why can't prahaar launcher carry more missiles.i think it can easily carry 12 prahhars.

Interceptor missile test on February 10

Y. MALLIKARJUN

India's missile scientists are gearing to conduct an interceptor missile test on February 10 as part of the plans to deploy a two-layered Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system.

This will be the seventh interceptor mission. The exercise is meant to test the capability of the system to kill incoming ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000-3,000 km. Of the six exercises held to date — the first was in November 2006 — five have been successful.

The proposed operation would be closer to the deployable configuration of the system for endo-atmospheric interception, according to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) officials. During the upcoming mission, the interception of the target missile is planned at an altitude of 15 km in the endo-atmosphere. Four of the interceptor missile tests conducted so far have been in the endo-atmosphere, two in the exo-atmosphere.

Soon after the modified surface-to-surface target missile, Prithvi, is launched from Chandipur, an Advanced Air Defence (AAD) missile will take off from Wheeler Island to intercept and destroy the incoming projectile, which, after reaching a height of 100 km, will start descending.

Upon Prithvi's launch, the Long-Range Tracking Radars near Puri will start tracking the target. A little later, the Multi Functional Radars located near seaport town Paradip will detect and track the missile and provide data for the guidance computer. This will compute the flight path of the target missile and launch the interceptor at the right time. The interceptor computes the optimal path for the missile to hit the target. In the terminal phase, the radiofrequency seeker will track the target and enable the interceptor to home in on to the target.

It is an AAD test.

when will i see PDV test ??? it is getting late, it is new missile therefore they should take their own time as we cant risk any failure. Lets see when we finally got to see PDV.

admin please merged this thread sticky thread.

i hope this time target Prithvi missile has this warhead which is in the middle

it will be interesting what happen when the warheads breaks and disintegrate.

it will be interesting when happen to this graph then.

 

[sayareakd]

today's satellite image

hope they will test it tomorrow. All the best DRDO.

Sucessful ABM test !!

More details awaited.

BHUBANESWAR: India on Friday tested a ballistic missile interceptor from a defence base in Odisha to create a shield against incoming enemy missiles, a senior defence official said.

The indigenous Advanced Air Defence (AAD) interceptor missile was fired from Wheeler Island off the state coast near Dhamra in Bhadrak district, about 170 km from here.

It successfully destroyed an incoming ballistic missile - a modified variant of the Prithvi fired from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur on sea in Balasore district, about 70 km away from Wheeler Island.

"The interceptor directly hit the target and destroyed it," SP Dash, director of the test range, said. The interceptor was fired a few minutes after the target missile was fired.

just read on BR that anti missile test is succesful, since i am using mobile phone can any one please post the news here.
Congrats to all.

thanks sri................

Awesome, the pukes will be shitting bricks

 

[Godless-Kafir]

I am some what skeptical about ABM its not that easy.

On the other hand if it is that advanced kudos to DRDO.
