No , three tracking ships is not required .

Nobody knows its correct diameter but it significantly larger than 1.3 meters . In 2013 http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/Longest-Range-Ballistic-Missile-All-Set-for-Undersea-Launch/2013/12/10/article1937718.ece K 4 : Diameter 1.3 meters , Height 12 M and Weight-17 Tonne ...

It was a known fact that the launch tube on Arihant will be 2.4 meters diameter and will be containing 3 X 0.74 meter sub tubes for K-15 or 1 K-4 depends . Sagarika and Shourya are both same program ( K-15) . They have been tested many times in early 2000s on land but was first underwater...

I don't want to discus it either but it is imperative to understand what KALI was built for as there is a lot of dis information about it in various forums. Anyway lets get back to K-4.

Its most likely usage is flash radiography for SSP (Stockpile stewardship program) something like this but more complicated This is an implosion pit for implosion type nuclear weapon which we have

This is the most important job of KALI system . It will be used for non-destructive testing of systems. I quote the research paper " Intense power MW-GW pulsed power electron accelerators have a wide range of applications in the field of thermonuclear fusion, inertial confinement, laser...

From the looks of it KALI-30 GW uses repetitive MARX system using magnetic switches while KALI-5000 uses spark gap switches . So Kali-30 Gw is an upgrade of KALI-5000. Flash radiography will be used in stockpile stewardship program which will be done by BARC not by DRDO . How does 123 agreement...

Unless those future imaginary destroyers are going to remain in our stockpile stewardship labs then no.

No , KALI-5000 has been inducted . BARC has been developing two types of accelerator in this category, namely single and repetitive shot types. Kali 200, Kali 1000 and Kali 5000 belong to the single shot and the Linear Induction Accelerator (LIA) to the repetitive type. Kali 200 has beenhanded...

Typical DDM whoever wrote this doesn't understand high energy physics The simulated frequency spectrum of KALI-1000. A typical phase-space plot in KALI-1000. Courtesy- D. Biswas, R. Kumar and R.R. Puri, Phys. Plasmas 10 (2003) 4521. R.Kumar, R.R. Puri and D Biswas, Phys. Plasmas, 11...

I think K-15 was first tested in 2008 though can't confirm whether it was underwater pontoon or not but I think it was http://www.ibnlive.com/videos/full/india/k-15-test-fired-us-missile-test-283836.html It has been part tested 5 times before 2008 like powerful gas generator systems must be...

Who said so ?? KALI is a Virtual Cathode Oscillator which can be used for High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation technique . It is created to be used as a generator for flash X-rays which allow for an ultra-fast motion picture to be constructed showing the details of the implosion of the...

Doesn't mean they can shoot them .

Even if flying depressed trajectories it still has an apogee of 10s of kilometers which makes it visible to HF OTH Radars which uses ionosphere back scatter plus countries also have space based infrared system which can pick out the ballistic missile in its boost phase itself .

I did not get you please rephrase ...

No to reduce time of flight that's why its known as Short time of Flight system obviously the constraint is reduced range . Why do we need to reduce payload though we can do so. K 4 SLBM will have a much higher speed than any cruise missile its max speed will be around Mach 15 . It can carry a...

I think its a good idea converting a few missiles with MarV capability but it has to be Land based system as opening the missile hatch of our SSBN and launching a SLBM with ASBM role will increase our acoustic signature is not good. We also need to solve our capability of target tracking and...

Yup , but range , payload and trajectory are usually changed for optimal solution .

In January 2007 china conducted an ASAT test with HTK (Hit to kill) or kinetic energy kill vehicle as part of 863 program at an apogee off 860 kms and mass 750 kgs the vehicle was traveling at 8000 m /sec in one velocity vector and I am not even adding the opposite satellite velocity vector to...
