The MIP has Tricolour painted on its sides. If MIP disintegrates on landing (most likely, free fall from 100 kms above, velocity 1.5km/sec) then that means Tricolour too will be smashed into pieces. Doesn't sound good. Each face/side of the MIP cuboid shape is like a flat plate with tri colour prin...

the directional thruster cap seems to fly away after launch. The cap is definitely for the sub-marine part of the launch.. Blunt cap.. even though speed of the missile under water is small, because of the density of water being high -- a shock is formed before the missile body.. and hence a blunt c...

Well from a stastical POV you still need a 3 perfect test to get that V Gama Graph as ramana had suggested , most likely as Arun pointed out the 3rd test will be done along with the Army , generally such test by the army was done on missile of production batch , DRDO seems pretty confident about A-...

Hi Fanne, The statement by Jaswant Singh that adhering to the MTCR would cripple India's indigenous missile program, if accurately quoted, is laughable (I am a BJP supporter by the way).

would it make sense to build a more modular NAMICA platform which can carry either Nag or Akash. need not be field configurable, but would be nice if one could take off a Nag top module and fix an Akash one depending on the mission parameters. using the T72 platform might also allow a 12 Nag carry?...

Agreed. However, what I am saying is that such a tilt that is required from near vertical to 36 degrees in the first stage is tilting and toppling the missile during the second phase burn. This kind of maneuvering is more realistically accomplished in the second stage burn when the masses are lower...

Arun,

I have done one more simulation -- same Isp & massfraction as before, but increased mass at burnout to 3167kg..

getting maxalt 830km, flight time 827secs, 2950km range..

rakall

nice. BTW, does that mean that ROCKSIM allows these kind of shallow flight simulations with the idea that if it were to be done in reality, this is what the flight would look like? In other words, does it allow you to simply switch the attitude tracker off and on during various design processes and...

Rakall, I have been trying to do what you have posted here and before (albeit not on Rocksim but still...) and at the risk of sounding stupid, I am guessing that when you say you have launched a missile at 36 degrees, you mean the injection point at second stage burnout, right? The thing is, I have...

could it be a deliberately flatter non ballistic trajectory to delay being visible to enemy ABM radars ? at the cost of some range ofcourse. Saar, I tries all that. All that flat or loft is impossible to generate 350Km and 800 second. Except when it does Natraj Nrytya. Arun -- I tried with a 36deg ...

maybe Arunji can sift thru this...3000 km in 800 s 1.5 t paylaod for a 50 ton missile looks like a low performance... unless there was, say a quantity of ballast equal to the third stage weight.....
