Seeker/sensors are either pre-programmed or fed test coordinates mimicking a target (here, an incoming BM) to validate missile kinematics and performance.

Basically saying the missile wasn't tested on an actual ballistic missile but a "simulated" one.

Given that the land-based AAD/Ashwin ballastic missile interceptor has been tested and validated multiple times against a modified Prithvi missile mimicking a SRBM, all of which have been successful, I see no point in the Naval variant of the AAD being tested against an electronic target, unless its significantly differs from its land based counterpart.

Land based ABM: A still stable platform from where an interceptor is launched in real world scenario.

Naval ABM: A moving platform from where an interceptor is launched in real world scenario. Moreover the target acquisition is also done from a the same platform. Again target acquisition and ranging from an unstable naval platform is altogether different ball game then doing the same from a ground based system.

So in all probability, the test was against an electronic target.

DRDO developing DURGA II laser weapon for land, naval, air use?

A directed-energy weapon damages or destroys its target using focussed energy

"The classified project, dubbed DURGA II (Directionally Unrestricted Ray-Gun Array), will see the Indian Army receive the 100-kilowatt, lightweight directed-energy system, a service official told Defense News. A senior DRDO scientist said on condition of anonymity that the DURGA II program is currently in the concept stage. He added that the organization is developing and improving various laser-generation techniques using solid state, fiber and chemical lasers for defensive and offensive use.


The scientist also said DURGA II is to be integrated with land-, sea- and air-based platforms," Defense News reported.

The Defense News report noted the Laser Science and Technology Centre at Delhi was the lead laboratory in developing laser weapons

So when you've already realised the need for an upgraded version and also planned for one, even before the prototype development of the normal version then why not make the required upgrades on the drawing board itself and directly go for the production of upgraded version!!

Don't know why they love this Mk-1, Mk-1A, Mk-2 thing so much

If they can make the mk2 first ,then there is no question if mk1 ,mk1a
They don't have the capability....So mk1, mk1a ,mk2

Tapas and nirbhay might not be as successful as they thought ...but there later version s will be better....As they know the know how

I don't think so because 100 kW means bigger system like 100 kW "Adithya" gas dynamic laser, with supporting vehicle's, this look much smaller system similar to the one we mounted on tata lpta 705 against drones recently

 

[Photon]

Look like variant of same hard kill system used against drone!!

US was developing a drone for its military by the name RQ-1. It was supposed to be the best reconnaissance and surveillance drone for tactical application. Suddenly out of nowhere they realised the need to arm the drones and in that initial prototype - LSP phase itself the whole program was redesigned...the RQ-1 became MQ-1 Predator.
Same was the case with F-14; conceptualized as a simple fleet defence fighter but when introduced then it had become fleet air-superiority fighter.
Same was the case with XM-1 and M-1.

and the know why (which is like know what not to do)

No.

DURGA II is a 100 kW system against this 30 kW system. This is an uprated system of land based 10 kW DEW. This is having an approximate range of 5 km against soft skinned targets.
