Tessy Thomas : DRDO has its sights on MIRV

It costs a lot of money to import guidance systems. This will limit india's ability to actually mass produce and deploy Agni-5. China can also put pressure on Russia, because we have friendly relations. As for Israel, we can threaten to give Pakistan guidance systems for longer-ranged missiles if Israel doesn't stop helping india's ballistic missile program.

China can also put pressure on Russia,

Really? I never say you demostrating this imagined capability of yours, idiot.

At the other hand, you are unable to convince them to give you some Su-35s, while they would
give us fifth-gen fighters.

china says that it can build fifth-gen j-20 better than pak-fa but it still begs russia for 4.5 gen tech!

LOL are you going to divert Russian civilian space rocket technology to make your MIRV too? :lol: What a humiliation for india!

Broken record.... Keep repeating samething..Please go and get some sleep. We understand that Misile launch has given you a sleepless nights. So take some pills and take rest. it will help you. If this also does not work then issue some fresh and ultimate warnings.

Of course it matters. You can't make them on your own. So you literally can't make Agni-5 on your own. You are limited by your inventory of imported guidance systems.

If you had imported the components, and then indigenously manufactured them, it would be a different story.

LOL at india's humiliation again...... just like commonwealth games boasting all ended up in shame :lol:

LOL at a meek response from china..calling for peaceful relations :lol:

China has friendly relations with Russia. After we have a chat with Putin, he will be unimpressed by india diverting peaceful space rocket components to ballistic missiles, especially when these Agni-5 ballistic missile can easily be used to target Moscow!

The media loves calling her Missile Woman - and with good reason.

Tessy Thomas, a scientist from India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is a rare woman who has played a key role in the making of its most potent long-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile, the Agni-V, which was successfully tested on Thursday.

She is thought to be one of the very few women working on strategic nuclear ballistic missiles in the world.

In the male-dominated world of the country's highly secretive missile development programme, Ms Thomas, 49, has stood out ever since she joined the DRDO in 1988.

But the charismatic scientist says she has never faced any anti-female bias at her workplace.

"There is no gender discrimination in technology. If your work is good it automatically stands out. I have never faced any discrimination ever in my workplace," she says.

Ms Thomas, a Roman Catholic, was born to a small-businessman father and a homemaker mother in Alleppey in southern Kerala state.

She grew up near a rocket launching station and says her fascination with rockets and missiles began then.

After finishing school and college in Kerala, she left the state for the first time at the age of 20 to pursue a masters degree in guided missiles in the western Indian city of Pune. It was there she met her future husband, Saroj Kumar, now a commodore in the Indian navy.

Ms Thomas says she was named after Mother Teresa, the late Nobel laureate who worked with the poor in Calcutta.

'Weapons of peace'


So how does she feel about about working on some of the most powerful weapons of mass destruction?

Ms Thomas says she is developing "what are really weapons of peace".

What has been infinitely more difficult, she says, is juggling work and family.

At times, she says, she is torn between her loyalties to the missile programme and her family responsibilities.

It has helped immensely, she believes, that she has had immense support from her husband and son, Tejas, an engineering student who shares his name with India's indigenously developed light combat aircraft, also made by the DRDO.

In a glowing tribute in 2008, The Indian Woman Scientists Association did not forget to mention that "like most women she also does a tight-rope walk between home and career, between being a mother and a scientist who is dedicated to her job.

"We feel Tessy Thomas serves as a role model and an inspiration for women scientists to achieve their dreams and have their feet planted in both worlds successfully," the group said.

Ms Thomas has said when she joined the DRDO there were very few women working there. Now there are many more working in key weapons programmes.

In January, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told the Indian Science Congress that Ms Thomas is an example of a "woman making her mark in a traditionally male bastion and decisively breaking the glass ceiling".

Last year, three women scientists won the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar award, India's top science prize, compared to 11 from 1958-2010.

Now, the accolades are again coming fast for Ms Thomas - the media also love to call her Agniputri, or one born of fire, after the missiles she has helped develop.

"We are all proud of our country. Agni-V is one of our greatest achievements," she says.

What is imported is commodity computer chips; the value is in the guidance algorithms.

sino(mentally)challenged,does china has a quality asylum.....?if yes i urge u to visit it once.

Good to see women competing with men in the domains that really matter. :cheers:

Peace....

Wow this women is DRDO through and through!! How many women would name their children after fighter jets??!!

This is how it should be:

Good for her. Congratulations to the lady and her fellow scientists.

u r throughly misinformed..the electronic components that we import is related to ABCM (anti ballistic counter measures) and not the guidance system which we developed indegeniously in RCI IMARAT (a DRDO lab)
india cannot make:

- laser ring gyroscope

- heat resistant materials for re-entry vehicle shell

- atomic clocks

They are all imported from Russia. Saraswat admitted this fact and Chinese state media already stated this fact.

"The indigenous ring laser gyros-based high-accuracy INS (Rins) and micro navigation system (Mings) complementing each other in redundant mode, have been successfully flown in guidance mode for the first time."

No she did not name her son for a fighter jet! No mother (if any) will lke to do that. "TEJAS" is actually a Sanskrit word which means "Radiance" or "Brilliance" (of the Sun). That is because the Sun is considered to be the most powerful body in our universe. I can say that she surely had that in mind while naming her son.
