Indian Army MRSAM

[Yusuf]

idiotic move..! the reason why everyone adopts layers of defense is for reliability. the reason comes in many ways,

AAA's are must needed, QR SAM's. MR SAM and the BMD is what we need, This DM going retard day after day

one LR SAM will not cover everything, if they sneaked through or jammed the radar no one will save the valuable targets

Doesn't say we are doing away with SRSAM or MRSAM. We are just optimizing the numbers

It's not yours .. it's ours..! Blame BJP failed, Blame IAF failed again, Now move towards congress


INSAS based on FN-FAL, Dhanush based on Bofors

I just cannot decipher your gibberish.

Whatever your complaints are, take it to your mp and follow the proper route of democracy.

And don't use anything that you did not invent. Let us see what kind of life you will lead.

@SajeevJino
Who is in full retard mode- DM or you? Why, have you got scared that MR SAM deal with your beloved Israel will be cancelled?

Did you actually read the OP's article? It says that the requirement of MR SAM and SR SAM has been rationalised in view of induction of S 400 Triumph system. Now, had you studied the system capabilities of S 400, you would not make such a silly ass remark to expose your bias to all. A place installed with S400 will not need the no. of MR SAM or SR SAM it envisaged prior to India's move for S400, as complete S400 system's only one aspect is its LR SAM, but it has the ability and missiles for shorter ranges too. Actually the engagement range of S400 is stated as from 2 KM to 400 KM.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-400_(missile)#Base_statistics

INSAS was not 'based' on FN FAL, but rather inspired from both AK47 and FN FAL. SLR was based on FN FAL. You might like to know that INSAS barrel was for 5.56 rounds, when both AK47 and FN FAL used 7.62 rounds. So, how identical the barrel was? Next, the OFB have been building barrels for Field guns for a long time. The barrel was not the factor, rather the whole tech for a new gun was.

Anyway, SAM is basically a missile. Do you accept that DRDO is good in missile tech, or do yo deny that too?

Haan, MR SAM is Indo Israeli joint project, but S 400 is completely Russian.

Anyway I'm not going to argue with you, In my POV I love the multi layer defense systems, How till now IAF followed, Navy and many other nations too.

I'm not the one who can blindly believe the 2-400 km range, rather I think S 400 for 10-250km class, Radar clutter and earth horizon is the answer for that, World is not flatten, It's rotating and different shapes and size in every region.

It's in theroy everything is better and developed by OFB, in real there is nothing, @Bhadra and @p2prada explained those factors earlier very well, @Twinblade too

Anyway, SAM is basically a missile. Do you accept that DRDO is good in missile tech, or do yo deny that too?

we still outsource the missile seeker, thank G-D we are matured in dual pulse rocket motor, in future all desi missile uses the dual pulse motor

5P85TE2 launchers and/or 5P85SE2 on the trailer in conjunction with a BAZ-64022 or MAZ-543M tractor-trailer. In 2014 a new type of transporter was introduced, improving the mobility of the system. The fuel consumption was cut by 35%. The total cost of launcher actually dropped 25% (The cost of transporters in 2014 is 8.7 million rubles (approximately 240 thousand dollars)).[32]

Missiles[edit]
Just one system comprising up to 8 divisions (battalions) can control up to 72 launchers, with a maximum of 384 missiles[33] (including missiles with a range of less than 250 km (160 mi)).[34][35] The missiles are fired by a gas system from the launch tubes up to 30 meters into the air before the rocket motor ignites, which increases the maximum and decreases the minimum ranges.[24] In April 2015 a successful test firing of the missile was conducted at an airborne target at a range of 400 km (250 mi).[36][37] In other tests 9M96 missile using an active radar homing head has reached a height of 56 km .[38][39] All the missiles are equipped with directed explosion warhead, which increases the probability of complete destruction of targets.[40]

• The new anti-ballistic missiles 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 to enter service in 2014 supposedly add inert/kinetic anti-ballistic capability to the system.[46] The same missiles will also be used by the S-500, which has a clearly stated anti-ICBM role.[47]

Morpheus defense system[edit]

• A separate independent air defense system 42S6 Morfey (Morpheus) is being developed. This system is designated as short-range air defense system to protect the S-400 from various threats at their terminal phases, and will also act together with the S-350E as a supplement to the SA-21 Growler. Together, these systems form part of the Aerospace Defence Forces.[48]
• Development of Morfey started in 2007 and was planned to be introduced in 2013, however was delayed until at least 2015.[49][50][51][52] The missile system consists of omnidirectional 29YA6 radar, infrared sensors and 36 missiles.[53][48] The missiles have up to 10 km range and an altitude of up to 3500 m.[48][54]

S 400 is NG LR SAM and has multiple sensor so jamming it very difficult and S 400 is very important offensive weapons also .It is also a part of our ABM defense.

Guys relax what i can tell you is that we are in the process of creating one of the world's finest AD nets. The Only real reduction in Parrikars plan is in numbers of the proposed BARAK regiments for the northern and western sectors. Other SAM numbers including AAKASH and SPYDER remain pretty much the same.
S400 itself can be tailored to have a kill envelope between 40 and 380km , that's what makes the acquisition of BARAK 8 units redundant in the same areas.

Indo-Israeli MRSAM missile test launch today

BHUBANESWAR: STAGE is set for the maiden test of newly developed medium range Gen-Next state-of-the-art surface-to-air missile from a defence base off the Odisha coast on Wednesday.

Defence sources said the missile, jointly developed by India and Israel, will be fired from the launching complex-III of Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-sea before noon.

“All preparations for the test have reached the final stage. While the missile has been integrated with the launcher, range integration has also been completed. The test would be carried out between 9 am and 12 noon if weather is favourable,” an official said.

Although the DRDO officials refused to divulge details about the missile, sources said the weapon system is a variant of Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile (LRSAM), Barak. Its test, however, is being carried out from a land- based platform for the first time.

In a joint effort, the DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) will carry out the test against an aerial target as coordinated. The missile will be fired targeting the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Banshee, a British target drone.

Defence sources said the missile has been manufactured by Hyderabad-based Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL). Apart from the missile, the weapon system includes a multi-functional surveillance and threat alert radar (MFSTAR) for detection, tracking and guidance of the missile.

Meanwhile, as a precautionary measure, the DRDO authorities have requested the district administration to shift people who reside within 2.5 km radius of the facility prior to the missile test.Accordingly, the district officials also have made adequate arrangements to temporarily shift 3,652 persons from seven hamlets.

Test launch of Indo-Israel missile deferred
By PTI | Jun 29, 2016, 06.54 PM IST

BALASORE (ODISHA): The test launch of a new surface-to-air missile, developed jointly by India and Israel, was deferred today due to unspecified reason.

The trial was postponed though preparation for conducting the maiden test of the newly developed missile from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) off Odisha coast had reached the final stage, said an ITR official.

No reason was, however, given for postponing the test launch of the missile.

India Test-Fires Surface-To-Air Missile Developed Jointly With Israel
All India | Press Trust of India | Updated: June 30, 2016 10:48 IST

BALASORE: India today successfully test-fired a new surface-to-air missile, developed jointly with Israel, from a defence base off Odisha coast.

The medium range missile (MR-SAM), a product of joint venture between India and Israel, was successfully test launched from a mobile launcher in the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur at around 8.15 am, a DRDO official said.


"The test launch was a grand success and it met all the targets," he said.

The missile positioned at launch pad-3 of the ITR swung in to action after getting signal from the radars to intercept a moving aerial target supported by an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) 'Banshee' over the Bay of Bengal, officials said.

Apart from the missile, the system includes a Multi Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MF STAR) for detection, tracking and guidance of the missile, they said.

"The missile along with MF-STAR will provide the users with the capability to neutralise any aerial threats," said a Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist.

Indian Defence Research Development Laboratory (DRDL), a laboratory of DRDO based at Hyderabad, has jointly developed this missile in collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), he said.

A new production facility to deliver 100 missiles a year has been established for such type of long rang and medium range surface-to-air missiles at M/s Bharat Dynamics Limited, India.

The missile, which was initially proposed to be tested yesterday, was deferred in the last moment for today. Earlier, Indian Navy had successfully test launched the long range surface-to-air missile (LR-SAM). The test was undertaken on the Western Seaboard by INS Kolkata on December 30, 2015, officials said.

Such type of medium range surface-to-air missiles (SR-SAM), having striking ranges from 50 to 70 km, can fill the gap of existing missiles that India has in its armory at present, they said.

These missiles would be inducted in all three services after user's trial is completed.

As a safety measure, Balasore district administration in consultation with the defence officials had temporarily shifted 3652 civilians residing within 2.5 km radius of the launch pad No.3 of the ITR at Chandipur to nearby shelter centres this morning to ensure a safe launch of the missile, said a district revenue official.

Fishermen engaged in sea fishing along the Bay of Bengal in three Odisha coastal districts namely Balasore, Bhadrakh and Kendrapada were asked not to venture into the sea during the test launch time.

[Prashant12]

Medium range missile has successful twin strikes

Bengaluru, June 30: India on Thursday successfully test-fired the Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MRSAM) for the first time from the Integrated Test Range (ITR), off Odisha coast.

The missile, jointly developed by Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), was test-fired from LC-III (Launch Complex) of ITR situated in Chandipur at around 8.15 am. The MRSAM is being developed for the Indian Air Force (IAF).

Interestingly, the missile was test-fired for the second time today, successfully.
"The second launch of the missile too is a hit with target getting blown off completely. The second trial (low-altitude) was held at 3.45 pm and the missile was on a perfect path as per the script," an official said.

Speaking to OneIndia from Chandipur, an official said that the maiden mission met all the parameters.

Target drone completely destroyed at first strike

"Mission was very successful. The missile hit the target destroying it completely. We used an unmanned platform (not the PTA developed by ADE, but an imported drone) as the target," says the official. The launch was witnessed by both Indian and Israel teams.

From the DRDO side two Hyderabad based labs -- RCI and DRDL -- played key role for this missile project that was sanctioned in 2009. The project is currently running behind schedule by two years owing to technical issues both sides (DRDO-IAI) ran into during the development phase.

According to the official, DRDL (Hyderabad) developed the motor for the missile and R&D Engineers (Pune), the launcher. Companies like Tata Nova, L&T, BEL and BDL too contributed to the project.

The missile with a maximum range of 70 km is guided by a radar system and on-board avionics, which enabled to pierce through the target drone. The unique Multi-Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MFSTAR) aids detection, tracking and guidance of the missile. The 2.7 tonne missile can carry a payload of 60 kg.

More tests to follow in the coming days

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar congratulated DRDO and industry partners for the successful flight test of the missile.

"We will be conducting more trials to test various new parameters as well. The Israeli team is also satisfied with the today's launches," says an official.

The MRSAM when inducted will replace the aging and outdated Pechora SAM systems, currently being used by the IAF.

http://www.oneindia.com/india/medium-range-missile-has-successful-twin-strikes-2141313.html

As per the initial estimates, 450-plus MRSAMs and 18 firing units were to be delivered units a cost of Rs 10,075 crore.

DRDO says MRSAMs will be the best bet for an effective air defence of vital areas/vital points (VAs/VPs) in the Indian sub-continent. The missile system can also be integrated with air-borne platforms (AWACS & AEW&C) for centralized command and control.

Jokes apart if porkistan can claim that they have made "JF-17 bunder" Jerking Farting-17 from scratch. Also their missiles form their chinese dads.:bs::blah:

But Indian developing agency from the begining Calling it a joint venture not entirely Indigenous like porkis who claims that their missiles are totaly indigenous.

We should proud our agencies despite sanctions we are making decent defence equipments.

Jai Hind. Bharat Mata ki Jai...

India test-fires Barak-8 surface-to-air ballistic missile

India has reportedly test-fired the Barak-8 surface-to-air ballistic missile from a test range at Chandipur, off the coast of Odisha state. The test firing was originally scheduled for 29 June, but was postponed due to undeclared reasons, reported the Press Trust of India (PTI). During the trial on 30 June, the medium-range missile was successfully launched from the Integrated Test Range (ITR).

The missile was to intercept a target supported by an unmanned air vehicle over the Bay of Bengal, according to a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) official cited by PTI. DRDO's Research Centre Imarat and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) jointly developed the Barak-8 missile, and conducted test-firing alongside Indian defence personnel

The 4m-long missile has a range of 70km, a weight of 275kg, and a payload capacity of 60kg. Combined with a multi-functional surveillance and threat alert radar (MF STAR), the missile is capable of identifying and disarming aerial threats.

Nearly 3,652 residents living within a 2.5km radius of the launch pad were moved to nearby shelter centres to ensure safety. Fishermen along the Bay of Bengal were asked not to fish in the sea during the test launch. Bharat Dynamics has established a new facility to produce 100 long-range and medium-range surface-to-air missiles annually.
