Agni-VI Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)

[JAISWAL]

Now we have two long range SLBM under development!!

IMO they should take the best out of two and make a new missile instead of wasting resources on two missiles or scrap Agni SLBM for K-X since IN is more interested in K series missiles.

.
.
.
^^^^^it doesnt seems so.
The K serise out to be a quasi-ballestic missile and Agni serise is pure ballestic missle.
So i think non will be scraped.
Hope so, but you naver know about INDIA.

K series is considered to be more advanced than Agni series by Indian Navy.

I am almost certain that they will replace all the prithvis with K-15 in future but i am not sure about long range missiles.

thats what i said they are advance in tech but for long range Agni serise is mutch batter in my openion

But you cant fit a Agni missile in a Sub, can you ? Its too bulky even the two stage Agni-3 is 17 meters and its competitor K-4 is only 10 meters.
Lot of work needs to be done to fit a Agni missile in Submarines, we can only wait and see.

here is a post that might help you to understand that k serise is hybrid missle which follow both cruse and ballestic missle propeties.
.
.
.
The hybrid K-15 combines
aspects of both cruise and
ballistic missiles, which use
multiple-stage rockets to exit the
atmosphere and re-enter in a
parabolic trajectory. Launched
underwater, the K-15 surges to
the surface and kickstarts a first-
stage air-booster which takes it
to 7 km. A second stage booster
takes it to a height of 40 km.
Ejecting the first stage, the
slender 10-m-long missile flips
over and flies at seven times the
speed of sound like a cruise
missile. It has fins enabling it to
be steered to within 20 m of its
target, nearly 750 km away.

AND
yes after analysing all the articals on K & Agni serise i am convisened that K serise will be the default missile on submarines but will be supported by Agni serise when we need high and large distruction of enemy target as Agni's had large diameter then K's so can carry large amount of warhead meterial for large distruction.

 

[plugwater]

Both Agni and K in one sub ? I doubt that, Its either Agni or K.

.

its depends upon the target priority and amount of damage army want to cause.

now here is a news about two seperate missile of K-serise which both are SLBM.
for source scroll down on link and you will get information on various weapons..

K-X series missiles

K-4 SLBM
K-4
DRDO is working on a
Submarine Launched Version of
the Agni-III missile which has
resulted in the K-4 program.
Current estimates say the missile
will be able to place a one ton
warhead up to 3,500 km away.
This will provide India with a
credible sea based second strike
capability.
The missile has been tested twice
but still has several more tests to
undertake before it is scheduled
to enter service in 2017.
Specifications:
Weight: 20 tons
Length: 10 m
Warhead: 1 ton
Range: 3,500 km
Cost:
Est. $5 million

K-V/5 SLBM
K-V/5
The K-V is a Submarine
Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM)
variant of the Agni-V. It will
extend the strike range of the
submarine fleet to at least 5,000
km.
The missile is scheduled to begin
tests in 2013 and continue till
2019. In 2020, the missile will be
entering service with the Navy.
Specifications:
Weight: 35 tons
Length: 13 m
Warhead: 1 ton
Range: 5,000 km
Cost:
Est. $8 million

Both Agni and K in one sub ? I doubt that, Its either Agni or K.

The K-Series are probably modified Agni Missiles, the K-4 is quite similar to the Agni-II. It is probably modified with an initial canister booster to push out of the submarine silos. However the exhaust gas seems to be orange which means its liquid propelled like the Pritive. I dont think its anything completely new which would consume a lot of resources.

Both K and Agni are solid propellant.
K is like a cruise missile, it travels parallel to the ground and Agni travels is parabolic trajectory, So they are two different missile.

this A6 with SLBM capabilities shows the maturity of DRDO in SLBM department, we have to remember that K15 and K10(A3 SLBM) are successful.

 

[Param]

Whatever happened to Agni5. Read somewhere that test has been postponed to 2012. DRDO talked about lots of missile tests this year, almost five months gone.

Its good. Keep them guessing.

Agni-VI is an intercontinental ballistic missile in development by India. Capable of launched from submarines or from land, it can strike at a target of 10,000km with MIRVed warheads.[1]

The SLBM version of missile is meant for the Arihant class submarines of the Indian Navy.

The program was classified and was never disclosed to public until 2011. However, the DRDO newsletter in May 2011, while describing the profile of one of the recently promoted scientists, revealed that he headed a program named A6 which will be a 10000 km missile with underwater launch and MIRV capabilities. This only confirmed that India is actively working on the Agni-VI ICBM. However, the details were soon removed and a modified version of newsletter was published on DRDO website.

How is it different from the Surya project?

 

[Rahul92]

I believe Surya project has been merged into this
