    India successfully test-fires supersonic interceptor missile

    S500 http://www.military-today.com/missiles/s500.htm The S-500 is a new long-range anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic missile system, that is currently being developed in Russia. Development of this air defense system commenced in 2002. It is being developed by Almaz-Antey company. This system is...

    India successfully test-fires supersonic interceptor missile

    question is correct that's why S500 is being developed. The engagement with the target happens before it reaches it's terminal phase.

    S400 is not an ICBM, but ICBM killer, because it can intercept targets launched 2000kms away as the reation time is less and detection is wide. Because every ICBM has a typical and its own trajectory.

    The range of 2000km means. It can intercept ICBM/IRBM which has range of 2000km. The only way till now , is kill the missile before its terminal phase.

    If the radar tracks the RV well then it can may or may not kill. Not necesarily utilizing it's own radar but calculating the most probable path of RV in microseconds and coming on it's way. Rest is luck! That's why kill probabilty is important here. India should try the ABM hitting an Agni...

    It may or may not intercept RV. It is based on it's probabilty to kill and capability of homing radar. But It itself will not fly at Mach 14.

    During my signal processing lecture we dealth with all this max target velocities. It is the velocity of object which has to be targetted. This is the same term when we operate radars. Because at those speeds radar has to be operated correctly to get the process gain accurately, which is...

    that is the target's velocity NOT S400's. At mach 14 you cannot be so accurate that you hit a target. That's why CEP of ICBM is always in meters.

    it can be done, but i doubt. If the budget will be allocated for experiment.

    S400 is a requirement because we don't have any missile to fill the gap for the next half decade. If works starts now then we can expect something in 2020.

    very serious modification will be required for Shaurya.. Like sudden de acceleration without damaging the sophisticated electronics and the body, Mach 7 to Mach 5/4. You can increase the altitude, that's not a problem. Change the fuel and use more composites. Reduce the payload. Do few tests. ;)...

    India successfully test-fires supersonic interceptor missile

    The max flight velocity of s400 is mach 5, and AAD is 4.5 not a big difference. The point is not about it's speed, but only accuracy , reaction time and detection at certain speed. I would say opposite , keep it hypersonic in mid flight and reduce the speed in terminal phase, so that accuracy...

    India successfully test-fires supersonic interceptor missile

    it will be too costly weapon doing nothing but similar what current ABM is doing or SAM at much lower cost. What you need is accuracy and altitude. Shaurya's limited to 40km only. It can engage targets below that but then you have to replace it with homing radar which requires a lot of power to...

    Any missile test can be tracked so it will be useless to say that. It can simply appear on radar two trajectory colliding.

    I will be more satisfied if the AAD PAD gets success in intercepting the Agni series of missiles and a qasi Ballistic Saurya , in Terminal Phase. Till then it will not be in operational status.

    I was talking about infra red heat signature through infra red camera. Which happens to be black in this. What I mentioned is revolving around the speed of the target. Except Nasr all Paki or Chinese warhead will have velocity close to 6-7km/s where as dhanush would travel far less than that...

    it happened at low altitude. Endo atmospheric collision. Only pirthvi 3 is two staged hence only this one releases the warhead. And this wahead does not travel at 6-7 km/s It is only agni whose warhead is released at greater heights and enters the atmosphere at 5-6km/s. So they should test...

    it is possible that they have tested against the cruise missile. If you take a screen schot of the video of the target there is infra signature but as of a cruise missile not a BM. So if it is official one or even not. They might have succeeded engaging the CM but at perticular height not earth...
