Something like stunner interceptor
Stunner also has dual seekers i.e., both IR and RF, IIRC. Lets hope our missile also has it.
IAF to get indigenously developed Rudram anti-radiation missiles, check details
Rudram missile is India`s first indigenously developed anti-radiation missile that has a speed of Mach two or twice the speed of sound. IAF has test fired this from its Sukhoi-30 fighter aircraft fleet.

Reading this, and recent Skyroot rocket which uses Solar groups supplied propulsion system, it reached Mach 5 speed within 25 sec. Went up 89km in first try, say if we were to replicate/design a similar propulsion based surface to air missile but that can maneuver in the final stage, is it possible? how much range could it give say in SAM role and a different config air to air role?
Some very good discussion, one part I did not understand the context fully big z in, while citing extending range.
We all know about DRDO working on a 3 pulse motor. It will most probably be a SAM.

And then we have image of XRSAM which has a booster and is part of ERADS. So, this 3 pulse motor based missile can be ERSAM and with booster it will become XRSAM.

Could be a SAM but could also be an AAM. Say Astra IV, with range around 300kms and price half of SFDR. SFDR aka Astra 3 is going to be a very costly missile. Having a cheap alternative that has similar range is not bad at all.
Purpose of this SAM is probably the same as stunner interceptor....to intercept modern maneuvering short range Ballistic Missiles. Only thing to see here is whether it will have a dual seeker like stunner...cause that will be a game changer.
Stunner interceptor has been tested as a BVRAAM by Israeli
If it is part of ERADS then it can have multiple roles:
Most probably a SAM. If need be then A2A version can be developed.

We have seen this pic before I think, from ground trials.
Does anyone know who are industry partners with RCI for this & the MR project? Would have found out tentative milestones.

these tv guided pgm are pretty good, I don't think we have had similar indigenous work on such ?
