LR-SAM’s big test this month

:hitwall: :hang2:

In addition to its land-based deployments, the HQ-9 has been recently modified to complement China’s burgeoning naval forces. The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has outfitted two Type 052C destroyers with naval variants of the HQ-9, estimated to have a range of 65 nautical miles. Each Type 052C destroyer (similar to the U.S. Aegis destroyer) has six vertical launchers carrying approximately 36 missiles, as well as a phased-array radar system.

65 * 1.6 = 104KM

LR - SAM = 120KM.

Yes u are right bro........naval version is hhq-9 with rangr of upto 125 km,,,,,still significantly better than barak 8

and naval lr sam= 70 km only
iaf lrsam= 120 km

That means the LR-SAM will go from testing to service within one year. Are you sure about this? I think 2015 would be more realistic, don't you think?

Read carefully this missile was first tested in 2010 and it's just advanced version of Barak-1 .

The range is irrelevant in this case.

Any aerial platform and weapons combo worth its salt will always be engineered to engage a ship from stand-off ranges close to 180-250 Km in which case intercepting the platform is not possible unless the target is a CBG in which case the BARCAP+AEW&C deployed can engage the inbound platforms beyond the deployment envelope of the ASM/ASCM being carried by said inbound platforms. So a 125Km range interceptor solely developed for a higher range will prove woefully ineffective in such a scenario.

The larger interceptors from the SM family (2 and 3) are geared towards an ABM role despite being able to engage targets at extreme ranges. While such a high altitude and extreme range interceptor shall be required by the navy in the next decade as sustained hypersonic ASCM/Quasi BMs evolve and nations opt for them rather than smaller solid fueled ASM systems being employed by some nations atm for the high speed ASM role it is not a requirement right now.

Currently that leaves us with a few requirements. A SAM system capable of engaging both manned aerial targets as well as inbound ASM/PGM/ASCM (specially the sea skimmer variants of the latter). A SAM that has an active seeker along with an IR seeker, data-link, dual pulse rocket so as to be able to engage in high-g maneuvers even towards the end of its operational envelop. An integrated sensor and interceptor package with an extremely coordinated and smart mode of operation. The MF-STAR/ALPHA and Barak combo allows the ship to track, engage and intercept multiple inbounds simultaneously while coordinating through data and time share capabilities with other platforms for a truly coordinated and synergistic response. 80 Gs of lateral acceleration, an active seeker and robust ability to discriminate among multiple inbounds leads to a near perfect direct kill system capable of (along with its sensor and combat & data management system) engaging the myriad types of vampires we might face, from high velocity high alt NLOS-BM derivatives being intercepted in their terminal phase to the really deadly sea-skimmers being intercepted in concert with AEW&C platforms providing detection and tracking for the interceptor. The Barak fits our current needs quite well. Although the time it has taken to be fully developed has delayed the Kolkata Class DDG project substantially given that the said boats were in advanced stages of construction even back in 09-10.

One of the best features of the missile.
 
. .
IN plans to use the 120km variant under testing.

No, only the 70km variant will be put on IN ships.

The 110km variant (not 120km; it's changed now) is for IAF/IA land deployments. It comes with an
additional booster in the lower end of the body, and therefore cannot fit inside the existing 70-km
variant VLS cell onboard IN ships.

The 70km variant fulfills all of IN's requirements though.
