Can someone tell me which company actually designed the seeker of Arrow 2?

mandrake

This could be a spin off from Talbott-Jaswant talks? ABM against TSP and China may limit the Indian arsenal to K. Subramaniam advocated numbers than the Bharat karnad numbers-thereby still consistent with DND and CMD? Pure speculation on my part-but could be true. Yes, That is why Uncle encourages ...

Can someone tell me which company manufactures the seekers of Arrow 2? just wondering.

Yups Rishi, I've posted thisearlier though.
a simple googling reveals this.

Dont worry Russians will never give chinese "their best".
They have their own security issue as they had border dispute and chinas govt has this odd obsession of annexxation.

mandrake

The one thing though is that China can purchase ABM technology from Russia. Thinking about it, if there is this Sino-Russia alliance that is brewing, wouldn't it be in Russia's interest to give China the S-300 technology? This in turn can then be given to Pakistan at their request in a "joint ...

Even if we develop an effective system, how long a bill are the babus willing to foot?

Joey son, that logic "He is from..." is an appeal to false reason. He might be a janitor from xxxx who picked up stuff from around the water cooler. And no one who works on such stuff will admit to it. So there. Actually Sunil knows him, hes long in WAB "highsea" and he is worke...

Relax joey. Just because fanne is joking about his mythical conference call does not make the EAIS/PADE a fake. Your bet is that the EAIS/PADE is real and not any Arrow. I told you I would pay half the 100 bucks. So same holds true even now. Fanne just summarized the many posts in this and previous...

John why are you giving those links? are you also among those who thinks this is Arrow 2?[which has been proven wrong]
just asking, but those links are pretty informative.

DRDO and its scientists have far too much to lose by either claiming a foreign product as homegrown or falsifying tests. The foreign arms lobbies have delivered their liafas and all the media knives are out for the DRDO. Problem the critics face is that this ABM interception is a big deal.. really ...

http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/MISSILES/Prithvi.html Prithvi-II missile typically reaches a maximum altitude of approximately 80 km (Mach 4), thus spending most of the flight time in the upper reaches of the atmosphere. The large delta wings and body lift is used to generate additional lift during a...

crapette, burnout speed for Prithvi is reported to be in the range 4 mach. How much more you want ? :) Kanson, where did you get this incorrect information? :twisted: Dude you didnt explained what i said, you know if your from other nation i dont have a problem but talk with facts in hand. I can pr...

This Prithvi exercise is only a technology demonstrator. To demonstrate the technology, all Companies or Agencies use controlled enviroments, implying that it is always a SUCCESS !!! So don't believe any crap anybody throws at you - THIS IS NOT AN ABM SYSTEM. In reality, Prithvi-X is not the weapon...

I'm not getting dileep's sarcasm or whatever.

All i want this is damn home grown missile and if someone says "i know indians capability", it simply pisses the hell out of me.

hopefully after some years pic will come and hopefully fannes post was not a joke.

there is money on bet.

VijayJ Radar was not used in this test. Like I said programmed intercept, you tell the missiles where to go and then make them meet in mid air. Are you really sure? TSR in Hindu did say a radar was used and the vehicle had 'active' sensors on board. For example IR is passive sensor. Kanson, If you ...

The problem is even our people called it first as "baan" (hindi equivalent of Arrow). Eventhough it is could be for fun, it exacerbates indian mentality of relying on others products to sell their own. This is called brand loyalty :wink: :lol: for gods sake someone go there and atleast cl...

Shankar why we just dont ask the DRDO community in orkut, if it was Arrow 2 or not.
just ask if it was arrow 2 or not.
by that noone is revaling anything, and we are making sure its not arrow 2.

Shankar It WAS not Arrow 2 for sure. dude they have developed all the things bit by bit for this, the dimension can be of arrow 2 check the solid rocket motor dia. anyways have you checked one thing? when the missile was intercepted no ground peoples eye was shown. then it was from ground and smoke ...

Joey, Boost phase IR detection means, detecting the launch and calculating the trajectory by detecting Rocket flame (i,e boost phase) using satellites. In boost phase interception, the interceptor may have IR detector (or visible or Near Ultraviolet detector) which guides the interceptor to the roc...

Ramanna sir,
I asked
Ok but what does "boost phase IR detection means then".
doesnt it means while the missile is going up...?

mandrake

joey, look at Prithvi vehicle design. It doesnt re-enter. It is called aero-ballistic missile. How can it get hot for an IR sensor to work? You can have your opinions but till it gets proofed in this mode its not useful. BTW radar sensor can also work on reentry vehicles. Ok but what does "boo...

mandrake

We can guess the type of seeker used. Prithvi is an atmospheric missile and does not re-enter. So IR based sensor is ruled out. Hence a radar based sensor was used. There were old reports of active radar sensors being developed for interception role by DRDO. The next type of ABM would have IR based...

Folks, it would be interesting to see the following tests in the future. 1. Akash against Prithivi or Agni. 2. Agni II (ABM version) against Agni I/II/III or IV. 3.
