Prahaar is a gift from DRDO’s 3rd generation scientists: Saraswat


DRDO chief Saraswat had a crucial review meeting of a sensitive project in South India on Monday. His team members were ready with a PPT containing the project update. To their surprise, he cancelled the meeting at the last moment and headed straight away to Balasore. The reason: “It was important for me to be with my team,” he said.
Shortly after Thursday’s maiden launch of Prahaar, an elated Saraswat spoke to Tarmak007. “Prahaar is state-of-the-art in terms of missile technology. It has a great potential to be used by the Indian Army as a battlefield support tactical missile. It can engage different targets at a time,” Sarsawat said.
When asked about DRDO’s decision to go-ahead with the Prahaar project without government sanction, Saraswat said: “It is our own technology development project and we did it in record time. The Army is extremely happy with today’s result. We are confident that the sanctions will follow soon. This is the DRDO I have been wanting for a long time. Your performance must speak always,” Saraswat said.
“It was such a delight watching this launch. It was really great and I am not exaggerating. We will have some more tests coming up, considering this was a maiden demonstration for the user,” the DRDO chief said.
The DRDO chief, who always prefers to reach the launch site in Balasore on a speed-boat, leaving the comforts of a VIP vessel, said that the whole missile was developed by scientists, below 35 years of age. “Be it the controls, navigation, propulsion, guidance, system engineering or structures – it is DRDO’s 3rd generation scientists who developed Prahaar. I am delighted to say that it is their gift to India,” Saraswat said.

2. Each of the six AAD missiles in a single launcher could be assigned to a single target or two missiles per target or six missiles for six different targets.

What say you?

If I were the enemy, I'd say I'm screwed!!

wow...With advent of these systems in both armies... battlefield will go really ugly... these system will make sure that peace remains the most viable option between us....

well, thats called "deterrence", isn't it..........

 

[angeldemon_007]

Do you guys think that the vehicle could carry 6 Prahaar ? I think Prahar is a bit a bigger...

I know Indians are gonna be at my throat for saying what i am gonna say, but by looking at things it seems to be the right thing, even though there is nothing bad in it.

The new missile seems to be a diicckk measuring contest as usual between the two countries, as the missile is in reality the Indian AAD missile, which has been tweaked to become a SSM, an easy step. This is not a new missile. Pakistan did the Al Nasr test and claimed that its a tactical battlefield missile, Indians couldn't sit idle, so they came up with the new tactical missile being the Parhaar developed from AAD.

Before you guys jump up to my throats, do see the pic of AAD and compare it with the new one, ditto copy. And its a good thing as now its gonna make Pakistanis to think about something to get in the 100-200KM range, which we lack.

Indian AAD missile:

Yes, you are right.

Prahaar is indeed the AAD interceptor missile.

The only thing DRDO has done, it has configured a separate missile launcher and converted AAD interceptor into a quick reaction short range missile.

Whether its new missile or not is the last thing we really care but its a damn good modification.

DRDO must have surely worked hard on its guidance schemes since they would be completely different had this been used as an interceptor.

@ taimikhan..
its indeed a tweaked version of Indian AAD missile ..its been acknowledged by drdo itself ...and it has nothing to do with nasr ..because development stated rather earlier than NASR came into existence ....missile was pursued by the technology developed for AAD missile development ...also due to of its low production cost.....

Indian AAD missile:

Like Akash SAM was a Ditto copy of SA-6............Come-on you can do better say some thing new.

AAD is a SAM system.......different seeker, different guidance, different warhead, different detonation mechanism.........I don't understand how can this be similar.........if i go by your definition of similarity then every rocket is similar......does similarity depends on only looks??

The parameters you mentioned are not difficult to modify......

DRDO hasn't mentioned that Prahaar comes with Nuclear Tag, I think in it's initial stage it's still a conventional one, and with upgradations in latter models, it will be fitted with low yield nuclear warhead

Modified =/= Ditto Copy......

Whats the need of fitting it with low yield Nuclear warhead if its already accurate enough to archive single digit CEP in meters........Nuclear warheads better suits inaccurate missiles which have CEPs in excess of 50-100m.
