Seriously speaking, I'd love to conduct our affairs in that way, esp with our tenders foretelling every little bit about our non-strategic (read, nuclear) projects.

Found this drdo article on networking of pechora system with flycather. Guessing this is the upgrade pechora might receive. Lot of technical details on working of pechora system.Karan M wrote:Two reasons to keep them around. Non traditional band radars. Second, likely to be replaced by Akash NG not Akash or another system. Very few Pechora firing units are left from the original 60.
Good Find , So DRDO integrated a MMW FC radar to the X band FC radar of Pechora system to make it jam proof .arvin wrote:x-posting from lca mk2 thread

Nag seeker is a single color LWIR (8 to 13 um) FPAramana wrote:PDV seeker identifies a hot Reentry vehicle against a cool background.
The Nag seeker with a cooler would be good basis for WVR.
Incorrect. Production version of Nag has a high resolution IIR seeker developed DRDO and produced by BDL.Picklu wrote:
More importantly, even the Nag seeker is not our own but comes from Sofradir who, while sells the seeker, does not provide any datasheet for the same
The major success in the Nag programme was achieved after the DRDO missile complex developed the
indigenous seeker for the Nag missile, which helped it in hitting targets successfully.
"The earlier seeker used in the missile could not differentiate between the tank and its surrounding desert
sand as the temperature difference between the two was almost negligible during the summer season.
However, the indigenous seeker has the capability to differentiate between the two and has consistently hit
targets during the trials in the last two years," the sources said.
"The fire-and-forget Nag missile with the indigenous seeker can successfully target enemy tanks even in
the worst desert conditions during summer with great accuracy," the sources said.
The seekers imported from a European country were developed as per the weather
conditions there and were not able to adapt to the extreme weather conditions in the desert terrain in India.
Dual colour seekers for ATGM are already available.ramana wrote:sivab, His key point is the need for dual color sensor for AAM use.
Can we confirm the Nag seeker data sheet? I recall Current Science had a paper on it linked long ago in this forum.
Why would we want an expensive seeker to destroy bunkers ? At the low end, Carl Gustav should do and at the higher end, Milan 2T should do. Nothing more sophisticated than that. And as for soft-skinned vehicles, the 30mm cannon of the BMP is more than sufficient (tempted to say 12.5mm HMG should be enough - going by videos that I have seen).Singha wrote:there is no way in hell we can afford such cost to use Nag for hitting bunkers or soft skinned vehicles. will need to be kept for the 1% case of real tanks and expire on the shelf.
the MPATGM we need to ensure its cost effective for volume use, not wrapped in wool in AC bunker.
1 crore is around $150k USD. that for a 4km range weapon.
in comparison a 155mm shell is just $1000 USD. ie 150x cheaper.
You are correct about the Nag/Helina seeker. The DRDO seeker is indigenous and BDL manufactures them. Earlier imported Sofradir seeker was used.Prem Kumar wrote:Maybe I am missing something. But wasn't Sofradir for Nag/Helina just an interim solution? We have reports of trials with indigenous seeker mentioned above in this very page.
So, what is this thing about imported seekers for Nag/Helina?
