The AAD missile of Indian BMD uses a Ka-band seeker. The development of the seeker was a major challenge, as unlike other seekers developed so far a BMD interceptor's RF seeker requires very high update rates. A multi-agency task force comripising of Sameer, ECIL, DRDO, BARC, was formed to develope this unique seeker .

It is a three channel mono pulse airborne radar with a waveguide slotted planar antenna . Range and angle information are updated every 50-100 ms .

The seeker has a detection range of 20 km for a 0.1 sq m RCS target .

This seeker is an engineering marvel by itself.

The initial variant of Swordfish LRTR had a 600 km detection range as illustrated in this slide. The seeker brings down the designation error from 600 metre of the initial target tracking data passed on by the radar to just 20 metres thus enabling an almost direct hit .

ANew updated variant of this seeker with greater ranges has already been developed and is in active service.

This is the newer enhanced AAD ver 2. It's longer than the original AAD which debuted way back in the earlier decade and also sports canards just behind the nose radome for improved controllability. The AAD can be termed as an almost hit to kill interceptor . The miss distance if any is just a few metre.

What the hell they are doing with this model? When will it's going to be tested??? I am sure that nirbhay series missile is never going to be inducted in armed forces.....ade sucks..

This was reasonably accurate then... Found out on DFI years ago! @Kuntal

ADE is the most incompetent lab wonder what's wrong with them.

More details on Safran & HAL signing MoU on military engine collab

HAL & Safran intend to explore opportunities to assemble the Safran M88/manufacture components with HAL for additional batch of Rafales for IAF & for ANY aircraft manufactured in India by HAL fitted with M88.

Transfer of significant amount of tech in assembling/manufacturing programmes is also contemplated. The MOU also encompasses collab btwn HAL & Safran for indigenisation progs relating to design/dev of high thrust engines of 110 kN power & above with transfer of key technology.

Another 114 Rafale in F4 tranche soon. This will also pave the way for an Indianised custom designed 110 kN M88 spinoff which will power the later tranches of LCA MK2 and AMCA block 2.

I thought this company was a joke, and they were joking when they claimed of being making Hypersonic Vehicles being a Startup. No one in India believed that how can a startup do such things, maybe they are joking but they are serious. Looks like they are getting support from GoI and DRDO.

Then we should take sss def and that astr defence guys seriously.
