Ajit: The one that cannot be defeated as the myth goes :)
There seems to be a lot of encouragement behind the dudes at IITM creating the "Shakti" chip...during my conversation with my guide at IITB i learnt that there was a similar attempt to create a chip at IITB...take a bow creators of "Ajit" (seen here)...we were generally talking about the interface for the Navic chips as compared to the US GPS system when i asked why we weren't building drones with a light Linux interface using the Shakti chips where we'd need a barebones PWM, UART, I2C and SPI and maybe CAN interface... unfortunately this interface requirement was already shared with the "Ajit" guys and guess what...there was no response to the request even though the departments are still 50 meters away from each other to date...!!! Even today if ten Aero grads sit and just think of apps for drones with the guys from Elecs there is no end to the applications of drone tech that can take off...not that im being partial to IITB (as it was always my first love with embedded tech)...however i feel that there are so many apps in ISROs GIS that can be satisfied with a drone army...we can do this Linux thing with a super user access to the government while the user has a simple way-point interface...algorithms like those used for the credit card processing can process the flight plan in microseconds and authenticate the flight for the super user...the guys at Tata technologies could have spear headed the HP beast they bought from the US for this and ten other apps :)...but the beast is all packed in plastic these days...the fun part really starts with catching an unidentified stealth mode drone with no transmit of positioning whatsoever...but then who ever heard of listening to oscillators in the the darn electronics within the drone :) kandho se milte hai kandhe kadmo se kadam milte hai :)
