Missile Test Notification

it has prime.............................

this missile doesn't have tail fins or fore fins, it's just is a plan missile, how does it maneuver ? just with the engine ?

Is this the new agni-2 test? I think it may have thrust vectoring like on the GSLV booster.

this is agni 2 prime, failed first test. Its payload bay is similar to A3, if that be the case it is advance like A3 in reaching its target.

what does prime stand for saya?

no idea GK but this will be helpful for you Agni-II+ / Agni-II Plus / Agni-II Prime - a knol by Vijainder K Thakur

my question was, how does it maneuver without tail fins ?

 

[nirmal]

i have one request for moderators, if possible please block the face of people shown in the pictures at different point of time.

 

[agentperry]

this is a simple agni 2 missile, prime will be tested next month.

very small rocket in the cone itself.

whats the difference between

Agni II and Agni II prime?

One main difference would be the range , a regular Agni 2 has a 2000-2500km range, the prime has a range between 2500-3000km,this is achieved by having a better thrust to weight ratio.
another is mobility i believe the regular A2 is only Rail mobile while the Prime has road mobility as well
a third is size the A2 is thinner and longer then the Prime which is shorter and also the A2 utilizes fins for steering whereas the A2P has thrust vectoring as well as a completely redesigned head shield along with terminal maneuvering flex nozzles in the second stage.

 

[majorIN]

when the Agni prime and Agni 5 will be tested?? why was Agni prime failed so many times??

Agni-II Prime surface-to-surface missile would be launched in November and the first flight test of India's longest range strategic system Agni-V (5,000 km range) would be conducted in December

The Hindu : Sci-Tech : 'Launch confirms India's readiness for strategic defence'

domain-b.com : 4th Gen anti-tank guided missile 'Nag' to undergo final round of tests

4th Gen anti-tank guided missile 'Nag' to undergo final round of tests

07 October 2011



Jaisalmer: The DRDO-developed, fourth generation, 'fire-and-forget' anti-tank missile 'Nag' will undergo a final round of tests next week at the Pokhran field firing range located at Jaisalmer in the state of Rajasthan. The Nag missile was last tested in July 2010, and it has undergone some rectifications since then.

Confirming the tests, a DRDO spokesman said there are some technical changes and corrections in the launch pad as per army requirements. Reportedly, the army is satisfied with the performance of the Nag.

"The missile is developed by the Defence R&D Laboratory (DRDL) in Hyderabad. The army is confident of the performance of missile. It has budgeted Rs335 crore to complete the project," said a DRDO spokesman.

Once operational, the Nag, will be one of just a handful of "fire-and-forget" missiles, such as the American Javelin, and the Israeli Spike. The Javelin and the Spike are lighter missiles that can be carried by a soldier (man portable).

Heavier and more powerful than these missiles, the Nag is designed to operate from vehicles and helicopters. As per sources, that Nag can hit a target in any climate at any time, whether day or night.

The Nag can operate in ranges of 4-5 km.

A CCD camera allows optical guidance for the system which makes the Nag virtually jam-proof, unlike infra-red seekers of the Javelin and the Spike.

The Nag is visible only during the first one second of flight, when the missile's booster imparts 90% of the momentum; after that, a sustainer maintains the missile's speed, burning a smokeless propellant that is practically invisible. The plume of burning propellants from the tail of most missiles gives away its flight path and makes the missile operator vulnerable.

Nag trials were conducted on 26 December 2008, 3 July 2009 and 3 August 2009. The last tests were conducted in July 2010.

DRDO sources said preparations for the test were complete.

After all, how many final trials are needed. The NAG has been going through user trials for the last five years or more. Its high-time people should stop messing around with this project & induct the system.

HELINA tested on ALH Rudra

HELINA tested on ALH Rudra | Angle of Attack | Defence Aviation

India's Integrated Guided Missile Development Program got another boost last week when the HELINA Anti- Tank missile was successful tested on the ALH Rudra. It was an separation test which was 100% success. This was the first test in which an Indian missile was tested form an Indian platform. A full test will follow soon.
HELINA is an Anti-Tank IIR (Imaging Infra-red) guided missile with 7-8 Kms ranges. Its developed from the land based NAG ant-tank missile.

great news...............................thanks.

 

[Rahul Singh]

It means, canister launcher is ready, propulsion is ready and sometime back it was reported that DRDO has tested modified NAG with LOAL from ground based launcher meaning data link and seeker is also ready. Which crucial subsystem still left to be tested?
-----------
Added later

Since multiple tests of HeliNa has begun and missile should be ready anytime by 2013 and Nag's induction getting delayed by a year, i was wondering won't it be better idea to dump NAG and instead offer land based version of HeliNa as Nag-2/MK-2.

 

[Payeng]

whats the difference between

Agni II and Agni II prime?

improvement on A2P:

-A larger diameter booster stage made of stronger 250-Marging steel, improving fuel loading and fuel mass-fraction.

-Lighter carbon composite motor casing for the second stage, instead of steel casing, improving its mass-fraction.

-Lighter RV, with all carbon composite re-entry heat-shield, multi directional carbon re-entry nose tip and control surfaces.

Now why a 'Prime'?.....other suggested name was the A-II++ , maybe it is a primary TD (not the final TD-missiles in white on orange strip paint scheme) of an advance variant or maybe just a namesake

 

[sayareakd]

why was Agni prime failed so many times??

A2P was tested only once and it failed, it happen all the time with new missile. who told you it was failed many times ???
