Indian missile specifications at a glance

[Mirza Jatt]

good work kinetic..keep it up...do post info on Indian SAMs as well.

The Prithvi Air Defense missile has been named as Pradyumna Ballistic Missile Interceptor. It has an maximum interception altitude of 80 km and is capable of engaging the 300 to 2,000 km class of ballistic missiles at a speed of Mach 5. DRDO is currently working on an missile for intercepting targets of 5,000+ km range and engaging them at altitudes of up to 150 km.The tests are expected to commence from 2010-11

Swordfish is the target acquisition and fire control radar for the BMD system. The LRTR currently has a range of 600 km (370 mi) to 800 km (500 mi) and can spot objects as small as a cricket ball. The DRDO plans to upgrade the capacity of Swordfish to 1,500 km by 2011

The Shaurya missile (Sanskrit: Valour) is a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed by DRDO of India for use by the Indian Army. It has a range of 600 km and is capable of carrying a payload of one-tonne conventional or nuclear warhead. The Shaurya missile provides India with a significant second strike capability. Shaurya Missile is considered a land version of the Sagarika. This missile is stored in a composite canister just like the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. The composite canister makes the missile much easier to store for long periods without maintenance as well as to handle and transport. It also houses the gas generator to eject the missile from the canister before its solid propellant motors take over to hurl it at the intended target. Shaurya missiles can remain hidden or camouflaged in underground silos from enemy surveillance or satellites till they are fired from the special storage-cum-launch canisters. DRDO Defence scientists admit that given Shaurya's limited range at present, either the silos will have to be constructed closer to India's borders or longer-range missiles will have to be developed. The Shaurya system will require some more tests before it becomes fully operational in two-three years. Moreover, defense scientists say the high-speed, two-stage Shaurya has high maneuverability which also makes it less vulnerable to existing anti-missile defense systems. When Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems Advanced Air Defence (AAD) and Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) are to be tested again, the Shaurya invulnerability to anti-missile systems will be tested. The DRDO scientists also have said that if Shaurya is successful and manages to avoid anti ballistic missile radars then the missile can even be used to improve the AAD and PAD systems.

Tremendous work Kinetic,as usual.Aoy news regarding the PDV??Man,that will be nur best interceptor missile in the 1st phase.I don't like the PAD.We need something like the solid fueled highly mobile PDV with 150-160 km interception altititude and hypersonic speed to successfully intercept incoming solid fueled IRBMs like Shaheen2 and DF 21s.PAD is good for technology demonstration.But it's simply not enough in our current and future scenarios.PLEASE give some info about PDV.Tremendous work Kinetic,as usual.Aoy news regarding the PDV??Man,that will be nur best interceptor missile in the 1st phase.I don't like the PAD.We need something like the solid fueled highly mobile PDV with 150-160 km interception altititude and hypersonic speed to successfully intercept incoming solid fueled IRBMs like Shaheen2 and DF 21s.PAD is good for technology demonstration.But it's simply not enough in our current and future scenarios.PLEASE give some info about PDV.

Well done mate........all in one information.

All those missiles mentioned above.............How many of them are really tested and adopted by military in real time and how many are just on paper work.........and how manys are tested by third observers that those are really functional and accurate.??????

Read again, status has been mentioned.

We do not want a third party to authenticate its accuracy and function. May you will come to know in future.(wish you wont)

MALIK USMAN U MUST HAVE ASKED THEM THAT........DO THEY WORK? I MEAN CAN THEY FLY AS WE SEE ON U TUBE HOW SUCESSFUL THEIR MISSILES ARE?

What your point is? Third party? even second party never is invited over these tests & functinal status, but only in case if there is any cooperation in development of missile.

 

[danger007]

It will stupidity to think of 100% success,with some modification we can get success, but ur attitude will remain same....

alpha loin this thread is not for you to troll....its just like a tabloid containing information....so just buzz off
