Agni V Missile

[Godless-Kafir]

Just wait till they get all three stage motors of composite material, MIRV increase weight and drag so we need more powerful version of Awith same range.

We are talking of 2020 here but ya the range will be 12kms by then.

MIRV wont increase the overall weight of Agni-5 but the increased weight will have to be trade off with the total warheads payload.

12Kms

not me saying that it is DRDO chief, he says that if 3 X 400 kg warhead for A5 means that its payload weight would be 1200kg and what was tested was for 1000kg. So it will increase the weight, plus the design of the cone will also change.

Also the theory you are quoting needs similar mode of travel in all angles say vacuum or homogenous atmosphere.

In realty neither do missile follow the perfect trajectory nor the homogenous mode of travel.

That is true but at any guess the 45deg angle only increases range even if you compensate for atmospheric drag because at 65 deg the missile does not traverse much in space. It reenters with minimum distance traveled compared to 45deg.

Shaurya is a quasi ballistic missile. You can have one

But why quasi ballistic only??

The drag will not only reduces the speed but will heat up the missile surface to an extent that re entry will become highly complex.

There are so many factors associated with missile trajectory selection.

wait till this

is put like this in ground without the structure surrounding it

it can be easily hidden in hut

what if missile gains 900km in height at 45 degree angel? it won't cause drag or anything but it will just increase range

Then the missile has to traverse a lot which will either need more fuel......means more wieght.....means better engine means a new missile.

even agni 4/agni 2 prime reached 900KM in height

it already has better engine then A3 so it is new missile.

Offcourse it is.

But I am talking about scenario deemed by UTK. In that case a new missile has to be made other than Agni-5.

even agni 4/agni 2 prime reached 900KM in height

But they don't follow 45 degree projection. Do they??

 

[sayareakd]

something for you guys to think about. Check this from my blog

now compare this with table

 

[Godless-Kafir]

The drag will not only reduces the speed but will heat up the missile surface to an extent that re entry will become highly complex.

There are so many factors associated with missile trajectory selection.

I am sure the scientist considered all the factors, the carbon composite heat shields have been proven to with stand high temperatures. However you have a point, a 45deg angle launch will reveal how much the technology is reliable.

P.S. Look at the above image of sayas. Agni3 itself has gone 5,000kms and 60deg is an endo-atmospheric trial.

 

[Godless-Kafir]

So saya a 45deg on Agni-3 would mean 5,000km? Then 45deg on agniV surely is 9,000kms.

yes, close enough.. remember a5 reached only 600km in height during test.. it can also reach 900KM in height

why not
