Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion

The Hypersonics havent been confirmed to be even operational right now, right? Or fully developed?
Only Shaurya and B-05 are in actual operational service at present and given nature of these will remain under strategic force user.

Everything else is in development phase, there are overall 40+ missile projects are on and some are hypersonics related be it boost glide or active propulsion based.

This means that India is NOT going to wait for SMERCH long range MBRL development by DRDO
 
It's good to have competition no. High time DRDO feels the heat. With production in india, DRDO will lose its edge over "indigenous-ing" already deployed systems. While it is good but not enough for an organisation that is supposed to be the leading R&D org of worlds 4th largest economy.

If it results in better system good. If it results in drdo moving to more prioritised tech, good too. Amway tech transfer is taking place, not just license. So, the knowledge gets absorbed atleast.
 
It means Elbit wants to license produce PULS in india.

We need Long Range MBRLs

DRDO was going to replicate SMERCH in Pinaka Mk 3 and MK 4

But Army would have to wait for how long , nobody knows

But if the cost of licensed production Israeli version is similar to Indian made Pinaka and Smerch then we can induct it soon

300 KM range means SEAD missions can be done with a heavy Salvo of Rockets
 
DRDO urges Hyderabad’s Missile Complex scientists to fast-track missile inductions, hypersonic systems

Hyderabad: DRDO Chairman Dr Samir V Kamat on Saturday urged the scientists at Missile Complex in Hyderabad to work towards quick induction of weapon systems, which were undergoing user trials.

Dr Kamat emphasised that Missile Complex should concentrate on the development of more agile, stealthier, and faster missiles, such as hypersonic missiles, to counter threats from advanced air defence systems.



The DRDL organised a one-day workshop on weapons systems, including Akash air defence, BrahMos, MRSAM and ULPGM developed at the Missile Complex that played a stellar role in Operation Sindoor, at DRDL here on Saturday.

The workshop, which had an exhibition displaying sub-systems of the various weapons used in Operation Sindoor, deliberated on the performance of these indigenous systems. It also discussed the ways and means to further enhance the system’s capabilities so that they remain unbeatable.

DRDL Director Dr GA Srinivasa Murthy, Akash Weapon System former project director Dr Prahlada, MSS DG U Raja Babu, and DRDO former Chairman Dr G Satheesh Reddy, and veterans involved in weapons system development also participated.


 
For the Indian Navy, AoN was accorded for the procurement of Compact Autonomous Surface Craft, BrahMos Fire Control System & Launchers and Upgradation of BARAK-1 Point Defence Missile System. The procurement of Compact Autonomous Surface Craft will provide the capability to the Indian Navy for detection, classification and neutralisation of threats in anti-submarine warfare missions.

Barak-1 upgrade? Could be life extension IMO.
