IRGC Commander Underlines Need to Produce Radar-Evading Missiles

TEHRAN (FNA)- Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami called on Iranian scientific and academic centers to develop radar-evading materials to be used in the country's home-made missiles.
General Salami made the remarks while visiting Imam Hossein (AS) University's advanced materials and nanotechnology center inaugurated in Tehran on Tuesday.

"We need radar-evading materials for missiles and one of the tasks at this center is studying the weaponry systems' electromagnetic properties," he said.

"Production of compounds and composites to decrease the volume and surface of aerospace equipment and ground-based weapons are among the other measures to be adopted by the center," General Salami added.

Late in 2014, Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan had said that his country is the fourth missile power in the world and is working on plans to develop radar-evading missiles.

"Iran ranks fourth among the world missile powers after the US, Russia and China," General Dehqan said at the time.

He said Iran has increased the range of its missiles in reaction to enemy's possible threats, but it is now "trying to increase the precision of our missiles and their endurance, and (also) make them radar-evading".

Iran has made huge progress in building different types of weapons and military equipment, including radar-evading equipment.

General Salami announced last November that the IRGC has developed a drone technology which has empowered its radar-evading pilotless aircraft to fly 3,000km nonstop for reconnaissance and combat missions.

"Our defensive achievements and tests have grown so much that we avoid releasing reports about them in order not to prevail a security atmosphere in the society," Salami said.

Noting that Iran which one day merely test-fired short-range missiles is now in possession of high-precision long-range missiles, he said, "Today, our drones' 3,000-km operational range and their ability to carry out offensive operations is no more surprising to us."

By Khalid Kazimov – Trend:

Iran is after obtaining materials that would help the country to develop stealth missiles, a senior military official said.

Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the second-in-command of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, has said that the country is in need of materials making it possible to develop missiles capable of hiding from the enemy’s radars, electromagnetic or laser systems, Mehr news agency reported.

He made the remarks at the inaugural ceremony of the Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology at Imam Hossein University in Tehran.

Saying that materials play a significant role in developing weapons and defense technologies, he added that the Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology has been organized to carry out research works regarding the characteristics of materials employed in creating defense technologies.

Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems over the past several years.

The Islamic Republic maintains that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.

Im glad to see iranian generals are starting to work on countermeasures against laser based weapons and of course radar stealth missiles, it was about time.
lasers however are pretty damn potent weapon against anything that is not coated with antilaser or flame retardant materials. I would also focus not only on laser but also EMP grade weapons so anything that uses electronic devices falls out of skies without firing a bullet and cyber weapons, that news about Nitro Zeus give me shivers down the spine .

yavar, can you please add short informations for us non-iranian members, thank you

I assume IRGC already has radar evading materials for missiles.

Also you need to think the other way round that is when you are attacked by such missiles. The only effective concept seems to be deterrance based on mutually assured destruction unless an effective terminal defense system is developed since midcourse based long range abms cant track and wont work effectively. Long wavelegth long range radars can be an early warning system for incoming low rcs ballistic missile warheads to trigger your own missile salvo making it a deterrant factor against such attacks. You can experiment both ways when you have such technology.

He is spot on
