I would look forward to a carrier killer version of Shaurya.But for that to achieve we gonna need 2 very crucial things-
1.A terminal seeker and an INS accurate enough to conduct the task of terminal digital correlation because current seekers will have a very very hard time (and a short time too) to keep track on and change its course with the moving AC due to the extreme vellocity of Shaurya.
2.The most crucial requirement-to locate and track an AC into the vast ocean India will need a constellation of ocean surveillance sattelites with high resolution SARs.
For requirement 1,DRDO is already developing one such seeker with Russia for Brahmos 2,that should be easily intigrated with Shaurya.
For the more crucial requirement 2 however,we may
have to wait longer.
But we are currently going in the right direction at an incredibly fast pace.Kudos to DRDO scientists for their dedication and this great achievement.
REGARDS. . . . . . . . .
Well said. I also thought about Brahmos seeker for Shaurya or may be AAD seeker. AAD is a hypersonic missile like Shaurya. One of the main challenge would have been extreme heat generated during high speed could damage the seeker and radome but we have developed the technology through AAD. I think it will not be difficult to put it on Shaurya.
