DRDO Statement: Akash, the indigenously designed developed and produced surface to air missile for the Indian Army was once again successfully flight tested today at the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur. These were part of a series of trials being conducted in various engagement modes from the first of the production model system being produced to equip two regiments of the Indian Army. Both, today’s flight destroying a target in receding ting mode, as well as the one conducted on 21st Feb 2014 (video) destroying an approaching target, fully met mission objectives. A few more trials are planned in different engagement modes.

The multi target, multi directional, all weather air-defence system consisting of surveillance and tracking radars, control centres and ground support systems mounted on high mobility vehicles for the Army version of Akash is designed to enable integration with other air defence command and control networks through secure communication links. Developed by DRDO, the Army version of Akash is being produced by Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) as the nodal production agency with the involvement of Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and a large number of other industries. The total production value of Akash air defence systems cleared for induction by Indian Army and Indian Air force is more than Rs 23,000 crore.

@Oscar More compact TEL already here..my that was quick.

Now if only they would go for a integrated seeker and better kinematics too.

Compact yes, but still not canisterized and sitting with three missiles. Its lookalike(in dimensions and design) the venerable Sa-6 took advantage of a tracked solution in terms of width.However, compared to the articulated ungainly solution the previous TEL was , this is clearly a step up.

Yaara I am just happy with the TEL..the mandarins at DRDO take a lifetime to change anything they settle upon once.

Canisterization is the logical step BUT now someone has to convince the DRDO and powers that be of that fact.
