laser system is also on the way.I think, we already completed this SOSUS project...Listening Pods are already planted between the Indra Point and Banda Aceh and activated .somewhere inside the mountain Andaman underground station data processing is going onLooks like a Bond action movie. That's why the Chinese Yuan Wang class research vessel is coming to check

Is that something ship based?..like replacement for sonar?and using lasers underwater .a really weird concept
yes laser based systems are much more sensitive and resilient to false alarms.Is that something ship based?..like replacement for sonar?and using lasers underwater .a really weird concept
@hellbentWell this missile was assumed to be rudra m2 but it looks like SMART.View attachment 18097

It is intended for anti submarine warfare as far as I understand. Its primary role isn't anti shipping, they might develop as derivative on the base technology.Are you making a special attempt to play BMD these days Or is it coming naturally to you? Is the SMART developed to target ships or subs? Didn't I mention ships in my post? Where did you read subs in it?
Work in progress in some sectors, some completed. There was an international incident, while 2 friendly country's representatives were having the fun tour along with Indian people, off-course for tourism only.This guy is from USNWC,so reliable enough.
Maybe another indicator that a SOSUS like system is installed or currently being installed?
Tarpedo didn't had Black & White marking which is normally seen in Indian weapons under development & testing, could it be the case of missile induction test? Looks legit to me.@Chain Smoker you may be right. I got it wrong. Many people seem to believe the missile has Shaurya pedigree.
This was the burning question inside me, what is the mother missile of SMART. My calculations said it would be Pralay. I think it is actually Shaurya! Another example of what happens when you have the parts. SMART: drawing board to first test firing: how many years? https://t.co/ah0rQLbtP5

But this is an incredibly sleek missile. How do you slow down. You use the missile's body to create lift (and drag). i.e. fly it like an airplane. Remember, you don't have large wings or control surfaces for stability. And, the payload must be delivered as precisely as possible.

But before the torpedo hits the surface, the parachutes must be ejected. Then the work of the torpedo starts. Thankfully, this last part is well proven. Shaurya's flight also is. Benefits of atmanirbharta. We are no longer 5th country in the world to develop such a capability.

We’ll have a detailed post on the @DRDO_India SMART torpedo test shortly. A series of images from the launch, suggesting what looks like a Shaurya-type (@Indrani1_Roy points this out) launch vehicle. We’ll have more shortly. pic.twitter.com/Evc2v0iroT

Arre baba. Kuch socho toh. how can a Shaurya class missile fit on any Indian aircraft? It will fit on submarines and surface combatants if IN wants.

In the recent Shaurya test we were told the new version is sleeker and lighter. But we didn't get any photos. Maybe this is the new version. As such @Amal 's suggestion of UVLS makes more sense
Out here such disclosures are carried only if it comes from the pen of Shishir Gupta of HT with accompanying videos by ANI. Isn't it? @AshwinTarpedo didn't had Black & White marking which is normally seen in Indian weapons under development & testing, could it be the case of missile induction test? Looks legit to me.
Black and white/orange/yellow paint are used to ensure better visibility. In case the missile fails and crashes the helo crews will have an easier time locating these colours from the sky. These are used in case of first flight or early tests of new missiles. The Shaurya has been in service for a long time, DRDO is pretty sure it will work.Tarpedo didn't had Black & White marking which is normally seen in Indian weapons under development & testing, could it be the case of missile induction test?

He asked me about that a year back !@Gautam @randomradio ,
Is it coincidence that hellbent asked us about hybrid missile few days back?
No !! We just cut down the Shaurya to a smaller size without negatively effecting the performance. It was probably to fit the missile into the Brahmos VLS, the Navy will need that.BTW can we MIRV shaurya.? ?
I mean launch multiple light weight torpedo s over a area?
Vishnu Som's take on the SMART :
1. Come to think of it, the SMART system is possibly an Indian carrier-killer using an approach very different from what the Chinese have done with the DF-21D.
— Vishnu Som (@VishnuNDTV) October 5, 2020
3. The SMART system flies out to close to 2000 kms in the direction of an enemy carrier or fleet, it drops its torpedo payload which then loiters till it picks up its target and engages.
— Vishnu Som (@VishnuNDTV) October 5, 2020
5. Net-net, I see this as an Indian carrier killer more than an ultra-long range anti-submarine weapon system.
— Vishnu Som (@VishnuNDTV) October 5, 2020
What you can do is use the missile component of SMART, equip it with an X-band seeker and a certain type of warhead and then launch it at the carrier. That would be an actual anti-ship ballistic missile. And you'll need a salvo of such missiles to sink/mission kill a carrier.
