We have p8i which will track hunt and kill anything entering the water from Pakistan submarines or ships.
the P8I will most probably fly in a race track pattern parallel to the future AKHAND BHARAT
coastline from bases in Gujarat and Maharashtra well outside the envelope of piggie counter air assets.
piggies also have AEW and MPA assets which will limit or try to limit the activities of Indian AEW and MPA assets.
their sorties will also be parallel to their coast , with attempts to test Indian defense / loopholes by using short dashes into Indian airspace close to Indian waters.
these will also call in their assets to engage Indian targets intruding into our future AKHAND BHARAT ZONE
.
the porky navy main mandate is to protect and ensure that porky territorial waters and EEZ is not violated
and therefor the acquisition (begging) and repainting of some 200 C-602s & their coastal mobile launchers is a important part towards this goal.
the 280 km range C-602s batteries will be stationed along the coast line of future AKHAND BHARAT
.
it will create a string of defensive bubbles of 280 km radius along the coastline for the porkie navy surface fleet / assets to operate in without getting blow up.
how to counter this particular CHINESE asset?
A standard C-602/YJ-62 coastal battery consists of four launch vehicles, each with three missiles, plus command and support vehicles.
it is easily done by disrupting its kill chain
the first phase for CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB will involve on first detecting the target ship. one has to locate and identify where the enemy ships are. this is the surveillance phase. few of the surveillance radars are shore based but will predominately use aerial assets like P3C orion and AEW assets like ZDK03 ,ERIEYE .
elimination of this assets will be the first priority of the Indian navy and Indian air force to disrupt the 1st phase/block of the kill chain, as this will deprive the chinese C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB from assessing any kind of surveillance capable platforms .
the 2nd stage for CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB is to initialize and prep the launch of the CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB missiles from the coastal launch batteries and also the selection and assignment of specific targets for the missiles. this is the targeting phase.
again air launched brahmos
will be particularly useful to take out the command and control modules associated with C-602/YJ-62 to render it impotent
as this will cripple C-602/YJ-62 flow of info necessary to prep and initiate missile launch.
ARMs will play a important role during these 2 phases to defeat the CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB system.
in the third phase, i.e. the mid course guidance phase will occur after the missile launch.
For the mid-course flight, inertial guidance is used with the help of strap-down inertial measurement unit (IMU) and GPS. it will now cruise at altitude of 30 meters to as low as 10 meters above the sea.
it will use inertial guidance until it approaches the target, then turn on the radar and acquire the target.
during this phase it can be detected by ship based on board sensors like MF STAR (which has a high radar horizon), though 100% surety will be guaranteed by combination with off board sensors based on KA-31 AEW helicopter / other assets and relevant information can be passed onto the sea and air based assets to get them to destroy the inflight CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB
.
the fourth phase will be the terminal guidance phase, in which the CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB will turn on its mono-pulse frequency agile radar seeker which has a maximum detection range in excess of 40 kilometers and a maximum lock-on range of 30 kilometers and then will attempt to home on the radar echo.During this terminal attack phase against ships, the altitude is further decreased to 7 meters above sea level.
however on board ship assets like
hard kill systems :
BARAK 8 (minimum 500 m range envelope)
BARAK 1 point defence system
CIWS
soft kill system :
chaff, active decoys and Off-board Corner Reflector (IN was supposed to buy it )
will should be able to destroy or spoof the radar seeker or break target lock of CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB .
CHINESE C-602/YJ-62/ZAARB rest in peace
but we should not be complacent
and continue investing in better equipment's and technology
by the way on November 2012, a new member of C-602 series designated as
CM-602G made its public debut, One of the major improvement of CM-602G over earlier models of the series is that a data link is added so that the operator can change to target after the launch.
