Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion

So, this LRAShM thing is a ground up design with hgv or a quality A1P with 3rd stage anti ship rf seeker ?

that rci guy could have told us maybe :sneaky: @Fatalis sir (pic was courtesy of old post, I think neutronx again)

Nothing related to our programs, but that booster is the sort of high thrust first stage you need to move into next gen of missiles. At 2 meter dia class & our level of high energy materials, we are at the peak with A5 veda etc. Stuff like that is needed to get into next level that can propel an aerodynamic high speed article to right situation to attain similar hgv like performance. It also hints why HSTDV needed a much stronger booster than A1 first stage.

21 meter length for the booster part only, a 2.5 m dia motor with almost certainly specific impulse Isp touching 270-280 or more. Our stuff are around 240 Isp, so the leap is quite large. This is just minimum condition to start making the rocket, control guidance algorithm part are another level stuff itself.

Should not be posting draws, but this is interesting, likely related to A1P perhaps. fixture jigs to hold the motor casing. 2 stages.

So in that interview (refer to DRDO thread) the scientist and PD TARA said

In 2023, the DRDO is running 40 such programs where different types of missiles are in different stages of development, especially the air-launch variants.

Anyone willing to make a probable list? :sneaky:

So first firing of Astra from mk1 at 20000ft , ~6km alt, if it was tested for much of the marked area of 90-100km , then we can guess what a further higher alt release at 10km can achieve, service ceiling of tejas is prob about 15km @Rajput Lion

Yes. But if you state its high range then you'll get labelled as a jingo, optimist etc. Let them live in denial;)

Ahem :sneaky::sneaky: copied from source you know where

He has contributed for more than 35 years in Design and Development of Solid Propulsion Systems and related sub-systems like Gas Generators for Missile Ejections from Canister, all stages of solid motors with regular and high energy propellants, auxiliary motors with cant nozzles upto 90o, Thrust vector control mechanisms like jet vanes, flex nozzle jet tab etc. for solid motors for Projects B05, K4, A5, A1P, LV, PRALAY, SLCM, etc

His recent contributions are collapsible mandrels, extendable exit cone and multi-nozzle based under water propulsion motors for Project K5.
