DRDO and PSU news and discussion

[Ayushraj]

I have a question.

The SAAW, as the name suggests is an anti airfield weapon. Can it be used in other roles economically and practically as well? For example targeting enemy bunkers, barracks, etc.

@patriots @porky_kicker @Arihant Roy @Chinmoy

Nope it's not economic viable.
A anti airfield bomb has multiple of small bombs inside they spreed out in a massive area to destroy runway.
For a bunker use small precision guided bomb
For a large building use large large precision guided bomb like spice, hammer, etc

 

[Chinmoy]

Can you explain, please?

Economically speaking, a single SAAW could deliver a dozen of bomblets on a area and turn it upside down. Its good against a huge infrastructure like runway.
But when talking of a small size target like a bunker, you need more precise weapon like bunker busters. Now these in itself are not economical as compared to SAAW.
Now theoretically SAAW could be more effective against such bunkers if you could make the bomblets smart and guided. But then it would not be economical. A 500kg or 750 kg guided bunker buster would be more practical and economical in that sense.

Looks like Swathi WLR.

After looking at the comments below the tweet, Swathi WLR is going to Armenia. It also means that, they were never used in the recent conflict. The video is from yesterday.

Press release :-

In yet another milestone, DRDO successfully conducted captive and release trial of indigenously developed Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW) from Hawk-I of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) off the Odisha coast on 21 January 2021.


The smart weapon was successfully test fired from Indian Hawk-Mk132 of HAL. This was the 9th successful mission of SAAW conducted by DRDO till now. It was a text book launch, which met all mission objectives. The telemetry and tracking systems installed at Interim Test Range (ITR), Balasore captured all the mission events.


SAAW is indigenously designed and developed by DRDO’s Research Centre Imarat (RCI) Hyderabad. This is 125 Kg class smart weapon, capable of engaging ground enemy airfield assets such as radars, bunkers, taxi tracks, and runways etc. up to a range of 100 kms. The high precision guided bomb is light weight as compared to weapon system of the same class. The weapon was earlier successfully test fired from Jaguar aircraft.


Dr G Satheesh Reddy, Secretary DDR&D & Chairman DRDO congratulated the teams involved in the successful trial.

QRSAM is a short range SAM system while StarStreak is a MANPADS.
