Seabed array consisting of passive hydrophones, multiple arrays are interlinked via cables to form a networked grid .

Analogue to American fish hook underseas surveillance system though not as sophisticated as the American ones, but will get there someday.

Official name is P216 or something like that

Newer versions r online and active at strategic locations underseas

Hmmm. Thought u said earlier that Rudra M-II is designed to penetrate 2 meters. IIR seeker doesn’t seem to match with such a target.

BHUBANESWAR: Indian Armed Forces scripted another success with the test launch of nuclear capable ballistic missile Dhanush from a Naval warship off Odisha coast as part of a secret mission.
Defence sources said the surface-to surface indigenously developed missile was flight tested in full operational configuration by Strategic Forces Command (SFC) of the Navy from an undisclosed location off Paradip coast on Saturday night.

This was third test of an Indian missile during night in the last one month. Earlier, SFC of the Army had successfully test-fired 350-km range Prithvi-II missile and 700-km range Agni-I in the night.
A defence official said the test of Dhanush has met all the mission objectives. “All the events occurred as expected and were monitored by the range sensors. It was a textbook launch and fantastic mission accomplished,” he said.

While the missile was fired from a warship, another warship provided all logistic support for the test. Dhanush has a strike range up to 350 km and can carry single warhead, conventional or nuclear up to 500 kg. The missile used for the test was selected randomly from the production lot.

Entire flight path of the missile was smooth in accordance with pre-designated coordinates. The missile covered more than 300 km and achieved single digit accuracy. The mission parameters like elevation, trajectory, azimuth, flight path and stage separation were rightly validated.

Developed by DRDO, the 8.53 metre-long missile has a 0.9 diameter and weighs about 4.4 tonne. The single stage missile uses liquid propellant and can be used as an anti-ship weapon as well as for destroying land targets.




Dhanush is under production after its successful completion of developmental trials. The missile has already been inducted into the Armed Forces.

What is so secretive about launching Dhanush missile ?

 

[aarav]

i guess secretive implying " night trials" ,enemy reconnaissance low

Tonbo imaging promahon is a EO / IR command launcher unit for shoulder fired missiles. Integrated with cooled thermal imager, day imager and laser range finding enables lock on to a stationary / moving target with the missile before launch.

Equipped to interact wireless with the EO / IR seeker allows impeccable control of the missile till it hits the target. Its capable of sending the target picture to the seeker to engage before launch and in its terminal phase it can receive the video from the seeker to show target in realtime.

It also interacts with the launcher electronics enabling complete fire control solution in a compact integrated package.

The CLU can also be used as a portable thermal sight independent of the missile launcher.

Is this mpatgm command launch unit ?

Otherwise it does not make sense for tonbo to develop it.

Tonbo imaging EK-Gen2 is a smart thermal weapon sight (STWS) designed as a TI weapon sight with an integrated fire control system. It features integrated laser range finder, meteorological sensors and an integrated ballistic computer for real time computation of the bullet drop.

With an integrated sensor package it dramatically increases hit probability and reduces time used for engagement, which in turn raises the overall effectiveness of the weapon system considerably.

 

[porky_kicker]

I believe this new thermal acquisition system for the flame launcher is also from tonbo , a modification of the promahon system with only the thermal channel retained and with no frills just the bare basis.

Compare the size and the position of the thermal sight

Can someone go to tonbo site

At this link

At the top left there is 2 small thumbnail sized pics and both are hyperlinks ( don't click on it ) and expand the 1st pic and take a screenshot and post it here, i am unable to do so nor able to download it

The first pic is of a atgm labelled AMOGHA LTA which is damn interesting, can't be a mistake and must be possibly related to amogha a ir guided version.

Intelligence & surveillance system by a private company

Many indian private companies make such devices and systems relating to intelligence and surveillance.

The regularly export to African , middle East , south east Asian and Latin countries.

Funny thing Indian intelligence cannot buy them from the same indian companies because of stupid regulations . They usually float shell companies abroad and buy them ( and then smuggle them in most probably )
