INDIA : Capability to neutralise enemy satellites proved

[p2prada]

YAL-1 is not easy, it's the most difficulty tech among the interception techs.

The Laser itself is not the problem and neither is the principle it is based on. The electricity required to power the laser is the problem. If the power part is taken care of it will solve troubles on all aircraft in the world on a variety of other problems too.

BVR is impossible because the acceleration is pretty high, the ballistic missile will soon exceed both speed limit and altitude limit of BVR missile.

You are obviously living in the dark ages.

Something for you to get started on;
http://www.stratfor.com/memberships/106253/analysis/u_s_military_successful_boost_phase_intercept
A successful boost-phase ballistic missile intercept by a modified Sidewinder missile was carried out Dec. 3

Boost phase interception can be carried out from low altitudes as well.

In fact ascent phase interception is nearly unpractical unless against missiles from small country like N.Korea.

Boost phase interception is possible only using air borne platforms. It is expensive, but is very easy as we see from the 2007 American test where a WVR missile took down a missile.

Terminal interception is the easies because you just need a SAM+, many counties can make SAM, but only two or three can make KKV.

AAD is a KKV. So add India to the mix as well, if you haven't already. Our very first model is already better than both Arrow-2 and Patriot-2.

KKV = Kinetic Kill Vehicle. It is a name for a SAM with hit to kill capability. Even your Anti satellite system "KKV" is a SAM with hit to kill capability.

Middle-course interception can protect thousands square kilometer or several counties, while terminal only can protect dozens of square kilometer.

Yes. And that's the reason Mid course interception is easier than terminal interception. Reaction time.

Also a mid course interception system could have a capability that would be twice that of terminal phase intercept systems and not the huge difference that you are trying to suggest.

S-400/500 are common SAM or SAM+ they can't operate above the atmosphere, in fact Russia's mid-course defense system A-135 uses explosive warhead, not KKV.

The A-135 info is quite old, so we don't know how far Russia has progressed with it. They have anti-satellite systems based on Mig-31s since the 80s.

The AAD uses a Radio frequency seeker for interception. The Chinese KKV uses IR seeker for interception. Huge difference in the two technologies used. The new Indian PDV will use a Radio freq seeker as well as an IR seeker for it's KKV capability. You could say our missiles are better protected from counter measures too.

Well, make short of long, China is following the USA way, laser weapon will be equipped on ships soon, then a couple years for a YAL-1, THAAD is being developed with Russia (rumored). But you are trying to apply SAM+ to everywhere.

Not true. We are planning on employing Laser for interception. We are planning on employing laser for use in Armour Protection Systems as well. It will be demonstrated on Arjun 2.

The best BMD in existence today are all SAM based. Even the one single BMD test that you had was based on a SAM.

Only the Americans have a system that is currently undergoing prototype testing and are still some years away from fielding a decent system. The Indian and Chinese Laser BMD systems are still a decade or 2 away from real world applications.

We are already nearing the testing phase for our own version of THAAD.

 

[Minghegy]

Laser armor protection on tank is impossible due to the power supply, T99 already equipped a laser defense only for enemy's optical devices and eyes.

Honestly I know the reasons of 1962, you do tend to highly underestimate the Chinese.

 

[p2prada]

25-100 KW is not much for a tank when the engine itself is rated 1.2 MW and also when the FMBT is set to have a gas turbine power plant.

1962? What's that go to do with BMD?

I don't underestimate the Chinese and many of my posts already indicate that. But at the same time I don't overestimate the Chinese as well. If you read up on some recent threads on 1962 you will know my stand. I only have respect for proven systems, not something that is yet to be properly tested.

Your indigenous BMD is just starting tests while we are on the cusp of completing tests on phase 1 and already working towards phase 2. It actually suffices to say in a few years we would already have surpassed the Israelis, if we haven't already. The AAD is already superior to the current Arrow-2 system and is as good or better than the Arrow-3 system which is still in the works.

Even PAC-3 was rejected officially because the AAD was seen to be a better system.

^^ Excellent article Nitesh.

I would quote two paragraphs from there to highlight that India can indeed claim reasonable ASAT capability despite not having actually destroyed a satellite:

"A missile defense program can very easily be used as a technology demonstartor program for an ASAT capability," said Victoria Samson, director of SWF's Washington office.

The United States demonstrated this in 2008 when they fired a modified SM-3 missile from a Navy ship and destroyed a military satellite named USA 193 in orbit.

Said that, it is important to understand that India's ASAT capability is a consequence of India's interceptor technologies. So, assuming India's interceptor technologies are good, ASAT can be reasonably assumed to be good as well.

Thanks for the heads up. So you are no expert. So quit pretending to be one.

Here are a few links. Please visit at your leisure:
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~nando/smc/index.html
http://www.amazon.com/Sequential-Practice-Statistics-Engineering-Information/dp/0387951466 (you probably won't get a free PDF "legally", but in PRC it's a whole different story)

Also, look-up:

• Kalman Filter
• Particle Filter
• Markov Chain

No need to get into the equations. Focus on the motion model portion and the descriptions. That will give you a fair idea how prediction of a trajectory is done when tracking moving targets. Once you understand the basics, you will realise that there is not much difference between exo-atmospheric and endo-atmospheric interception.

Woww Sir..your knowledge is commendable & very impressive, by any standards...thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Your experts only fool your people, such words just is a joke for foreign military experts.

Like the Chinese astronauts transmission on his experience from outer space, even before the satellite was launched?

Whoops! China touts success of space launch before takeoff
...A nice little story hit the Web Thursday talking up China's long-awaited space mission and even including detailed dialogue between the astronauts, according to the Associated Press. Only problem was that the spacecraft hadn't even left the ground at the time the story came out.

The story was published by Xinhua, China's official news agency, in an apparent moment of clairvoyance. It was taken down after being up on Xinhua.com most of the day, the AP said....

The Shenzhou 7 mission, which is expected to feature China's first-ever spacewalk, did in fact take off successfully later Thursday (at least we think so--articles on the launch all cite Xinhua as their source).

But let's hope Xinhau at least comes up with some fresh quotes from the astronauts, maybe even ones that were actually said.

Nice article I hope it happens,they are twisting in their undies because they could not stop India if it is true.
