Akash missile test fired at low altitude

[illusion8]

MUMBAI, JUNE 18:
The Indian Army has successfully test fired the Akash missile at a very low altitude near the boundary on June 18. The trial flight was the last among the validation trials being carried out by the Army, on the first-off production models of the Akash supersonic missile.

The supersonic missile intercepted a very small unmanned, fast moving Banshee aerial vehicle at 30 m altitude above sea level, proving the system capability against subsonic cruise missile. The sophisticated multi function radar, with built in features, tracked the low flying target continuously throughout its course.

Special algorithms and techniques developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for overcoming the multiple target reflections coming from the sea, worked perfectly in the mission, the DRDO said in a statement.

More than 250 industries are engaged in the production and supply of various subsystems and components, with military and aerospace grade quality for the Akash missile and ground systems. Bharat Electronics Ltd and Bharat Dynamic Ltd are engaged in executing the production orders, worth more than Rs 20,000 crore placed by the armed forced for the Akash missile systems.

Check out the low level interception

Interesting.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Good, it can be fielded as an anti-cruise missile platform in the future.

Does that mean deterrance against babur and Raad

Has it been inducted? Or was this part of the user trials, prior to induction?

Has it been inducted? Or was this part of the user trials, prior to induction?

Its in service with the IAF, IDK about the Army though

 

[TimeToScoot]

Its in service with the IAF, IDK about the Arny though

With this test successfully completed it is now ready for induction in the Army as well. Akash missile ready for induction into Army: DRDO - The Economic Times

poor calf was startled at launch

Say what?

Army has also ordered numbers ... i think it an upgrade which will trickle down to units produced

 

[OrionHunter]

Bull's Eye!!!

The indigenous multi-function radar has proved itself once again!

Cheers!

Say what?

watch the launch carefully, you'll see.

What's the science behind Akash radar detecting and destroying Cruise missiles at such low heights? I mean if it was possible, why America had to develop JLENS just to defeat cruise missiles, they have far more powerful radar to detect low flying objects
