#DRDO successfully conducts maiden flight test of Phase-II #BallisticMissileDefence interceptor AD-1 missile with large kill altitude bracket from Abdul Kalam Island, #Odisha

They don't claim that because they have an extremely large area to monitor, with multiple adversaries spread out unevenly across the world (India doesn't have this problem -- with the exception of China's 2nd strike capability) making tracking and detection a herculean task. They are also using...

That seems like a way too complex a system to operate.

India had expressed an interest in THAAD many years ago. But at the time, the Americans were not amenable at all, because our own ballistic missile defence programme was at a nascent stage. But now that the PDV has matured, THAAD is on 'offer'.

On the contrary, a desi SBIRS would be terrific. A group of 7-10 satellites with IR sensors continuously watching pakistan from all angles will more or less guarantee early detection of paki BMs. NISAR I think is a radar based satellite, meant for environmental purposes as opposed to the...

We'll need faster hypersonic missiles and something akin to a ship based anti ballistic missile system(AEGIS like) if we are to increase our chances of interception. ABMs(similar to the Standard series)on board destroyers patrolling the Arabian sea while keeping a continuous eye on the pakis...

Can someone enlighten us as to what new subsystems and/or parameters were tested in this particular AAD test? Also are there any plans for SBIRS like early IR detection satellites? And can the Insat series satellites be used for the same?
