BMD tested successfully

[Safriz]

Both Prithvi-III and Dhanush were upgraded to use a small low thrust first stage to increase velocity a bit.
But they remain far slower than an incoming IRBM warhead.

India Successfully Test Fires Exo-Atmospheric Interceptor Missile

At 0745 hrs today, India successfully conducted a test wherein an incoming ballistic missile target was intercepted by an exo-atmospheric interceptor missile off the Bay of Bengal.

With this commendable scientific achievement, India has crossed an important milestone in building its overall capability towards enhanced security against incoming ballistic missile threats. It has entered an exclusive club of four nations with developing capabilities to secure its skies and cities against hostile threats.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar lauded the efforts of the DRDO and all the scientists involved for their dedicated efforts in this significant achievement.

The launch speed is irrelevant- Once the ReV is released in the space speed is proportional to the height(altitude/apogee) and weight of ReV- It applies for everything from an ICBM to a stone/rock dropped from space-

Radar doesn't need to have 5000 km range to intercept similar range incoming missile, science 101

To detect launch at such great ranges- satellite is used- Although such Radars are needed for Mid-Course interception- Which should be the next step-

Obviously an incoming Shaheen series Warhead barging down at Mach 13+ or Mach 17+ in case of Shaheen-3 and and Ababeel , will be very difficult to intercept for such a slow moving BMD

When the targets are reentering , that speed matters, not the launch speed. So the two stage solid fuel target was developed keeping this in mind.

Any BMD capability is a good achievement looking at the technical difficulties.
But should Pakistan worry? Not yet.
May be the system is dangerous for our SRBM such as Abdali and Ghaznavi , but not for anything else.

Badaun: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today lauded the successful test of interceptor missile and used the occasion to take a dig at opponents, saying they would now have to travel "very high" if they want proof of it.

Addressing an election rally here, Modi congratulated the scientists for developing the defence system.

His remarks came hours after India successfully test-fired its interceptor missile off the Odisha coast, achieving a significant milestone in the direction of developing a two-layered Ballistic Missile Defence system.

The mission is for engaging targets in the exo-atmosphere region at an altitude above 50 km of earth's atmosphere.

Days after the government said its troops carried out surgical strikes by crossing the Line of Control to hunt terrorists, opposition parties including Congress and AAP had asked for a proof.

Balasore: India on Saturday successfully test-fired its interceptor missile off the Odisha coast.

The interceptor was launched from Abdul Kalam Island (Wheeler Island) of ITR at about 7.45 am.

With this, India has achieved a significant milestone in the direction of developing a two-layered Ballistic Missile Defence system.

This mission, termed as "PDV mission” is “for engaging the targets in the exo-atmosphere region at an altitude above 50 km of earth's atmosphere", said a Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) official.

"Both, the PDV interceptor and the two stage target missile, were successfully engaged," he said.

The target was developed for mimicking a hostile Ballistic Missile approaching from more than 2,000 km away and was launched from a ship anchored in the Bay of Bengal.

In an automated operation, radar-based detection and tracking system detected and tracked the enemy's ballistic missile.

The computer network with the help of data received from radars predicted the trajectory of the incoming Ballistic Missile.

PDV, that was kept fully ready, took off once the computer system gave the necessary command for lift-off. The Interceptor guided by high accuracy Inertial Navigation System (INS) supported by a Redundant Micro Navigation System moved towards the estimated point of the interception.

Once the missile crossed the atmosphere, the Heat Shield ejected and the IR Seeker dome opened to look at the Target location as designated by the Mission Computer.

The interceptor is based on the nuclear-capable Prithvi Missile.

With the help of Inertial Guidance and IR Seeker the missile moved for the interception. All events were monitored in real-time by the Telemetry/Range Stations, at various other locations.

In mid level flight BM has fixed trajectory and only end terminal phase maneuvering starts,

And u guys have tested a terminal phase interceptor... u dont even have a programe for mid course one

 

[The Deterrent]

India's best bet at an effective BMD against Pakistan is a satellite-aided, networked, airborne laser based defense. Both the mid-course and terminal interceptions are too easy to overcome, at a fraction of the cost.

Ah ok thanks.

This would be a mid alt interceptor then.

High alt would be like THAAD which is 150 km+.

If India can get a working system for 200km interception altitude, most MIRV capable missiles from the neighbourhood will be countered given interception can be done before separation. Though the crucial technology for that will be the radars and sat based sensors needed.

The assumption that MIRVs are deployed just prior to reentry is flawed. The fact is that MIRVs begin deployment as soon as the the boost phase finishes and the PBV corrects the trajectory, to achieve maximum spread (if needed).

As stupid as this example may sound, its kind of like the blue bird which splits into 3 in Angry Birds. There is absolutely no compulsion to deploy them just before reentry, as the vehicle is already out of the atmosphere by the time boost phase terminates and everything is ballistic from thereon.

for those who think that we have tested our BMD against Prithvi size target, it was tested against Prithvi RV, many times. including testing of its warhead on land.

here some test results

AAD warhead

Thanks Mr. Saya.

That is a fragmented warhead trial, it proves nothing unless the BMD is proven against Agni-I/II's faster separable RVs.

They don't need to be faster than incoming missile as it is based on head on/side ways interception parameter, not like in chase down mode.

The launch speed is irrelevant- Once the ReV is released in the space speed is proportional to the height(altitude/apogee) and weight of ReV- It applies for everything from an ICBM to a stone/rock dropped from space-



To detect launch at such great ranges- satellite is used- Although such Radars are needed for Mid-Course interception- Which should be the next step-

For this we have swordfish along with Green pine radar in our inventory. It can detect 3 inch object from long range, initial radar had upto 800 km range which has been already upgraded now. Further there are two far more deadly defensive weapons in making which practically you can say are offensive weapon.

Incoming missile is most of the time faster but Indian ballistic missile defense PDV is two stage solid fuel missile with high g pulling capability in space. In space no matter how fast you are going, you can be predicted much easily than in lower atmosphere.

Any BMD capability is a good achievement looking at the technical difficulties.
But should Pakistan worry? Not yet.
May be the system is dangerous for our SRBM such as Abdali and Ghaznavi , but not for anything else.


But Re-entry speed is proportional to Launch speed

Before re-entry missile is venerable to mid course interception of effective tracked effectively.

And u guys have tested a terminal phase interceptor... u dont even have a programe for mid course one

We do have mid course interception in testing phase while terminal phase is tested already being short range detection and tracking.

India's best bet at an effective BMD against Pakistan is a satellite-aided, networked, airborne laser based defense. Both the mid-course and terminal interceptions are too easy to overcome, at a fraction of the cost.

Which again refers to same parameters that until it does the re-entry, it is easier to intercept it than when it has already entered the atmosphere. If you have a ABM which can pull respected degree of g in space, it does have a good probability of successful interception. A boost phase interception is far easier to do than a mid course and again mid course is far more easy to intercept largely due to fixed flight ballistic path/trajectory.

Keep on-topic folks, my first and last warning. I already banned 2 posters (Indian and Pakistani) for silly grudge matches.

Boss why are u pulling g's in space? There is no gravity in space

 

[RISING SUN]

Modi talking about this test in a election rally in UP. I think it was a big test. PMO was involved. He is talking about the test with capabilities to go beyond 150 km altitude.





US did that in 80s. Check it out.



India has manoeuvring warheads. but Pakistan dont. So no worry.

Missile has the capability to cross 150+ kms in altitude with a specified g, missile can pull in space, that might be the reason he mentioned it. However wait for sometime, there are two big project coming online by the time this government term ends.
