What do you think, the speed of F-16 or Su is ? Mach 2+ :nono:

Yes the chances of interception will be high- L-band would be a search radar- It would be able to see target where main radar cannot see- and alert the pilot- L-band cannot produce sharp enough bean to do the guidance part- Guidance part can be done by higher frequency radar like X-band or...

I am also a layman- But I will try- senior informed member can add corrections- 1- Depends on jamming type- certain jamming methods like introducing noise is far easier on high frequency-- 2- If the diameter of antenna is the same- naturally the Ku-band have good chance of success but there...

The range at which seeker picks up is too less for stealth- However If we are able to use BVRAAM against stealth aircraft- It wouldn't be stealth anymore- I get your point- we should look for ward to developing high performance AESA seekers with GaN TRMMs in various frequency bands for...

You could be right- I am not so sure about X-band seeker- my assessment is PAD seeker using antenna derived from Tejas slotted planer array MMR and hence retaining the parent frequency band- Usually missiles with large area for seeker antenna like 500mm plus antenna size X-band should be a good...

Every frequency range has their own drawbacks and advantages- The range, detection capability and jammer burnthrough performance of an antenna can be measured in power aperture product- Where power is the transmitted power by antenna and aperture is the crossection area of antenna- Now Given...

Which why MMW is better frequency for picking target at close ranges- now compare that with X-band and Ku-band- usually active-BVRAAMs have Ku-band seeker- but in future they may have MMW- Small antenna size and requirement of high power makes Ku-band preferred choice in BVRAAM- India already...

Best thing would be 5th gen engine from PAK FA program and Israeli 2052 AESA with Indian customization- With missiles like Meteor integrated along with Astra mk 1 and mk 2-

Ku is higher frequency so better target resolution and less prone to jamming or countermeasures- even better is MMW seeker- High frequency seeker however require more power for higher range- X band is good for target acquisition and guidance from fighter aircraft-

The solution here can be GaN based MMW AESA seekers- Please refer to the "EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES" section in the following document- http://www.drdo.gov.in/drdo/pub/techfocus/2008/oct08.pdf It would also help in smart cluster arrangements for tactical battle field missiles-
