Sujav Clusters System

It is a compact communication electronic warfare suit. The system has got direction finding, search and monitoring capabilities covering 30-1000 MHz and jamming in 30-500 MHz frequency range. The system was deployed in J&K by Army and Rajasthan sectors achieving satisfactory performance. Indian Navy has also placed order for the production of 8 such system (called Drishti) for off shore and on shore applications. Indian Army has placed order for 7 Sujav clusters consisting of three Electronic Support Measure (ESM) and one Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) station. One Sujav clusters system has been successfully evaluated in North East and Jammu region

This is Shaurya's trajectory, without BGRV it is impossible to have that range at that altitude.

This is a pure fan boy illustration. The trajectory of Shaurya in its current form is what has been depicted at the altitude of 40km. 200 km altitude range is achieved by IRBM's and ICBM's.

And moreover there is a difference between Hypersonic Glide and Flight. HSTDV is one designed for boosted hypersonic glide and Brahmos 2 is for hypersonic flight just like Zircon and Shaurya.

SHAURYA max range with reduced payload is 1700kms, so it can easily achieve that altitude. ICBMs achieve much higher altitude than the mentioned. HSTDV is a Scramjet vehicle, it doesn't need boost glide to sustain hypersonic flight it has Scramjet propulsion for that , boost glide is development on existing RV, HSTDV is a concept to prove the hypersonic sustained flight for 32 seconds at 20kms of altitude, zircon is an hypersonic cruise missile so as BrahMos 2, Shaurya has Ballastic glide reentry vehicle, like Wu14 from China. And the reference for the above pic is from DRDO.

India has started work on a new Submarine Launched Cruise Missile in December 2017. Rs 981 crore allocated for the program that is to be completed by 2022, @nsitharaman informs parliament.


The newest DRDO program to get government sanction is - Dhruvastra - a new Air to Surface Missile Projected to be ready by 2021, allocated Rs 66.74 crore.


DRDO has also started work on a new Ground Based High Power Microwave (HPM) Directed Energy Weapon System. Project sanctioned for Rs 180 crore with a June 2022 deadline.

Which DRDO technical publication they are talking about?

And Indian Defence Review and Wikipedia? Another two fan boy site.

And you are quoting a publication of 2011, means written in a period of 2008 to 2010.

You have any idea what is a Scramjet.

I do have the very idea of SCRAMJET tech and about boost glide vehicles. You want to discuss it further? We do have a thread for Hypersonic vehicles here. Lets go there and not derail this thread. Else you could PM me too.

I think HeliNa missile launcher was named Dhruvastra or is it a separate air to surface missile given DRDO has serious naming problems with their systems. AEW&C, quadcopter & Network Traffic Analysis system developed by DRDO all have the same name I.e Netra.

Then how did you quoted Scramjet as boost glide vehicle.
