    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    Any body can take snapshots from the DRDO video of the DACS ( divert and altitude control system ) test , it is very interesting different from US ones.

    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    Or maybe the ASAT can be fired from the same. Placing adaptors inside the cannister will easily allow the ASAT to be fired plus the A5 cannister has a integral gas generator at the bottom if I am correct to eject the article , so minimum tweaking needed to cater for gas pressure required to...

    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    Even indranil @BR was unable to identify what the 8 vents/ports were for . As for the variable thrust of DCS , watch the video again . You are falling for a optical illusion of sorts. Divert thrusters provide ON/OFF thrust of predetermined thrust levels , which is different from variable...

    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    To sum it up in simple words The Divert control system (DCS) provides lateral motion for the KKV. (Here the 4 thrusters on the midsection of PDV stage) And the Altitude control system (ACS) provides angular control to stabilize seeker pointing and control divert direction.(Here the 8 thrusters...

    http://delhidefencereview.com/2019/04/03/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-pdv-mk-ii-indias-satellite-killer/ In the above article by indranil , he wonders about the purpose of the 8 vents/ports at the base of the PDV stage ( 1st stage ), just above the 2nd stage interstage. AFAIK those 8 ports...

    Seriously ? Laser weapons are some wonder weapon which somehow manage to bend the laws of physics ? And importantly LOS ( line of sight ) issues in the case of drowning su30 all the way from Tibet ? Wow ! forget about the existence of such operational lasers Seriously bro. Let me ask you...

    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    That can be done by ground based EW systems . Downlink / uplink channel of satellites can be hacked and denied , even some private companies in India have the capability to do so. So child's play for government agencies if the conditions are right to do so. Just saying have this picture of a...

    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    Yes , though possibly walkarounds are ( should be) available. Don't have necessary in depth knowledge to guarantee , since technology is always WIP. And AFAIK DEW systems which is based on neutral beam particle technology are immune to some extent to atmospheric breakdown. KALI is not a...

    Literature mentions slant range Anyways why does it matter ? Makes no difference since in look up mode this range will translate into vertical range

    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    Yes you are correct , There is the phenomenon of " atmospheric breakdown " due to creation of plasma / ionisation in the flight path of the beam through the atmosphere. Consider it as a rough example of increase in resistance due to heating when current moves through a conductor. Not even...

    DRDO swordfish radar with range of ~ 1500km was used to track the satellite during ASAT test Pic was previously posted by me in DRDO thread a month or so ago.

    Pics of launcher may be released , but video I highly doubt.

    Let me add the KV is fully autonomous interms of maneuverability once ejected , it has integrated thrusters for end game maneuvering in space independent of final release trajectory.

    indian has the capability to design killer nano bots(satellites). isro has made ion thrusters , we just need to miniaturize them. high performance lithium ion batteries we need to work more on this. and a lot of coding and trajectory calculations, we r great in this. size of the killer nano...

    India's Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    i have a idea how about packing in nano satellites into a regular communication /remote sensing satellite. if we need to knock out a satellite, the mother satellite will release the nano satellite killer which will be then maneuvered to close proximity of the target ie on to a collision course...
