I was thinking along the same line. Although, you cannot help but think that the text of the article is quite ambiguous :) They should have specified in the body of the article too that it was fired from Arihant.

The headline says that the missile was fired from Arihant but the actual news item states that it was fired from an underwater platform (pontoon ?) --- India successfully test-fires nuclear-capable K-4 ballistic missile from INS Arihant...

Finally ................................... :)

It looks like K4 test will happen in about a week. --- NEW DELHI: The test of India's most potent nuclear deterrence missile in the Bay of Bengal which will demonstrate a survivable second strike capability has now been scheduled to mid December, sources aware of latest developments have...

What if there is a cyclone during the war, will K4 not be able to operate?

Of course, there is no such thing as 100% secure system. Your job is to make it difficult for snoopers. So that by the time they crack your encryption, data has lost its value. It is better for you that they get a partial fraction of partial data than the whole data. That is why a distributed...

If I were designing a secure communication channel, I would make sure that the channel would consist of an array of frequencies. The entire transmission would not take place on one frequency alone. During the transmission, the channel would shift from one frequency to another. The process of...

As far as entropy for developing sound encryption is concerned, India should be using cellular automaton or genome of an organism that is not a public knowledge. This will make it much harder for someone to break the encryption.

For a ballistic missile, it absolutely makes no difference whether the missile is fired at nigh or day. The target acquisition is based on the velocity, the altitude and the angle. For a cruise missile, night and day may make a difference as they use photo sensing technologies; I am not sure...

Interesting that the missiles have night and day trials :)

Interesting! The K4 test turned into a A2 test. I wonder what happened to the K4 test.

Do you happen to have a link to some literature on this?

Will Arihant (SSBN) need to surface in order to fire K5? Or, can it do it while submerged?

I am aware that K5 is launched from submarines and A5 is launched from land but what are the technical differences if there are any?

Question for gurus: What is the difference between A5 and K5?
