Some claim the mmw seeker is same as the one on sant . But I disagree since sant mmw seeker is short ranged , ngarm would need a range of 40 km , if possible more from its mmw seeker.

Ngarm seeker is named as mmw2

Ngarm seeker is named as mmw2

The MMW antenna should be this one

And the body will be this one ( minus the antenna which is of a different band )

And the body of the mmw seeker sits inside the hollow body of the PHH

Note : the mmw seeker discription / look one will be sure , only if DRDO makes it public

import of weapons and weapon systems are controlled and approved by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), not by the military. Bureaucrats of MoD are in tandem with the import lobby for reasons not difficult to understand. In the instant case, the official who made a categorical statement that ATAGS will have brought back to the drawing board apparently belongs to the MoD with vested interests.

You are a fool if you think military doesn't call the shots or have a say.

According to Trishul blog
"Now being developed is a ground-launched version of the NG-ARM, dubbed the RUDRAM-2, four of which will be carried in a cannister-encased configuration by a 4 x 4 LAMV. To be used by the Indian Army (IA), the RUDRAM-2 will be employed against hostile ground-based battlefield air-defence systems and networks, with high-accuracy direction-finding cues being provided by the IA’s Samyukta and Him Shakti battlefield EW networks."

Isn't all Rudra series air launched missiles with varying ranges. Mr Prasun lives in his own construct, has his own theories.

India test-fires 10 missiles in 35 days. It is not a coincidence

The DRDO’s effort to fast-track development of ‘Made in India’ strategic nuclear and conventional missiles comes against the backdrop of China’s refusal to step back from the LAC.

Won't you need to add a two way data link to make it go A2A?

A one way datalink is a must for long range shots and two way datalink will be the best solution

This is a figment of Prasun's imagination. All Rudram family missiles are air launchef .

According to Prasun he conducts forward recces inside PoK and Pakistan proper mapping out Sam and radar sites.

Also Prasun had predicted the breaking out of a limited high intensity war between India and Pakistan some years back. He had even mentioned the months. I am still waiting for that war.

Stop taking his stuff at facevalue . Just visit his site for those brochures .

 

[Arihant Roy]

Or we can add these PHH in our existing or coming AAM to also use them for anti AWACS role.

We can't add this into our existing line of missiles like Astra unless we miniaturise the seeker. Rudram-1 has a larger body and seeker diameter than Astra and other bvraam . It's a oversized Astra.

But at a tactical level, ground launched 100-150 km anti-radiation missile does make sense, doesn’t it?

it should take care of LY-80 and then some.

I have made a mistake. The current passive homing seeker has a hollow interior volume to accomodate the mmw seeker. So if this space is utilised then the antenna can be fitted within the exisiting seeker dia of missiles like Astra.

This PHH plus MMW concept is utilised in the AARGM to prosecute non emitting targets .

For that purpose we already have Harop and Harpy albeit with a lower speed. Ground launched ARM doesn't make too much sense .

The missile will be sector specific. With Air launched platforms you get the flexibility and ability to engage targets of opportunity.

But drdo is planning to add PHH on AAM for Home on jamming.

The issue is that such a ground launched unit would be deployed by the Army but DEAD would be the responsibility of the Air Force. This creates a command chain nightmare. Besides, Army would not pay to induct these missiles in its forces because achieving Air Dominance is an Air Force mission. Army is short on funds as it is.
Air Force itself would not induct ground based ARM because its much better to purchase a larger inventory of the air-launched ARM with that money. Unless, Air Force deems that it is too low on squadrons to even conduct its primary mission of DEAD effectively.

in this scenario how will WLR be taken care of, in case our adversaries are also using them.

IA Signals will be the first to locate the WLR, because WLR won’t be switched on for a long time. in this scenario, IA will have to wait for IAF to come and take care of it?
