[AUz]

lol..another failure by bhartis? Not surprised.

bhartis are so inferior that they can't accomplished what we did a DECADE ago!!!

It didn't fell in the bay of Bengal as claimed, looks like land to me.

Bhubaneswar: India's indigenous surface-to-surface cruise missile Nirbhay nose-dived midway after it test fired in Odisha on Friday.

According to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sources, the missile was launched from the Chandipur Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Balasore district at 11.38 am.

Although the take off was successful amid repeated disruptions of countdown, the missile missed the target after 11 minutes after it was test fired, said the sources.

The missile had a range of 750-1,000 km. But it nose-dived after covering 128 km in the Bay of Bengal.

The missile's first test on March 12, 2013 had also failed as it too fell after 20 minutes of flight. The second test on October 17, 2014 was also not up to the mark as it could not maintain a low height.

The cruise missile is expected to supplement the Indo-Russian joint venture supersonic cruise missile BrahMos, which can carry warheads up to 290 km.

The two-stage missile has a length of six metres, a diameter of 0.52 m, a wing span 2.7 m and a launch weight of about 1,500 kg.

If the problems stated in post #23 are to be believed, you have a major failure in your R&D process, not merely a test failure, even if this test was successful by luck.

Never mind

This is how indigenous technology is developed. We have after all perfected sending satellites in space - they must be doing something right.

Missile technology will also get perfected. We are not going to war tomorrow.

Are they from the same company? If they are from the same company, I would have to call it wonder. If they are from the different companies, it explains all. There is something called corporate culture.

In India such ventures are not ( yet) carried out by private companies.

They are all Govt agencies.

I know, but my point still stands either for company or for organization.

OK , they are different organisations which is understandable.

Their spheres of work are different . One is space & beyond the other is focused on delivering on targets on earth and above.

The point is that the basics are in place , let them learn from their errors.

this one is from previous failed test new pictures still not released Nirbhay is fishing under warter

Research and pak u know sounds like oxymoron
Never heard even a pak automobile company
Can u tell me the name of one

Currently we are developing weapons to nuke our neighbor after that we will think since import is a best option.

India made no contribution to it. Is is a derivative of a previous missile. Indians only contributed some money to it.

India's contribution in Brahmos is well documented ....... http://www.brahmos.com/content image/industrial.png ..... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfI3jFUiFKg/UvOrfU8tq3I/AAAAAAAAGhg/t3SDFfgAw_Q/s1600/BIC+Poster-1.jpg

Same is the case with Barak-8 .... we provided the propulsion and actuation systems .

So when we say JV , it actually means we provided something to the project ..... not like some other jv projects by you know who , who still can't show any major systems of their contribution to the jv project .

Stop taking credit for others efforts.

Good advice ..... It will be more applicable to you guys .

Flight of Nirbhay missile aborted nearly 12 minutes after launch

Balasore (Odisha), Oct 16, 2015 (PTI)

The test flight of India's nuclear-capable 'Nirbhay' long-range subsonic tactical cruise missile, launched from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur in Odisha today, was aborted nearly 12 minutes after lift-off, defence sources said.

The missile took off from a specially-designed launcher at launch complex-3 of ITR at 11:38 hrs, a defence ministry statement said.

All initial critical operations such as booster ignition, booster separation, wing deployment and engine start were successfully executed and Nirbhay reached the desired cruise altitude, the statement said.

During 700 seconds of flight, all sub-systems of the missile functioned satisfactorily and met all the desired functions. However, The mission was aborted after 700 seconds of flight, it added.

Powered by a solid rocket motor booster, the missile has a strike range of more than 1000km. Nirbhay missile, with a turbofan engine, is guided by a highly-advanced inertial navigation system, sources said.

The 1000kilometer class cruise missile, capabile of striking deep into the enemy territory, has been designed and developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation at it's aeronautics R&D laboratory ADE (Aeronautical Development Establishment) based in Bengaluru, they said.

The maiden test flight of Nirbhay on March 12, 2013 also had to be terminated midway for safety reasons due to malfunction of a component.

However, the second launch on October 17, 2014 was fully successful. Both the trials were conducted from this base.

I was laughing silently on the delusions of those who were talking about making a Sub marine launch version of Nirbhay within a year whereas they havent removed the kinks of LACM version yet.

Painter bhai, don't worry about us. We proved in BM space that you are nowhere near us. We have started working in CM space now. When you work the way India does it takes time but eventually you will see the same thing happening in CM space that has happened in BM space.

 

[gslv mk3]

They should learn to make a plane first, submarine launched cruise missiles are way out of their league.

You got it wrong dear- Pakistan is yet to develop a microlight aircraft .And you are talking about submarine launched CMs

We don't need advice from a technologically inferior nation-Sorry to disappoint you.

India’s indigenous subsonic cruise missile, Nirbhay, which failed its last test in December 2016, is ready for its fifth trial, DRDO chief S. Christopher said on Sunday.

“We are planning to have one probable trial (of the missile) next week,” Mr. Christopher said on the sidelines of a three-day international conference Fipsphysiocon-2017, organised by the Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences.

The DRDO chief said the glitches that led to failure in its fourth trial in December 2016 have been removed. Nirbhay’s December 2016 trial was aborted half-way as the missile changed its targeted course. It had to be destroyed within minutes of taking off amid a threat that the missile could hit land.

The 750-1,000 km-long range missile’s first test on March 12, 2013 failed as it fell after 20 minutes of flight. The second on October 17, 2014 was, however, successful. The third test on October 16, 2015 saw the missile nose-dive after covering 128 km in the Bay of Bengal.

The cruise missile is expected to supplement the Indo-Russian joint venture supersonic cruise missile BrahMos, which can carry warheads up to 290 km. The two-stage missile has a length of six metres, a diameter of 0.52 m, a wing span of 2.7 m, and a launch weight of about 1,500 kg.

With the capability to strike deep into enemy territory, Nirbhay has been designed and developed by the DRDO at it’s aeronautics R&D laboratory ADE (Aeronautical Development Establishment) based in Bengaluru.

The cruise missile is powered by a solid rocket motor booster developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) and is guided by a highly advanced inertial navigation system indigenously developed by Research Centre Imarat (RCI).

Nirbhay, which has capability to strike deep into enemy territory, has been designed and developed by the DRDO at its aeronautics R&D laboratory Aeronautical Development Establishment in Bengaluru.

The cruise missile is powered by a solid rocket motor booster developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory and is guided by a highly advanced inertial navigation system indigenously developed by Research Centre Imarat.

Nirbhay is able to pick out a target among multiple targets and attack it, and also can go around a target and re-engage it. It can fly at different altitudes ranging from 500 meters to 4 kilometers above ground and can fly at tree level to avoid detection by radar.

It is capable of delivering 24 different types of warheads depending on mission requirements and uses an inertial navigation system for guidance.
