I think the missile below is MLPGM not SANT as reported by PKS

View attachment 31319

I believe the SANT is too big to be launched from mirach drone . So the missile has to be the smaller MLPGM .

Mostly probably undergoing initial preliminary developmental tests.

The mirach drone in the 1st picture , the missile in the 1st picture is hung from the central pylon.

As usual reader is advised to use his discretion

Also look at the photos of SANT model and compare them with the one on the mirach drone

They are different, the spacing between the rear fine and the midfins is considerably more in the case of SANT. Also the shaping of the midfins is different provided the model of SANT is a accurate facsimile of the same.

Anyways MLPGM is going to be a interesting system , from what I understand multiple MLPGMs are going to be packed in as a payload inside a mother carrier missile.

Concept same as this BCES warhead of Prithvi missile

The carrier missile will take the payload of clustered MLPGMs to the general area of dispensation where the MLPGMs are going to be released , on release the multiple MLPGMs will seek and destroy all available targets in the area.

So basically if things work out as planned we might have a long range system which can take out multiple targets.

If a single carrier missile carries even 4 MLPGMs that means 6 carrier missiles will have 24 MLPGMs in total .

So a salvo can theoretically take out an entire system like cruise missile launchers, their command and control vehicles and replenishment vehicles at one shot with very high probability , including SAM systems with the launchers , radars and related command and control vehicles at one go with very high kill probability.

Pics of MLPGM tests not SANT ( in my opinion )

COIN ( literally the size of a coin and weighs 20gms ) - AI based smart sensor ( vibration , acoustic , pressure , temperature etc ) , hundreds of them can network amongst themselves wirelessly to form a impenetrable grid to defeat any intrusion.

Was trialed for base defence and also got an award for innovation

It's NAG for sure. Both MMW Seeker SANT & MLPGM is longer than IR Seeker NAG & HELINA.

If you look closely Lateral thrusters of NAG missing.

The spacing between mid fins and rear fins is closer than in NAG

And there is a considerable rear section after the rear fins, which is not present in NAG

But otherwise seems to be like NAG

What's the dimensions of MLPGM ?

star sensor and sun sensor used in satellites.

Also used in the ICBMs / PBCSs etc
In the dark space there is no other way to augment navigation / correct induced navigation errors / provide backups for navigation redundancy

Interesting core end products from drdo

Micro bolometer must be for the IIR seekers

Cochlear implantable and Physiological monitoring ASIC for smart soldier program

CVC Mems for missile navigation

S band RFIC and phase shifter for radars

Rest don't know

I can't recall about system on chip (SOC) data acquisition and control ARJUN , remember having read about it somewhere

NAG project has gone through plenty of redesigns, due to immaturity of indigenous IIR Seeker.

But I am still sure it's NAG, coz it's shorter. SANT/ MLPGM is longer due to more range.
