DRDO’s first indigenously developed Ku-band seeker for Country’s first Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile ” Astra ” has successfully carried out integrated Captive fight trials from Astra Missile.

According to information provided to idrw.org, Indigenous Ku-band active radar seeker was integrated with the Astra the missile in weapon system configuration on the Su-30 aircraft and could successfully track the target Su-30 aircraft.

DRDO’s Astra missile until now carried a variant of the 9B1103M active radar seeker used in the Vympel R-77 BVRAAM procured from Russian radar seeker design bureau AGAT.

Research Centre Imarat, Hyderabad, developed Ku-band seeker for Astra missile is a scaled down version of an existing active radar seeker developed by DRDO. Captive fight trials of first indigenous Ku-band active radar seeker were successfully carried out from Su-30 aircraft in February 2016 at AF station, Pune.
 
If Astra uses the scaled down version of of seeker, then what is the full scale used for?

Thanks to the genorousity of Russians, despite of loosing market they given tech support to us in devolopment of critical stuffs.
 
The most important part is seeker which they denied that is the reason we had to develop it our own. Lets see what happens next.
