India Begins Indigenous Anti-Tank Missile Development Amid Javelin Talks

India has begun working on an indigenous man-portable anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), despite a U.S. proposal to co-produce the Javelin ATGM.

The project — a third generation Nag missile — is unlikely to derail the proposed Javelin deal, which is in only the preliminary stages of negotiation with the U.S., an Indian ministry official was quoted as saying by Defense News.

The Indian Army has a requirement for more than 20,000 third generation man-portable ATGMs, and all attempts to procure them from foreign countries over the past eight years has not been successful.

Israel’s offer of its Spike ATGM was rejected in 2007 because it was the only vendor to respond to the tender. The U.S., meanwhile, refused to transfer technology last year after a proposal to buy the Javelin on a government-to-government basis.

The full details of Washington’s latest Javelin proposal have not been released, but the U.S. wants to sell around 6,000 units within one year of the signing of the contract. In the future, the US would explore co-production of the Javelin and, at a later stage, work on the co-development of an ATGM tailor-made for India, according to Defense News.

The U.S. would also transfer Javelin technology, including the manufacture of the warhead, rocket motor, propellant, guidance and seeker, but no algorithms for guidance.

A team from Raytheon and Lockheed Martin has briefed the Indian MoD on the possibilities to be explored in the Javelin project, an Indian MoD official was quoted as saying in the report.

A Lockheed Martin says Javelin is better than any other man-portable ATGM because it is ejected non-explosively, which is useful to the Indian Army in higher terrain, the report added.

DRDO, meanwhile, has begun work on the Nag missile, which would weigh only 16 kilograms compared to Javelin’s 26 kilograms, the DRDO official was quoted in a report.

The man-portable version of the Nag missile is simpler than the vehicle-mounted version and, as such, could be developed in the next three years.

The Indian Army uses second generation, French-made Milan and Russian-made Konkurs ATGMs, which have a range of less than 2,000 meters.

A man portable NAG is in developement ..... That is a good news .....

 

[MULUBJA]

One of our scientist told that it can be developed within 2 years once the green signal is received.

Thanks for info.

atlast,some update on this..I was worrying about this project as it didn't get updated over 2 years..

India defense industry is doing good, but you guys need to work harder on your aviation projects, otherwise you won't catch up with the Chinese

remember buddy,our objective is to make ourselves a self sufficient country that will produce its own defence product,not to catch up with china.lets make it more clear,we don't want to become China.we don't have an aspiration to reduce gap between own's and USA's defence capability within years by any means..our Aviation projects will follow its own way,make and co-op.

Not to compare India to China is something that went beyond both states. Both countries economy is growing by leaps and bounds, geopolitical weights of both states is getting heavier and heavier, not to mention both countries happen to have one of the strongest militaries in the world as well.

Therefore, comparing them with each other is imminent bro. Plus, India has tons of projects already I'm positively sure they have got big things in store.

yup,both are big economic house..but still,our defence and research budget is small,though quite adequate.China has second most budget for military,so,its not quite comparable.plus,India started its big military projects quite late and faced delays.but sure you'll see outcome of some of our big projects.nuclear subs,Arjun Tanks,Dhruv Helos,LAH,stealth frigates,aircraft carriers,missiles..some of it.but sure we should fast track our aviation R&D..

Thank Russia, thank Israel, thank France for all the technology and components provided to India.

Don't be dishonest thinking you can develop all the components yourself because you can't.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

Thank Russia, thank Israel, thank France for all the technology and components provided to India.

Don't be dishonest thinking you can develop all the components yourself because you can't.

Thank Russia, thank US, thank everyone else for your designs. You took the dishonest way and copied and stole, India isn't taking that approach.


India has money, so the companies who made the product will get paid for their service.

 

[gslv mk3]

Thank Russia, thank Israel, thank France for all the technology and components provided to India.

OMG great chinese troll is back!!!....

With a whole bucket of BS

last time it was JH,7s shooting down MKI BS

 

[AMCA]

Thank Russia, thank Israel, thank France for all the technology and components provided to India.

Don't be dishonest thinking you can develop all the components yourself because you can't.

Thats what you think buddy, your thinking can only buy you a good sleep...

 

[President]

Thanks for info.

I think the proposal for partial tot from us is also after they saw the progress of drdo..this says something about the progress of drdo on this specific project for sure

Thank Russia, thank Israel, thank France for all the technology and components provided to India.

Don't be dishonest thinking you can develop all the components yourself because you can't.

you dont have to tell us what we can and cant do..nothing is impossible though rome was not built in a day..between..seeing the burning feeling i see in our neighbours ar..$$, i do beleive that we are on the right path!

DRDO nahin sudharega. Another bullshit. Once the MAN Portable NAG comes out it will only be overweight by 20KGs. Why can't they just keep their estimates closer to the reality. Luring money by showing moon and then delivering **** has become a habit of DRDO. Some one needs to change it.
