Defence News - Report on India's indigenous Cruise Missile Defence (CMD) Program

The Defence Research and Development organisation has finally disclosed that is is currently working on a Cruise Missile Defence Interceptor Missile Program for the past few years. The Interceptor will be able to detect and destroy low flying long range and air launched cruise missiles.
The Defence Research and Development organisation has finally disclosed that is is currently working on a Cruise Missile Defence Interceptor Missile Program for the past few years. The Interceptor will be able to detect and destroy low flying long range and air launched cruise missiles.

The DRDO with its successful experience in the Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) Program will be able to further develop the technology to intercept any low flying incoming missile. It is currently putting together the technology that it has developed in the BMD program and developing the Interceptor Missile.

The development in this field will also enahnce India's knowledge in low level radar technology and the ability to search and destroy small flying hostile objects.

DRDO claims that the Interceptor when ready will be able to detect and track a Cruise Missile right from the launch phase with the help of the Akshadeep Aerostat system which is currently being developed by Aerial Delivery Research & Development Establishment (ADRDE) and other low ground based low level radars which will keep track of the cruise missiles trajectory. Upon detection of the incoming missile by the radars, the Interceptor will be auto-activated and an interceptor missile will be fired to seek and destroy. The interceptor missile will be fired when the enemy cruise missile will begin its final descent and will be destroyed before it reaches its target.

The Interceptor Program will be able to provide India the much needed shield to its high value strategic assets against enemy attacks while the Army can move in to neutralise enemy forces. DRDO has said that the Interceptor will be ready in a few years and it will be able to neutralise all Pakistani cruise and short range ballistic missiles like the NASR.

When it comes to missile development I dont have any doubts about DRDOs capabilities.Good development

Why officially declare about the existance of the programme now itself when its a good few years from completion?

^^ so the Pakistanis can rachet up the production of their cruise missile as well,for a saturation attack, and to keep cruise missiles as viable deterrent. It will force them to divert funds from other projects, and that is also another objective of any missile defence system, to make stockpiling an expensive proposition for the enemy

That was a successful policy.By propogating a non sense doctrine called Cold Start Doctrine (CSD) they successful drained a lot of Pak resources in the name of Nasr

You think DRDO is that smart

As far as I know India had tested its interceptor missile for the first time in 2011. In 2012 DRDO had confirmed that the Phase I of the BMD system would be deployed by 2014 and also that BMD system would be implemented in cities like Delhi and Mumbai and later used to cover other cities.

When it comes to missile development I dont have any doubts about DRDOs capabilities.Good development

correct me if I'm wrong that India already has a 2 tier ballistic missile defence system in place (high altitude as well as low altitude).
This news has actually left me flummoxed or 've I misunderstood something.

 

[Skull and Bones]

I think other nations relies on quick reaction SAM and CIWS to tackle the cruise missile threat.

True. So is India putting together a package of CIWS and SAM?

Maybe an inter-networked system to cover an entire zone from cruise missile threat than isolated places as in other systems.

 

[HariPrasad]

So currently India has Akash to Counter cruise missiles. AAD variant, QR SAM Under development and LR SAM shall be added.

I think BMD is undergoing deployment in major cities and installations.

Yes,we have a two tier BMD system with PAD for high altitude interception and AAD for low altitude which could intercept a missle fired from 2000-2500kms away and was first said to be deployed in Delhi & Mumbai,with Induction of PDV we could intercept missile from 5K kms away,PDV would replace PAD in 2016,as it falls into Phase 2 of BMD programme. But the thing is why have a CMD programme when AAD or SAM's could do the job?or am i missing something.
