akash can be carried around in a tatra truck and launched at any place.Only limitation is that at the time of launch it has to be stationary only.Once launched vehicle can move ahead to any place.

had heard on this from saurav jha,DRDO is in advance stages of deisgn. This missile(QRSAM) has potential to grab huge orders once inducted. Even though it is the ballistic missiles which have given fame to DRDO,its the tactical missiles which will get huge orders and increase DRDO reputation...

We have Astra Missile. Astra mk-2 will have range of 35-40 kms when launched from ground. why not use Astra..

I dont know why,but as per what i read in news articles,vehicles need to be in stationary position at the time of firing missiles.could be accuracy or control issues. If i am wrong,do correct me.

Akash was never designed for navy.Akash has a problem that missile cannot be fired on move. And being heavy 720 kgs,it is almost ruled out for navy usage.

DRDO baiters will have tough time if they enter this thread:rofl:

If you see the targets and their altitudes(especially the ones at just 35 m height),it looks like they are checking probable defense against cruise missiles.When Nirbhay is developed fully, i think akash will be tested against Nirbhay(actual target).

Indian Army conducted successful low altitude near boundary trial of Akash missile on 18 June 2014 from the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Balasore. The trial was last among the validation trials being carried out by Army on the first-off production models of Akash supersonic missile. The...

BVR missiles are generally fired in couples or triplets to increase the kill rate. The On board seeker is designed to take over the target even if the link command gets jammed in between.

Maitri project was selected during 2011. As far as i know Astra had severe weight issues during 2011.It weighed almost 300 Kgs which posed huge doubts on its usage.I think around 2013 they made several modifications to Astra and now it weighs around 150Kgs which is quite acceptable. So we need...

Perhaps he is referring to the Word 'Vintage design' used by Twinblade for Akash.

One more question,I saw this comment in BRF forum which mentions on the advantage of Akash without active seeker.What do you think on this? The Akash missile completely guided by the Radar, without any active guidance of its own. This allows it greater capability against jamming as the...

Isnt Astra planned for Induction by 2016? Sources in DRDO seem to be quite happy with progress of Astra AAM and are confident on its induction by 2016. If so do you think Maitri project is worth the money? Once astra is inducted,dont you think it would be quite easy to convert it into a SAM...

I dont think our seeker technology is far lagging. Then how does our ballistic missile defence program work? How does our PAD interceptors work?

Refer post 503 posted by archer.. The Akash was originally planned to have an ARH system but it was dropped when the performance really didnt justify the investment! The missile's CG system proved accurate enough to guarantee a kill in the presence of heavy ECM in trials against the IAF...

Taken from wiki,Astra has on-board ECCM capability allowing it to jam radar signals from an enemy surface-to-air battery, ensuring that the missile is not tracked or shot down.

Twinblade, Does Astra has active homming systems to avoid jamming? Can technologies can be shared between Astra and Akash especially when it comes to interceptors?

Twinblade,Thanks for the explanation.

Can you explain the above statement? And why is that hit to kill is not final target of these test?
