no requirement send by army, If IA give GSQR only then DRDO will make it (due to audit problem), so it is IA problem in not identifying requirement of man portable version.

instead of man portable version they reduced the weight and modified the carl gustav manpads.

They just spent beaucoup on MILANs.

Armand humble request to start a thread about the Basics of radar system in any Air Force pls

 

[SATISH]

They just spent beaucoup on MILANs.

Well there was a Fire in the Indian OFB that destroyed around 3000 Milan units. That is wy the hasty procurement.

Seeker successfully flight-tested in Nag

In a breakthrough in indigenous seeker technology for missiles, an RF (radio frequency) seeker was successfully flight-tested in anti-tank Nag missile in the Army ranges at Ahmednagar in Rajasthan on Sunday.

While the scientists of the Defence Research and Development Organisation had so far developed Imaging Infra-red (IIR) seeker, this was the first time that a millimetric Wave (mmW) seeker, having all-weather capability, was tried for a 2,000 metre range in a successful mission.

Chief Controller R& D, (Missiles and Strategic Systems), DRDO, Avinash Chander, told The Hindu: "this is a breakthrough for seeker capability in the country." This would provide solutions for applications in surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, anti-tank missiles and air-to-surface missiles. It would also provide the technology base for changing to dual-mode seeker in future.

The mmW seeker was designed and developed by scientists at Research Centre Imarat (RCI), one of the key laboratories of the DRDO's missile complex here.

IN ELITE CLUB

RCI Director S.K. Ray said very few countries possessed the technology to develop mmW seeker.

Nag Project Director S. S. Mishra said that in Sunday's flight, the seeker's capability to track the target in a 'Lock-on-Before-Launch' method, right from the missile's firing and throughout the trajectory, was successfully demonstrated. In future, the seeker would be used in a system in 'Lock-on-After-Launch' mode for extension of the range.

DELIVERABLE VERSION

The production of the third generation hit-to-kill Nag missile is expected to commence after the final user trials with deliverable version of missile carrier NAMICA are conducted next summer. Modifications and improvements have been carried out in NAMICA as per the Army's requirements.

The four-km range Nag missile has top-attack capability to nullify the explosive reactive armour of a modern battle tank.

:clap::clap::clap: Nice to see NAG being made more sophisticated......... :clap::clap: :cb:

Mr President said it right, RCI is truly a worldclass center which will drive India into different league of arm developers.

Ifs aunties had balls they would be called auntas ..... !!!
If they could make shorter missile those would be called sand vipers (jalebi) ......

Mr President said it right, RCI is truly a worldclass center which will drive India into different league of arm developers.

Now a days India has Ms President.

 

[Bhadra]

With this breakthrough news, we are now sure why IA was not deploying Nag.

 

[agentperry]

Now a days India has Ms President.

for you... for me it is still Mr president... KALAM

Tarmak007 -- A bold blog on Indian defence: Nag waits for sweetheart NAMICA | Emotional DRDL for final orders | Stubborn Army for quality spitfire sys | Climax in Pokhran during carrier re-validation trials

Bangalore/Hyderabad: This is the gripping love story of anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) Nag and its system sweetheart NAMICA (Nag Missile Carrier), that went awry. The climax of probably the longest story of India's Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP), will finally unfold during coming Summer. Who will wed Nag? Will it be the NAMICA being re-groomedd by Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) or the one being nurtured by Larsen and Tubro (L&T)? Adding twist to the tale is the possibility of the best of both systems being taken and rolled into a single macho carrier.
The wait has put Hyderabad-based Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) into an emotional spin, considering that the Indian Army had earlier placed its Acceptance of Necessity (AON) for 443 Nag missiles 13 NAMICAs in 2005. The Army had made it clear then that a firm commitment will only be given once all trials are successful and the system is fit for induction. The Army also projected in their perspective plan the need for 7000 Nag missiles and around 200 NAMICAs.

The upgraded NAMICA boasts of an advanced fire control system (FCS), advanced sighting system for both gunner and commander and compact auxiliary power unit (APU) which operates inside the hull compartment. "The carrier will offer a better launcher drive mechanism, reduced weight, smooth mobility and amphibious capabilities. Earlier the Army wanted eight missiles on the launcher and four in the stowage. Now, this has been reduced to six ready-to-fire missiles on the launcher only," sources said.
DRDL claims that the missile can hit target up to 4 km in favourable conditions and up to 3 km in adverse conditions. "It is a very potent warhead which can pierce in excess of 850 mm of armour. A new seeker being developed in-house will take the range to 4.5 km, and guaranteed 4 km under all conditions. So far the project has cost over Rs 300 crore and a total of 80 missiles were developed in the pre-production phase by Bharat Dynamics Ltd. Around 50 missiles were used during trials," sources said.
