Firstly I never said and meant what you understood..Hahahahahahahahaha certainly i am not ur bara bhai as i am 17 year old plus i never said nag's role can be taken by Agni i was just repling to ur comment that the development of agni was unnecessary as we should have developed nag first.
at 42kg nag is heavy
I gave a perfect example of Abhimanyu being killed by Kauravas inspite of Arjun possessing Brmhastra.
In modern times, Kargill happening inspite of Agni !!
Nag has its role and it must have been developed 30 years ago..

New Seeker with resolution to be tested
DRDO to conduct Nag missile test trials soon - The Times of India
The missile complex of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) here has been working on making Nag, a third-generation 'Fire-and-Forget' anti-tank missile for the past few years. It was almost a year ago when the Anti Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) failed in its user trials by the Indian Army in Rajasthan. DRDO blamed it upon the high temperatures in the desert where the tests were conducted to bring the target temperature to the same level as that of the ambient temperature.
V G Sekaran, chief controller R&D (Missiles & Strategic Systems) and programme director, Agni, told TOI that trials for Nag with new 'more sensitive' and 'higher resolution' seekers being developed by the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) of DRDO here will be conducted by this month end. 'Nag' is the baby of Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) of DRDO. According to G Satheesh Reddy, DRDL director, the new seekers would perform well even in extremely hot temperatures with more efficiency and accuracy in hitting targets with new improved detectors on the missile tip for sensing heat or infra red signals.
Dwelling into the reasons for the past failures, Avinash Chander, scientific advisor to raksha mantra and secretary Defence Research & Development and director general DRDO (Defence R&D Organisation), the high temperatures during the peak day hours in the desert resulted in heating up of the targets to the extend that it was the same as the surroundings. "As such, the seekers, which worked well otherwise till up to four kilometers or so, could not differentiate between the target object and the surroundings. Accuracy under such conditions worked well only till a limited range and now we are working on developing more sensitive and higher resolution seekers", he said, adding that the Indian Army will also participate in the development trials this month-end.
The DRDO chief claimed that once developed as per specifications, other foreign ATGMs currently being used by India shall be no match to 'Nag'. DRDO reportedly is also working on making the future versions of the missile lighter even though it is fired from a special Russian origin Infantry Combat Vehicle BMP-2 (named 'Namica' or the Nag Missile Carrier) in its terrestrial version. Meanwhile, a couple of months after these user trials failed, the government which so far has spent Rs 1,700 crores on Nag, had to give its nod for procuring second generation 10,000 Russian Konkurs-M, Anti Tank Guided Missiles at a cost of Rs 1,200 crores for infantry formations of the Indian Army. Though DRDOP has shelved its plans to build a wire-guided system for Nag, it continues to work on 'Helina', the helicopter or air launch version of Nag.

Seeker evaluation trials for Nag carried out in Rajasthan
Seeker evaluation trials for the anti-tank Nag missile were carried out in hot desert conditions in Rajasthan on Monday.According to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sources, the trials to evaluate the performance of an improved version of Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker were carried out against both moving and static targets for different ranges of 2.8 km and 3.2 km. While Nag missile has a maximum range of 4 km, the seeker proved to be accurate only up to 2.5 km in extremely hot conditions in the trials conducted last year.
With the Army seeking improvement, scientists at the Research Centre Imarat (RCI), a key DRDO laboratory, had indigenously developed an improved version of IIR seeker based on detector. An IIR seeker detects objects based on temperature contrast.
With the temperature difference being minimal in hot summer between a tank and sands in the desert, the scientists developed an improved seeker with better resolution to distinguish even minute temperature differences while detecting the objects, the sources added.
The sources told The Hindu that no missiles were fired in the seeker evaluation trials.
The trials for 2.8 km range were successful to a large extent as the seeker tracked both the moving and static targets, the sources added while declining to reveal further details on its performance in tracking targets 3.2 km away.
The trials would be carried out for different ranges, including the maximum range of 4 km, in the next few days for image quality and tracking.
Meanwhile, DRDO scientists are planning to carry out Nag missile test with a more rugged version of NAMICA, the missile carrier. The launcher had been hardened further to withstand missile firing loads. Its sealing also has been improved.
The trials will be carried out for different ranges, including the maximum range of 4 km, in the next few days for image quality and tracking

accepting a fact that nothing can be perfect can bring in more indigenous content to the forces. moreover best improvement and improvement against the actual requirement( as against the set of requirement hypothesized as wishlist) can only be thought of after bringing the weapon into service.
it is first attempt by india and rather than keeping bar so high the forces should go opposite and keep the bar low and then go stricter in the follow on version

Seeker evaluation trials for Nag carried out in Rajasthan - The Hindu
Let's hope the RCI seeker passes trial. In last year's trials the seeker containing focal plane array (FPA) from Sofradir had less than 100% target dissemination capabilities at high temperature and humidity typical of North Indian summer.
According to Ajai Shukla's report last year, the improved seeker was supposed to have a higher resolution FPA from Sofradir as the indigenous FPA technology was not mature enough, but it seems the latest rounds of tests are being carried out using an indigenous FPA.

DRDO tastes rare success in evaluation trials of Nag | idrw.org
Finally some success has come in the way of Defence Research and Development Organization with "fairly accurate results" during evaluation trials of Nag, a Gen-3 anti-tank guided missile, top DRDO officials said.
Actual trials of Nag will begin by early next year officials said, as the trial results of third-generation "Fire-and-Forget" anti-tank missile was satisfactory and previous anomalies rectified, G Satheesh Reddy, director, Research Centre Imarat (RCI) said.
He along with officials of Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) were present at Rajasthan for the trials.
It was almost a year back, when the anti-tank guided missile, Nag was tanked in its user trials by Indian Army in Rajasthan.
The DRDO attributed the failure to high temperatures in the desert where tests were being conducted, bringing the target temperature to same level as that of ambient temperature.
DRDO officials while speaking to TOI said these evaluation trials were conducted after integrating the "more sensitive" and "higherresolution" seekers developed by Research Centre Imarat (RCI) of DRDO here with Nag.
Seekers sense the target by infrared imaging and tracks and guides the missile to the target and destroys it.
Reddy further said that so far, the new seekers have been performing well in extremely hot temperatures with equal efficiency and accuracy in hitting targets.
Highly sensitive detectors have been placed on missile tip for sensing heat or infra-red signals, he said.
DRDO is also working on " Helina", the helicopter or air launch version of Nag in addition to making the future versions of missile lighter.
Once developed as per army specifications, other foreign anti-tank guided missiles currently being used and procured by India and those existing otherwise shall be no match to Nag.

^^ Good news, but considering the near non existent imaging semi conductor industry in India, I doubt if we can produce any significant number of missiles for the next few years. Making a few laboratory examples is one thing, making seekers on large scale with proper quality checks is a whole together different scenario.
