'Working on Interceptor against 5,000-km range enemy missile': DRDO Chief

[OrionHunter]

countries have had interceptors for decades can't intercept a MIRV tipped missile.

Spot on! It's almost impossible to intercept all MIRVs simultaneously. This would need a tremendous technological leap for a foolproof system.

When India says they are developing something. It means they are on the market to buy something from Israel, Russia, USA or some other country.

When China says they are developing something. It means they are on the market to steal something from Israel, Russia, USA or some other country.

Why can't indian scientists stop bragging about weapon systems under development? :banghead: keep your mouth shut and finish the long pending projects

everyone does it - unless a ultra secretive country. in fact it is part of foreign policy to do so...

Wrong. A single interceptor missile cannot intercept multiple MIRVs, but if you launch
multiple interceptors, any number of MIRVs can be stopped.

The problem however lies with the MARVs (Maneuvering re-entry vehicles), which can dodge interceptors.
But here too, multiple interceptors can solve the problem, as an incoming warhead may be able to
dodge 1 or 2 but not more than that.

If the MARVed warhead maneuveres too much, it will lose a fair amount of it's terminal velocity,
making it slow and thus more vulnerable to interception.

To intercept a MIRV what you need is a Mid-Course Exo-Atmospheric Kill Vehicle. Which India do not have.

We are going to test PDV missile which has dual seeker (IIR and active radar) to intercept missiles at km altitude. We are also developing AD-1 and AD-2 missiles to intercept at 250 above earth.

well missilles have not proved efficient interceptors so far ...maybe laser and energy weapons are the future in the field..

Even laser energy Weapons are not very effective against the missiles like agni having composite body as it it is very difficult to heat the missile over 4000 degree. It can be useful against the missiles having metal body like Chinese and Pakistani missiles.

 

[vsdave2302]

PRC and PAK should go for more offensive capabilities like MIRVs along with ensuring a quasi ballistic pathway for their missiles. Even US BMD are not 100% effective forget about anything DRDO makes. The most important thing is that BMDs are costly and give an insignificant bang for the buck compared to ballistic missiles, which is still and for the foreseeable future will remain be the most potent destructive weapon built by mankind. Hegemonic dadas won't be able to keep up with a offensive build up which will ultimately suck them dry while a burgeoning china can keep up both a overwhelming offensive and far more effective BMD system thanks to its large economy. In short chanakyans have introduced BMD as a destabilising resource draining factor in line with their deceptive devilish ideology in a race in which they have not 1 in a billionth chance of winning.

After 3 million people genocide, and 2 lakh rapes by your own country men in 60s, chanakyas help your country to be what it is today.

Like WS 10 engine developed by china? On one hand they declare successful integration of Engine in Chinese plane & simultaneously allocating $16BN for Engine technology purchase.

Any source for AD-1 and AD-2 missiles ?
You also need a ballistic missile early warning radar which India do not have.

Very good. If we throw an infinite amount of interceptor as a MARV, than it will hit one. So the issue now is a matter of cost. Countries have tried to intercept at mid range and boost phase because of cost. Even US cannot intercept all MIRV without going bankrupt.

Actually, china also do not have a working system. It had successfully tested interception of a missile at a controlled scenario. But not an actual scenario with decoys. I don't think mid course will work. At least not directing a KKV from the target country. The best result would be space based anti missile system.

 

[faithfulguy]

Great... another big mouth guy like the old DRDO chief.... first deliver THEN talk please!

Why, the last guy was popular and gets funding with all the bragging. More talk, more dough. to hell with results.

yeah and results like K 15,BMD,Shaurya and the like.

so did he do a good job. Many members from India seem to believe that the talked too much.

we have 800 km range Swordfish LRTR,anymore links about the chinese ones??
