical aspects of lasers along with the modeling and designing considerations for maximising the efficiency of these lasers. Along with these some related experimental results available in the literature have been presented to make the presentation clear and meaningful.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 165 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. This monograph is intended to familiarize a reader with the relevant factors and technologies that lead to the development of a night vision system based on image intensification in the visible and the near infrared regions of the elector-magnetic spectrum. The first four chapters discuss the human and external limitations due to restrictions of human observation by the environment and night illumination conditions, besides its ability for search and acquisition. The next set of chapters is devoted to optical, material and electro-optical technologies that resulted in the image intensifier tubes for their use in the night vision systems. Finally, the monograph concludes with a chapter bringing out the range and performance limitations and requirements with illustrations of some of the state-of-the-art instrument systems.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 338 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. Modern aircrafts operate on high efficiency gas turbine engines. making the turbine engine components such as blades and vanes, which operate at high temperatures under very demanding conditions, is more of an art, restricted only to a few advanced technology companies in the world. Investment Casting process technology forms the backbone of producing such components on an industrial scale. This technology demands expertise in a variety of engineering fields, from superalloy metallurgy and high temperature ceramics to complex tool design and fabrication, surface coatings, testing and quality control, etc. This monograph attempts to provide a comprehensive description of this highly specialised technology developed indigenously in Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), through the research efforts of numerous scientists over a period of three decades. An exposition of the principles underlying various processes for casting a variety of gas turbine engine parts, with equiaxed, columnar grained, single crystal structure and integral bladed (blisk) castings, is also included for the benefit of interested students and researchers. The monograph also covers some of the innovations that led to the indigenous design and fabrication of major/critical tools and equipments, thus making the technologies developed comprehensive and helping achieve a high level of self-reliance.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 367 pp., bibliography, index. This publication fills a very important niche in the broad spectrum of activities between design/development and release to service of a military fighter aircraft. That niche involves expertise, knowledge, and ability to absorb and implement concepts/nuances of technologies adopted by the designers and certification authorities. The task is complex and demands a good grasp of the subject, considering the fact that a modern fighter aircraft encompasses a multitude of disciplines that have to be integrated into a system that will meet the requirements of safety and operational effectiveness. The role and responsibility of the certification authority are further exacerbated in the concurrent design and certification model adopted in India. The text is the outcome of decades of hands-on experience of the author in the design evaluation of the aircraft and its systems for safety and performance parameters, and in implementing the process of airworhtiness certification of a variety of fighter aircraft, engines, systems, software and hardware. It would be impossible to incorporate, into a publication of this nature, all the details of various aspects involved in airworthiness certification of a fighter aircraft. However, an attempt has been made to bring out the knowledge required in the design of individual disciplines, evaluation techniques to be adopted, and the interactive nature of the work. This text has been structured in such a fashion as to give the casual reader a glimpse of airworthiness certification activities, and to the practitioner, a detailed exposure to this complex subject.
