How is a missile ergonomically designed ?

For enemy's musharraf

MBDA UK for Meteor on Mirage and MBDA France for MICA Mk-2 have approached.
Everything is on the cards for Indian fighters, & possible even without direct radar integration.

P.S. But seriously, we need to proof read posters before putting them up in international events like this. +- 45 degrees has changed to +- 450! And then ergonomic?

Making an expo debut is the Naval Anti Ship Missile - Short Range NASM-SR at #defexpo2020

Based on the above analysis, the following characteristics of the missile emerge. It is a three stage missile with a diameter of 1.4 m and a length of nearly 13.2 m. The first two stages cumulatively weigh around 17.2 tonnes (t) carrying 16.7 t of fuel. The PDV-derived third stage which includes the KKV weighs around 1.8 t, bringing the overall weight of the missile to around 18.5 t. Such a missile should be able to take out targets up to an altitude of 1000 km, as was hinted at by DRDO Chairman Sateesh reddy, after the test.

Now they will have them on 6X6s, and 8x8s in high mobility vehicles. The launch platform has wider traverse angles as well. This is far more battle-ready weapon platform. May be the 12x12s will also stay.

This "closing down" of Nirbhay program as a tech demonstrator without induction is a real crappy decision - but not a surprising one sadly.

I have seen the tenders for the new Nirbhay. It is more compact. But not much change.

I hope we get through with Nirbhay ASAP..
Very important and critical for us to get over the hurdle with Nirbhay and make it a workhorse and a highly reliale system (like PSLV has become for ISRO)..
The possibilites are endless..
There is a long wishlist :
Nirbhay-Mini 600km Range Airlaunched (3 per Tejas) LACM
Nirbhay-Mini 500km Range Airlaunched (3 per Tejas) Anti-Ship
Nirbhay 1000km Range Airlaunched (1 per Tejas) LACM
Nirbhay 1000km Range Airlaunched (1 per Tejas) Anti-Ship
Nirbhay 1000km Range TEL, Ship/Sub launch LACM
Nirbhay 1000km Range CoastalBattery Anti-Ship
Nirbhay-ER 1500km+ Range TEL, Ship/Sub launched LACM
Nirbhay-ER 1500km+ Range Coastal Battery Anti-Ship (probably an overkill.. unnecessary???)

So no LO design like Scalp?

It would go up to 1.5km in many real world scenarios as the pib release mentioned. 50 m is not good enough to id aircraft carrier from similar sized ships like container or crude carrier. For smaller ships like destroyers even detection will be hard.
I would suggest something like 10m resolution is needed for the application we are discussing.
Btw, kit, uav's can loiter for days and time capability is only increasing.

One single stage solid rocket engine vs a ramjet. Or is it a replacement for Prithvi legacy tactical missiles meant for under 300km ranges? A good missile for export too.
Avinandan wrote:Regarding Prahaar being ergonomic :-
Perhaps it is meant to convey that it is much more ergonomical than bulkier Prithvi and easier to manage once canisterized.

Its tactical ballistic missile it serves a different purpose than Brahmos and yes it will be cheaper as it doesn’t need to have a radar seeker.
