A 'nuclear thermal rocket' might work within the atmosphere, but will not work in a vacuum for 'interplanetary travel'.
Edit: earlier misread you

most of the material states.. they are meant for inter planetary purpose only as alternative to chemical rocket

i dont think the poster is claiming otherwise.. there too its mentioned.. its for inter planetary purpose only. Though name has rocket in it-- they mean engine based on nuclear thermal propulsion
I am saying that 'nuclear thermal propulsion' WILL NOT WORK for interplanetary travel - as there's vacuum between planets.
Nuclear thermal propulsion works by heating the air sucked in from the front, expanding it and thrusting it out at the other end.

MLPGM 10kg warhead

Afaik multiple MLPGMs will be carried by the mother missile for dispersal over the target area. Kind of like a cluster bomb

Seriously with 10 kg shaped charged warhead what are they looking to target ?
It will go through tanks in top attack mode like a hot knife through butter.

Bunker clusters / complexes may be ?

Passive radars under a JV by Bel and Thales.

Is it like the vera system ?

From the poster i understand a FM transmitter(s) will fill the airspace with signals and numerous recovers placed widely apart will catch the reflected signals for target detection.

But then how is the system passive ?
Since it is emitting signals .

FM should mean frequency modulated.
