Half of India's most potent weapons are still on the drawing board or not ordered.

Samyukta Electronic Warfare System

Samyukta is a mobile integrated electronic warfare system. Touted to be the largest Electronic Warfare System in India, it was developed jointly by DRDO, Bharat Electronics Limited, Corps of Signals of Indian Army. The System is fully mobile and is meant for tactical battlefield use. It covers wide range of frequencies and coverage of Electromagnetic spectrum is handled by the communication segment and the non-communication segment. Its functions include various ELINT, COMINT and Electronic Attack(ECM) activities .

Description

Each System operates on 145 ground mobile vehicles which has three communication and two non-communication segments and can cover an area of 150 km by 70 km. System has capability to surveillance, analysis, interception, Direction finding, and position fixing, listing, prioritising and jamming of all communication and radar signals from HF to MMW.

These electronic warfare systems have the capability to detect electronic support measures detection, provide jamming facility as also electronically counter various surveillance measures. The system combines the advantages of three such electronic warning systems — Tempest used for Air Warfare, Samyukta for Army and Sangraha useful for Navy.

The unique feature of this system was that it integrated two sub-systems of communications warfare or voice and data communications and non-communication warfare or radar systems.

Aatre said electronic warfare enabled a country to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum during a battle. The system did not allow enemy sensors, electronic transmitters and radars to operate by jamming them

EL/M-2083 Aerostat radars

The IAF currently operates two EL/M-2083 Aerostat radars acquired under a $145 million deal with Israel in 2004-2005.

The Indian Navy is set to acquire five EL/M-2083 radars from Israel to fill vital gaps in the coastal security and the IAF four more.

The tethered EL/M-2083 phased array radar is mounted on a blimp that can hover up to 13,000 feet. Developed and manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries' Elta Systems Group (IAI/Elta), the radar is a simpler version of the Green Pine radar, made by IAI and used by the Arrow missile defense system.

Data gathered by the radar is transmitted to a central air defense command & control center where it is used to maintain an extended comprehensive air situation picture.

Each system is reportedly capable of providing 3-D coverage in a radius of 500 km, which is roughly equivalent to the coverage that would be provided by 30 ground based radars.

According to IAI, the system is designed to detect hostile approaching aircraft from long ranges, especially those flying at low altitudes.


Akashdeep Aerostat

Akashdeep Aerostat system has been developed by Aerial Delivery Research & Development Establishment (ADRDE), Agra Cantt, a laboratory under Defence Research & Development organization (DRDO) of India. It was the star exhibit at the 2011 Aero India show.


Description
The Akashdeep aerostat is a medium-sized (35 metres long, 23 metres high) helium-filled balloon with a volume of 2,000 cubic metres tethered to the ground with cables. It can carry a 300 kg payload to an altitude of 1,000 meters. It can survey areas up to 20 km away and with advanced cameras and radar, its range is variously reported as 60 Km or 100 Km. The aerostat can used for surveillance, intelligence, broadcasting communication relay and jamming of electronic systems,

Payload
Akashdeep aerostat system carry gyro-stabilized electro-optic and COMINT (communication intelligence) system for capturing and analyzing all types of communication in air and also have thermal camera for surveillance at night and in low visibility condition. Various other ELINT (electronic intelligence) and RADAR payloads are also being developed indigenously.



Deployment
The Akashdeep aerostat system is expected to be delivered to the armed forces in the near future. The system will be used by Indian defence services, paramilitary forces as well as have civilian applications including disaster management.

]Variant
ADRDE plans to built a second type of aerostat system known as Nakshatra for up to a height of 4500-5,000 meters and having a range variously reported as 200-250 km or 450 km with a payload capacity of 800kg to 1 tonne and 17,000 cubic metre volume.

India developing radar-destroying Anti-Radiation Missile

After the success of Agni-V project, India is developing an Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM) which can hugely multiply the strike capabilities by destroying the enemy's advance warning system.

Production of the ARM, which are among the most advanced missiles, is being undertaken on priority basis by the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), which specialises in the missile development.

Such missiles can be mounted on Sukhoi fighter planes Su-30 MKI, 140 of which have already been acquired by India from Russia and around 100 more are expected to be delivered in due course of time.

These missile can detect a radar by tracking its electro-magnetic radiation and pulses generated, an official told PTI, adding these would be independent of the radar wavelength and be able to destroy it.

Such missiles, currently in use of some major powers like the US, can detect and attack a radar antenna or transmitter with minimal aircrew input.

The proportional guidance system that homes in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile's nose.

The Anti-Radiation Missiles in use by the US Air Force move at the speed of over Mach 2, propelled by a smokeless and solid-propellant rocket motor.

The US Air Force introduced High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles (HARM) on the F-4G Wild Weasel and later on specialised F-16s equipped with the HARM Targeting System (HTS).

Other projects being undertaken on priority basis by the DRDO are Long Range Air-to-Air Missile and Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile.

The flight test and production clearance of Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missiles is also on the cards.

The DRDO is also planning guided flight of Astra Missile from ground and air in the near future.

Operationalisation of the third regiment of BrahMos missile for Army, its integration with Su-30 MKI as also underwater trials from pontoon are also on the priority list.

DRDO is also working on early static validation trials of Pinaka MK-II rocket, with an extended range of 60 kms, along with user trials of its warhead.

The present range of the Pinaka rocket, launched in clusters of 12 from indigenously-built multi-barrel launcher, is 39-40 km in 40 seconds with 1.2 tons of high explosives.

Fitted with a variety of warheads like anti-tank mines and blast-cum-pre-fragmented high explosives, Pinaka can destroy an area of 350 sq kms.

Army has already raised two regiments of Pinaka and more are planned.

Flight trial of 'Prahar' missile as tactical battlefield surface-to-surface weapon system is also in the pipeline.

You forgot one, the Indian people.
You mean the Indian people are a potent weapon?

How?

Well, if all pee together, Pakistan could be flooded. :D

Jokes apart, did you mean 'human resource?'
