Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion

The initial version of SAAW was GPS/INS only. I meant it in that context. We are yet to see a datalink pod from DRDO though.
Initial mk1 versions much like the ulpgm case are very basic in nature. On the TARA LRGB scale where the article payload is much larger than saaw , the datalink with antenna and possibly even seeker would be incorporated as the system mature.

Tara will likely use the same laser seeker from the PG-HSLD. After all, it is an evolved version of the latter.
 
Light tank atgm related. So we have seen before about decision to use the same RCI made quad controller for the REMA control actuation system that has worked fine with nag mk2 trials, also used in mpatgm and helina prob. This is a major improvement since 1 controller pcb can control the 4 actuator systems. In old gen nag, they had to use single channel controllers, and hydraulic controllers prob (not sure) because all such stuff were import dependent, hence often restricted. Old actuation system would also be heavier and 4 set for controlling the 4 bldc motors thereby increased the weight once you add the wires and connectors etc. This is one such niche case where lack of useful component hinder the weight optimisation part. NOW RCI made quad channel rotary ema controller in single pcb so given 1 kg max weight & less connectors wires etc the atgm becomes less heavy.

How floor counting works with 'precision-guided munition (PGM)'? Does it count floors from elevation view or top view? This question is residing on my mind since India's Balakot terror camp strike... :confused:
 
"Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of Missile Test Range at Nagayalanka in Andhra Pradesh worth around Rs 1,460 Crore. It will comprise a launch center, technical instrumentation facilities, Indigenous Radars, Telemetry and Electro-Optical systems enhancing the country's defence preparedness." From the article, today.
 

Really curious about what they used for this.

perhaps ?
 

perhaps ?
With that tiny warhead not possible
 

perhaps ?
Nope, its too small. Something heavy used.

Imo, the IAF may have used the Israeli playbook, deploying the newly-acquired ROCKS and Rampage ALBMs against heavily defended air bases like Sargodha. The strategy has paid off big time.

You'd recall that Israel used these same weapons from its F-15Is to shred Iran's S-300 batteries to bits recently. And HQ-9 is nothing more than a modernized S-300++. Other than Scalp, we've also acquired Ice Breaker stealthy ALCMs from Rafael (+license production planned). Combined with a robust AD network, this would've allowed the IAF to bat on the front foot, sending the Pakee scurrying for cover.
