Long range missile to be test fired soon
[Deccan Chronicle, 15 April 2005]


Hyderabad, April 14: Taking a quantum leap forward in its Air Defence System, India will begin test-firing it's first Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile (LRSAM) in eight months. With its hit-to-kill power and 100 plus km range, LRSAM would be an enviable weapon for many technologically developed nations. The yet-to-be-named LRSAM would match or even better the American Patriot class of missiles in some ways.

The details about new LRSAM are still under wraps. But the trickling in of bits of information on the new weapon, within two months of India completing trials of Medium Range SAM, Akash, are a cause of happiness for the Indians. Akash that weighs 700 km went through a successful trial on February 21 this year. The 25 to 30 km range missile can carry a payload of 70 kg. The trial on the missile system in November last year conducted with a live warhead and active terminal radar navigation achieved good performance.

According to Director of Research Centre Imarat V K Saraswat the LRSAM will be fitted with a radio or radar seeker capable of multiple target tracking. Detecting an incoming object 400 km from its location the LRSAM flying with high super sonic speed would meet the object in its flight and destroy it. LRSAM would be multi-platform or that it could be launched from ground or ship. The weapon that is being developed for the Indian Air Force, would be canister based. Unlike the present open launchers, it would pop out when it is ready to be fired. "The mis-distance will be reduced and the target accuracy increased tremendously in the new missile," Dr Saraswat said.
