BEL TRINETRA MRWS (MULTI PURPOSE REFLEX WEAPON SIGHT)

Trinetra is Indian designed reflex sight which is a parallax free , compact , light weight and rugged weapons sight for instant target acquisition.
A highly precise reticule , superimposed on the target scene , acts as an aim point for accurate firing. Fired has got the advantage of keeping both eyes open , during firing with Trinetra
To further enhance the capabilities of soldier and wept during CQB or Night, Trinetra is equipped with in built visible (red) and invisible (IR) laser spot designator which makes Trinetra an all in one versatile sight for all possible combat scenarios.

• Fast target acquisition
• Accurate aiming with precise reticule
• Large window for easy ops
• Visible laser spot designator
• Invisible laser spot designator
• LDR for auto intensity control
• Zeroing mechanism
• Brightness adjustment
• Low light / Night modes
• Facilitates both eyes shooting.

@Amrk already pointed out the tech aspect. One more point is, we could have both active as ell as passive RADAR in an AGM. Now whether NGARM would have a active one in it or just IR along with Passive RADAR is to see. But without a sure shot terminal guidance, it is not good enough for moving targets.

One more thing. TAR or FCR do have minimum maneuverability with their RADARS propping up. So the best way out fro them is to shut down the RADAR and deploy ECM.

But as @Amrk pointed out before, the radar is going to be readily visible on IIR seeker, so ECM is not likely to save a radar. So IIR has an advantage. Now here is where IIR seeker tech developed for Nag might come in handy.

Going the active seeker way is more trouble than it is worth IMHO. No idea what the foreign ARM use though.

It varies and depends on the designer. Each one does have their Pros and Cons. ARM like HARM does make use of Active Radar Homing in terminal phase.

250kg HSLD

450kg HSLD

500kg General Purpose Bomb

Precision Guided 500Kg HSLD Bomb


*These high speed low drag (HSLD) bombs, designed by ARDE, can utilize two types of tail units to cater to different mission profiles –
1.a retarder tail unit (RTU) for low-level bombing missions, and
2.a ballistic tail unit (BTU) for high altitude runs.

Precision Guided 500Kg HSLD Bomb

What is the range and accuracy? Also, which seeker is it using?

 

[porky_kicker]

What is the range and accuracy? Also, which seeker is it using?

Standoff range for the bomb is 30 km when released from a height of 10 km.
and nearly 13.5 km when dropped from an altitude of 2 km.

it also has a ±30 degrees off boresight release capability.

CEP <30M using only GPS-INS

CEP <3m using SAL seeker in terminal phase

Adrushy MK-I anti tank mine

it is first indigenously developed antitank influence munition, which is India's answer to the increasing threat caused by the MBTs of the nineties. With the introduction of this munition with shaped-charge and magnetic-cum-seismic influence fuze, a new dimension has been given to the Indian capabilities. This is simple in handling and is user-friendly. This munition provides full-width attack capability against the moving tanks unlike the conventional pressure-actuated munitions, hence more lethal. This munition consists of a magnetic sensor to detect the vehicle in the proximity. To make the munition more difficult to breach by the magnetic signature duplicator, seismic-cum-magnetic mode of operation is provided. Tank trawl discrimination has been incorporated. Being a sophisticated munition, self-neutralisation has been incorporated with reusable feature. Flexibility has been provided for selection of the self-neutralisation period depending o the tactical requirement of the munition field. This munition is safe to handle and also during laying, as it consists of electro-mechanical safety device with 1 h arming delay. This munition is both waterproof and shockproof. This munition is indomitable with capability of armour penetration 90 mm causing K kill.

Technologies established during the development of the store are passive magnetic sensor to provide fullwidth attack capability; smart fuze with field-settable SN period up to 160 days; and tank trawl discrimination capability, safety and arming device (elctromechanical timer), antitilt device, armour penetration up to 90 mm through shapedcharge warhead.

Adrushy MK-II anti tank mine

Another good example of the sensored smart munition is antitank Adrushy MK-II. Technology breakthrough has been achieved by developing active sensor based on the smart fuze which is brain of the Adrushy munition MK-II. This munition discriminates the tank-trawl/ plough, track and wheeled vehicles, also has survival capability against blast of CLMC (V) and 100 per cent performance against tanks. The state-of-the-art fuze has been developed consisting of active sensor and microcontroller-based signal processor. The active sensor consists of a set of transmitter and receiver coils, initially in balanced condition. When tank passes over it, the balance gets disturbed and in turn generates voltage across the receiver coil. This signal forms the signature of the target. The signature collection was done through the field trials. The software has been developed for analysing the signature and for taking appropriate decision for firing the munition. This makes the fuze smart.

Technologies established during the development of the store are: (a) active sensor based on induction balance principle, and (b) smart fuze microcontroller-based software to determine the exact instant of firing under tank, to provide discrimination between track and wheeled vehicles, and survival against CLMC(V).

remotely delivered munitions for Grad and Pinaka rockets

Remote delivery systems deploy large number of scatterable munitions from the air, which automatically activate as these hit the ground. Even these smart munitions are indispensable weapons of war. Under this category of antitank remotely delivered sub-munitions for 122 mm rocket and Pinaka rocket have been developed and are under evaluation phase.
This sub-munition consists of miniature passive magnetic sensor for detection of the vehicle which provides full-width attack capabilities. Electronic timer generates the set SD period. As per Geneva protocol, a self-deactivation facility has also been provided as a backup. Vertical landing is ensured with the help of pyrocutter device and 6 legs arrangement. Handling and operational safety has been provided through safety arming device.

Awesome.....

One day 1, I'd love to see Pruthvis destroying enemy transportation infra and airbases. Thus crippling it's abilities to wage war.

Fuel Air Explosive Mine Clearing System

The fuel air explosive mine clearing system is projected by a rocket on to the mine field using tubular launcher from a safe stand-off to create safe lane for vehicles. It consists of the following subsystems: Extendable probe for required stand-off to warhead; switching unit acting as impact fuze; fuel canister with central burster charge. It carries fuel for aerosol formation; grenade ejection unit consisting of ejectable HE filled grenades for detonation of aerosol; rocket motor for achieving desired range; retarding tail unit with parachute achieving desired terminal parameters; and an electronic delay unit for providing electrical pulse as per sequence of operation.

The extendable probe of FAE mine clearing system gets the switching unit armed on impact on ground. This energises the explosive train leading to the formation of aerosol and subsequent detonation. The blast generated by the system clears pressure susceptible anti-tank mines in the circular area around the impact point.
