Akash Series Surface to Air Missile System
- Thread starter Aashish
- Start date
Nothing new but the most amazing camo ever to be in service with Indian armed forces, atleast for me.
Army Akash launcher :
Airforce Akash launcher :
If it fires the same thing why not just use one of them ? Also, I didn't know TATA makes the launchers. Probably their Defence Land Systems Division.

Engraved logo of BEL on the radar enclosure door. I like this.
Notice the hydraulic pumps on each of the hydraulic lifting arms. That's a is totally original design.
Love the camo. Reminds me of the beautiful camo that the K-9 Vajra has. Total eye candy.
That has got to be the best looking generator I've seen in my life. Who makes the gen set ? Kirloskar(KOEL) ? Mahindra ? Cummins ?

DRDO successfully test fires Akash-1S surface-to-air missile

DRDO on Monday successfully test fired Akash-1S surface-to-air missile defence system.
New Delhi : The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Monday successfully test-fired the Akash-1S surface-to-air (SAM) missile defence system.
The 1S is the new version of the Akash missile which comes fitted with an indigenous seeker. This is the second successful missile test conducted this week.
The Akash system has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) is the production agency.
Akash has already been deployed by IAF at its bases in Gwalior, Hashimara, Tejpur, Jorhat and Pune. The deployment started in 2013
Akash is a potent supersonic mobile multi-directional, multi-target point, area Air Defence system that can simultaneously engage multiple air targets using sophisticated multi-function phased array radars.
The advanced ECCM (Electronic Counter Counter Measures) features provide secure communication links with other Air Defence Command and Control networks to handle the counter electronic warfare scenario

'Desi' Active RF Seeker For Astra-1 & Astra-2 BVRAAMs, QR-SAM & Akash-1S E-SHORADS
Technological convergence coupled with engineering innovation have resulted in the indigenous Ku-band active RF seeker developed by the DRDO’s Hyderabad-based Research Centre Imarat (RCI) being adopted for use by three different types of guided-missiles: the Astra-1 beyond visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM), the land-mobile QR-SAM for both the Indian Army and Indian Air Force, and the Akash-1S E-SHORADS for both the Indian Army and Indian Air Force.
Given the huge requirement within a short timeframe for this seeker, parallel final-assembly lines are now being created within the state-owned Bharat Dynamics Ltd, VEM Technologies and the Kalyani Group.
It may be recalled that during the DEFEXPO 2018 expo at Chennai, Kalyani Group had unveiled its version of this seeker, which was then known as ‘Netra’. VEM Technologies, on the other hand, had been showing its version of the same seeker since 2015.
The maiden test-firing of an Akash-1S surface-to-air missile equipped with this Ku-band actiove RF seeker was conducted on December 5, 2017 from the Launch Complex-III at Integrated Test Range at Chandipur in Odisha. This was followed by two successive test-firings on May 26 and 27, 2019.
Following a final round of user-trials of the QR-SAM and Akash-1 before the year’s end, series-production of up to 4,000 rounds each of the QR-SAM and Akash-1S will commence next year.
The very same RF seeker will also equip the projected Astra-2 BVRAAMs powered by SFDRs.

Got an update on Akash NG. Its ****, so not completely reliable. But the claims made in the article are nothing beyond the ordinary.
Akash-NG will have better SSKP: Source
Published July 12, 2019 | By admin
Soon to be tested Next Generation Akash Surface to surface missile will come with better Single Shot Kill Probability (SSKP) then Akash SAM systems which are already inducted into Indian air force said a senior ranked air force officer to ****. Akash has SSKP of 88% but Akash 1S due to the addition of its seeker will have further increase in its Single Shot Kill Probability (SSKP) of Akash missile, which will further be improved in the next-generation variant to mid ninety.
Akash SAM requires to fire a salvo of two missiles to achieve SSKP of 98% but Akash-NG due to better SSKP over its previous generation missile and due to advancement in the seeker and onboard electronics will achieve higher SSKP which will negate the use of Salvo firing mode which will cut down the cost of each kill.
Akash 1S tested has achieved maximum test range of 28km and Akash-NG will have a minimum range of 40km and will supplement MR-SAM Air defense system which was jointly developed by India and Israel, which has a range of 70km. DRDO is in process of developing a local booster motor for the MR-SAM system which will allow it to be used to target in range in excess of 100km, allowing Akash-NG to cover crucial mid-tier 40 to 60 km inner aerial defense airspace of vital military installations and key civilian infrastructures close to the border with Pakistan and China.
Indian Army has decided to deploy its Akash SAM systems close to the border with China for the first time. Since Akash-NG will be a Canister based air defense system it will be better suited to be deployed in areas where weather conditions changes at frequent intervals and Akash-NG seeker has been fine-tuned for better mountain terrain operations for Army requirements but will be able to operate at desert conditions too with the same ease.
DRDO’s QR-SAM Air defense system with its range of 30km will complement in between Akash-1S and Akash-NG in near future but QR-SAM will be a mobile multi-terrain air defense system which will have the ability to move with the strike corps of the Indian army to provide crucial air defense against Cruise missile, Attack gunships and Fighter jet for it troops under contested airspace.
