Impact of dual impulse , Air breathing and scram-jet technology on Indian missile program.

Hi Friends,

India is currently developing lots of new technology in rocket science and missile. It includes,

1) COmposite motors (Like the one india used in A4 and onward missiles.
2) Scramjet engines which india is developing at present.
3) New high energy explosives mixed fuels like india used in Pinaka MK2 rocket to enhense its range by further 60%
4) Air breathing technology which india is going to test this month.
5) Low weight components to substitute matel parts in rockets such as fuel pumps etc which is going to decrease the weight of rocket a lot and increase the speed.

When these technology starts getting mature and finds its way in indian missile program, india is going to take a giant stride in missile technology. This will reduce the size and weight of indian missile by half and double the speed. We can expect A4 size ICBM of india in next decade. These are very interesting technologies. Let us discuss the impact of these technologies on the missile program of india.

Let me do some calculations for you.

Any rocket has 10 to 15% weight of hardware and rest is fuel. Out fuel, 40% fuel and 60% oxidizer. So if airbreathing engine is made that straight way 83%*60% = about 50% mass can be reduced which is 2 times more T/W ratio. It means your missiles shall be very very long range and light weight. I look forward to a 10 to 15 ton ICBM in a decade in india's stable. We shall be able to carry them in salvos to gather in number of 2 to 4 on a single vehicle and fire at our will. on any target 5000 to 10000 KM away.
