India developing radar-destroying Anti-Radiation Missile

India developing radar-destroying Anti-Radiation Missile - India - DNA

After the success of Agni-V project, India is developing an Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM) which can hugely multiply the strike capabilities by destroying the enemy's advance warning system.

Production (..)of the ARM, which are among the most advanced missiles, is being undertaken on priority basis by the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), which specialises in the missile development.

Such missiles can be mounted on Sukhoi fighter planes Su-30 MKI, 140 of which have already been acquired by India from Russia and around 100 more are expected to be delivered in due course of time.

These missile can detect a radar by tracking its electro-magnetic radiation and pulses generated, an official told PTI, adding these would be independent of the radar wavelength and be able to destroy it.

Such missiles, currently in use of some major powers like the US, can detect and attack a radar antenna or transmitter with minimal aircrew input.

The proportional guidance system that homes in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile's nose.

The Anti-Radiation Missiles in use by the US Air Force move at the speed of over Mach 2, propelled by a smokeless and solid-propellant rocket motor.

The US Air Force introduced High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles (HARM) on the F-4G Wild Weasel and later on specialised F-16s equipped with the HARM Targeting System (HTS).

Other projects being undertaken on priority basis by the DRDO are Long Range Air-to-Air Missile and Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile.

The flight test and production clearance of Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missiles is also on the cards.

The DRDO is also planning guided flight of Astra Missile from ground and air in the near future.

Operationalisation of the third regiment of BrahMos missile for Army, its integration with Su-30 MKI as also underwater trials from pontoon are also on the priority list. ...

DRDO is also working on early static validation trials of Pinaka MK-II rocket, with an extended range of 60 kms, along with user trials of its warhead.

The present range of the Pinaka rocket, launched in clusters of 12 from indigenously-built multi-barrel launcher, is 39-40 km in 40 seconds with 1.2 tons of high explosives.

Fitted with a variety of warheads like anti-tank mines and blast-cum-pre-fragmented high explosives, Pinaka can destroy an area of 350 sq kms. ....

Army has already raised two regiments of Pinaka and more are planned.

Flight trial of 'Prahar' missile as tactical battlefield surface-to-surface weapon system is also in the pipeline.

well BTW what anti radiation missile are we producing????
1) KH 31 krypton

or

2) R 37

or

3) K 100

the projects mentioned in this posts are mostly JVs with other countries.
the LRSAM and SRSAM are the barak8 and the french maitri missile system.
the LRA2A missile could be the russian novator missile.

though all of the projects are not JV like the one for MRSAM is our very own akash mk 2.

sometime back drdo had said that though astra is said being developed as india's very own bvr A2A missile it could be used as LRSAM because till now all the tests astra had cleared, are from ground only, the missile fired from ground targeted the dummy aircraft flying in the air at various altitude.

glad to hear pinaka mk2 is coming and prahar is now taken into consideration to replace ageing prithvi 1.

lastly this ARM, well india and russia have 200 defence JVs going on right now, this could be the one but final words from drdo will clear the cloud

Good development...

The only one I can think of is KH-31P. But I don't think we are producing it.

On which missile our ARM development will be based on, nobody knows. Perhaps a new missile.

Impossible for Astra to be a LRSAM. It is at best a short range SAM like Derby based Spyder.

the statement was given by drdo only. they are not my personal thoughts

India developing.....

that is a long story of money guzzling, empire building, employment generation and parking ones backsides in cosy air-conditioned research centres

Akash is a 720Kg missile is a MRSAM.

AAD is a 1200 Kg missile is a LRSAM.

Astra is a 100-250Kg missile. Decide where you want it to be.

There is such a thing as common sense. We would be very lucky to even match SPYDER's capability with an Astra based SAM.

sounds terrible ---- is it really that bad ( asking as i'm not in a position to know ) ..if possible tell us a bit more ?

"An anti-radiation missile (ARM) is a missile which is designed to detect and home on an enemy radio emission source. Typically these are designed for use against an enemy radar, although jammers and even radios used for communication can also be targeted in this manner." Anti-radiation missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ARM missile can play Air-to-Ground, Surface-to-Surface, Surface-to-Air and Air-to-Air roles, don't know which one is being developed by DRDO.

Air to ground...

There is huge task of killing Enemy AD, One need a huge number of ARMs..



KH-31 comes with only two or three band seekers..
