For info....

The tandem warhead for Gaurav in question - shaped charged based , multistage warhead system to defeat deeply buried hardened targets.......

This one is very interesting.

It is a shaped charged based , multistage warhead system to defeat deeply buried hardened targets.

Following are the components of the deep penetration multistage warhead system

1. Precursor shaped charged warhead to defeat hardened sandwiched reinforced concrete layers with steel bar mesh and layers of reactive explosives.

2. Follow through deep penetrating warhead ( 2 types ) to punch through exposed compacted earth / rocks / concrete structures

Also they are looking at rocket propelled follow through deep penetrating warhead to allow penetration to even greater depths.

Very good find.

I think India is the only nation with 1000kg i.e. 2200 pound "glide bomb" with 100km range. Other guided bombs in 1000kg category including spice has half the range

Garuthma winged glide bomb and Garuda non winged glide bomb

Note : non winged glide bomb @ 1000kg also exists. But i dont know the name. Too much confusion regarding the naming for the bombs. And i suspect that 500kg winged glide bomb also exists.

What's the type of navigation used to steer towards target?

DRDO website , i posted some of the pics from there previously but forgot to do the same for the glide bomb.

Since drdo mentions these bombs as inertially guided bombs, i suspect INS ( inertial navigation system ) is being used especially the shorter ranged non winged glide bombs.

The longer ranged winged bombs will additionally have a dedicated SATNAV or maybe other guidance systems are there, i dont know for sure.

No official info available as such on the guidance systems on the bombs.

Edit : INS based on MEMS sensors are being used in the glide bombs.

Wow!! That's Dank!! But you know what would be even danker though?? If they could slap a small turbojet/pulse jet engine on it.

@tharun

MEMS based INS for PGMs and smart bombs

I will not say anything...............

Interesting possibilities with Shaurya

Erect a common non descript house around it with a retractable roof and voila !

Or simply install the launch fixture into the ground with a retractable lid and voila !

Also note the similarity with the cannister round above and below

Identical round indicating easy interchangeability between fixed and mobile launchers.

While we the general public develop pussyfoot while posting some pics available in the public domain.

Those in charge of keeping information safe have no qualms releasing info on the same during public exhibitions

Note the outriggers around the launcher .
6 in no , 4 visible.

What is this ?

It even has a name VAJRA AYUDH

Never heard nor seen it before

I would not have given a second thought on the model, given the peculiar design of the model , especially the lavish use of fins , but nevertheless i posted it because the pic is from a defence exibition and because it had a name to it.

Surya, Vajra were ICBM names in late 90s..

Weird looking thing. Hai kya yeh?

Tiny boosters with wings, odd looking warhead

Ok guys whatever it is , it is definitely not a ICBM .

It could be simply a model also and nothing more. And given the outlandish design i am kind of inclined to believe so.
