Fully Automated Strategic Command and Control Support System (SCCSS)

[TOPGUN]

Awsome news does anyone have pic's of the sys ?

My question remains, what was AUTOMATED and to what degree.

In simple terms automation in such systems means that the on-board sensors on the missile would pass data in real time back to its command and control monitoring station, which may be hundreds of miles away. The trajectory of missile would be tracked real time on a digitized map in the command and control monitoring station. If certain changes are needed in its trajectory or the target may need to be changed within certain limits and parameters, command could be passed to the missile in real time. One or a number of missiles on one or multiple targets could be fired from a remote location, which could may well be hundreds or thousands (if need be) miles away.

The monitoring station could issue real time instructions to or order an automated fire sequence for any number of missiles within its sector or theater and would also be able to track any number of missiles simultaneously. The same picture would be available at higher command levels which could have an over-ride on sectoral or theater environment.

Commanders or staff in the command and control station may also be able to pass real time intelligence picture to all sectors or theaters for situational awareness and the required data.

what stops pakistan from persuing fusion weapons?
Much more efficient they are.

1. Technological complications (for two-stage thermonuclear design)
2. Lack of resources (for fusion fuel)
3. Lack of Testing Opportunities for design verification (International Pressure)
4. Financial Constraints
5. No compulsory need (fission weapons suffice)

They are, indeed. Personally, I am in favor of 4-5 thermonuclear weapons for EMP attacks.

Sir,

That goes against the definition of Automation.

ans a US space based EM pulse will knock out all your satellites and u will be left with lots of metal junk.............

 

[alimobin memon]

Electro Magnetic pulse is made by Nuclear bomb blasted at a certain altitude it's impact(reaction) is many times more than the Blast diameter Imagine if USA does use EMP technique to destroy our satellites they will surely destroy most of south asian satellites...
USA took a study that how BIG it can be when Russian tested 184m believe me even a small tactical nuke is going to be pain in A***

may be testing variable yeild mechanism?
Because those steategic warheads can be adjusted for different yeilds according to the target..
So Pakistan is working on miniature nuclear weapons....a 1960's technology.

Use of tactical nuclear weapons against similarly armed adversaries carries a very significant danger of quickly escalating the conflict beyond anticipated boundaries, from the tactical to the strategic, ie from counter force to counter value/counter city.

Ironically, the smallest tactical nuclear warheads with the lowest-yields are the most dangerous in this respect because they greatly reduce the threshold for starting an all out nuclear war. For this reason, stockpiles of tactical nuclear warheads in most countries' arsenals have been dramatically reduced and the smallest types have been completely eliminated.

In a nutshell, tactical nukes are a trigger for an all out conflagration. There would be no graduated response from the adversary. The use of even one small so called tactical nuke can result in an all out nuclear response. And that is what India's nuclear doctrine is all about.

In other words, if Pakistan attempts to use even one tactical/battlefield nuclear weapon against advancing columns then it should be prepared for an all out nuclear war in the subcontinent.

The world's nuclear powers have realized this and therefore eliminated this from their war doctrines. Pakistan it seems is the only country that has gone back to the 60s doctrine of employing tactical nuclear weapons.

You see, the problem is that Pakistan's Military Brass (SPD, SFC) thinks that India would hesitate to respond to an attack on its troops over foreign soil.

So the basic question is, will India risk retaliation with a massive nuclear strike all over Pakistan? Provided that:
1. There is no guarantee of a wipe-out of all Pakistani Nuclear Forces in a first strike.
2. Resultantly, massive retaliation against India will be carried out immediately.

Tactical nukes do reduce the NUCLEAR threshold, but they also increase the CONVENTIONAL threshold in this case. So that no conventional attack ever takes place.

Both Pakistani and Indian nuclear forces are not that robust to escalate a nuclear conflict as quickly as the super-powers can. Therefore, a Pakistani tactical nuclear strike not only has the potential to halt an enemy advancement, but also to buy the International Community some time to force the adversaries to ceasefire.

ISLAMABAD, Oct 10 (APP): Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) acquired by Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), with the assistance from China,will become functional by June 2013. GNSS is a set of navigation satellites orbiting around the earth and providing geo-spatial positioning service worldwide. The system allows a small electronic receiver to determine its location using time signals transmitted from these navigation satellites.

Associated Press Of Pakistan ( Pakistan's Premier NEWS Agency ) - GNSS to be functional by June 2013

This will surely augment the SCCSS. In the long run, we are seeing satellite guidance chips in Shaheen 1-A and n Shaheen 2 which will surely increase there accuracy and in a 3-4 year time, Babur Wil have a satellite guidance along with TERCOM and DISMAC... this means Babur can also be used for moving targets i.e. strategic purposes, Hitting large enemy column etc etc

According to my knowledge all ADV Advance Delivery Vehicle need the systematic key system to run any operation...
May be this is new version of control in NCA or NCC...

Fully automatic system have various corruption in this era of technology...

Most EM pulse weapons have limited effectiveness..
Its not the magic wand.
