AKASH-NG ( next generation )

[power_monger]

Unlike internet fanboy, those users are not going to believe any word from these OEMs without thorough tests.



Certainly, Chinese OEMs have their share of overstating their achievement, but not even close to the level of DRDO. At the best, they only exaggerate their weapons to the level of US while DRDO claims something on par of alien tech.

Not really. DRDO is pretty honest organisation because it has too many enemies inside the nation who would pound on it if any figures are exaggerated.infact due to this fear it had understated the figures many times.

Multiple seekers do home into the target simultaneously

Infact, it should be complementary in nature. As Saraswat had said at the time of Test of Agni IV, 2 guidance system worked in cooperation by complementing each other. I think there is an inbuilt mechanism which decides which guidance is to be used at what time when both the signals are available. both the systems complements each other to improve accuracy.

It seems that it may be using duel pulse motor. Ramjet seems to be missing. this missile must be light in weight.

Modesty is definitely not your forte isn't it

Guess what you dont know about the capabilities Chinese OEMs who only exaggerate to the level of US

Like when the chinese OEM built nuclear submarine sank with all hands at sea and the incident was hushed up like all other incidents.

Let's not even talk about stealing and copy pasting others weapon systems on which one cant even make a claim with a straight face, forget about exaggeration.

India has free press China is a security state so I don't blame you for day dreaming

Hey bro, I don't think this is Akash Ng. Look at the front set of fins. Their shape do not match with the ones on the Akash NG picture in the L&T pic. The one where the Akash NG is besides the Astra missile.

This is the Akash Mk1S. They have displayed that portion of the missile which they build in their company. That's why the Ram jet tubes are missing .

Why in god's name is there a DRDO HPR (High Power Radar) in the same rendering as the Akash NG?

DRDO successfully test fires Akash-1S surface-to-air missile

Publish Date: Mon, 27 May 2019 06:51 PM IST


DRDO on Monday successfully test fired Akash-1S surface-to-air missile defence system.

New Delhi| Jagran News Desk| The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Monday successfully test-fired the Akash-1S surface-to-air (SAM) missile defence system.

The 1S is the new version of the Akash missile which comes fitted with an indigenous seeker. This is the second successful missile test conducted this week.

The Akash system has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) is the production agency.

Akash has already been deployed by IAF at its bases in Gwalior, Hashimara, Tejpur, Jorhat and Pune. The deployment started in 2013

Akash is a potent supersonic mobile multi-directional, multi-target point, area Air Defence system that can simultaneously engage multiple air targets using sophisticated multi-function phased array radars.

The advanced ECCM (Electronic Counter Counter Measures) features provide secure communication links with other Air Defence Command and Control networks to handle the counter electronic warfare scenario

Old Article ,Tells about Advantage of 1S over base version



In a major decision, the defense ministry on Tuesday approved procurement of two regiments of Akash-1S medium-range surface-to-air missile system. A typical Akash regiment consists of 6 squadrons, 84 batteries, and 750 missiles.

The older version of Akash lacks active radar seeker and uses a command guidance system. In command guidance missile is guided through an RF-datalink. The Target and the missile are continuously tracked by fire control radar (FCR). Tracking data is passed to a computer which sends steering commands to the missile via RF link and guides it to an interception point. While command guidance has impressive resistance to jamming, this form of guidance has several problems -

1. Target engagement envelope limited to Line-Of-Sight ( LOS): command guidance requires the target to be in line-of-sight with FCR.
   • If the target dives below radar horizon, radar can no longer guide the missile to it.
   • Even if the target is above radar horizon (low altitude), radar still has to cut through the interference of ground clutter.
2. Susceptibility to anti-radiation missile (ARM) attack: An Anti-radiation missile has an RF receiver in the nose which detects signals emitted by radar and communication system, and guides the missile to emission source. Command guidance requires FCR to continuously track the target and it makes them particularly vulnerable to ARM attacks.

3. A limited number of simultaneous interceptions
4. Active radar seeker (ARSEEK) of Akash-1S mitigates the weaknesses mentioned above. Akash missile equipped with ARSEEK has greater target engagement envelope and enhanced effectiveness against low flying targets. New Akash-1S missile will be far more effective than baseline Akash in mountainous terrain.

Incorporation of ARSEEK will enhance the survivability of FCR against enemy anti-radiation missiles. The Fire control radar will have to be switched 'ON' only during target acquisition and midcourse corrections. This mode of intermittent operation will make it difficult for a hostile anti-radiation missile to target the fire control radar of Akash-1S. Another advantage is that active radar homing seeker reduces the load on the primary fire control system which increases the effectiveness of the missile system against a saturation attack.

Is this active radar seeker an AESA radar seeker?

So when does Production of AKASH-1S commence?

So when does Production of AKASH-1S commence?

I think it's already in production. IA/IAF had already placed orders for the 1S variant!

Why no news mentions of the target? Was it the latest Abhyas drone or the old Lakshya drone? Does anyone here know more details?

Just confirming...
The older Command Guidance System has certain advantages, like resistance to jamming. Did they completely replace it with Active Radar Homing Seeker, or that just got incorporated & only kicks in the terminal phase?

Anti-radiation missiles hat can be used against Akash's radar would have predictable trajectory & can be dealt with proper preparations.
