India, Israel to Build Anti-Missile System | Defense News | defensenews.com

NEW DELHI — India and Israel will jointly build an integrated anti-missile system to be deployed against Chinese nuclear and conventional missiles.

The new program, which does not yet have a name, has been approved by the Indian Defence Ministry, with a contract expected to be signed in the next six months, according to a scientist with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) at Defexpo.

The proposed missile defense program will see participation by Rafael and Israel Aircraft Industries in partnership with DRDO and state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).

The system will integrate the homegrown Prithvi air defense system, which is ready for induction next year, with the mobile detection radar being built by BEL in partnership with IAI. In addition, DRDO and BEL will work with IAI and Rafael for this program.

“The proposed missile defense program will be a network of air defense systems and radars from India and Israel,” a Rafael executive said at Defexpo, which runs from Thursday to Sunday.

The executive added that additional missile systems, both short range and medium range, will be tailor-made for use by India.

Indian MoD sources said talks have been underway on the integrated missile defense program for over six months, but gave no details on the program’s fate.

The Rafael executive said his company has offered to build a dedicated C4I system for the program. India does not yet have a C4I system for missile defense threats, the executive added.

Don't worry, it won't be used against your country.

..... ????

Would like to see how it compares to Chinese HQ-9B air defense system.

 

[Ayush]

good development.

HQ-9 and purposed Indo-Israel missile defence system based on Phirthvi missile are two different class of missile defence systems could not be compared to each other .....

Considering the Chinese arsenal of missiles is shifting to high speed, low flying, long range cruise missiles like the Long Sword family, can such an anti missile system counter cruise missiles?

He also said Russia will offer Tor-M2KMs to India as part of the recently announced tender for 52 short-range air defense systems to form two missile regiments in the Indian army.

Almaz-Antey will test a modified version of the Tor-M2KM in the spring, mounted on a wheeled chassis manufactured by India’s Tata Motors, the official said.

According to the company, Tor-M2KM is a highly versatile air defense system that can be mounted on a wide variety of platforms, including railway cars, rooftops and ships.

“This expands significantly the scope of its operational deployment, as the system could be used to protect stadiums from airborne attacks during large international sports events,” Baykov said.

The system can simultaneously detect 48 targets, track up to ten targets and engage four of them at the same time.

Low flying missiles are not really hard target. The main problem is their detection. U need elevated radars for early detection, like AWACS and balloon radars.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

Did they even test PAD yet?

 

[Falcon29]

What will they try to rip off their Sparrow missiles to India which are ripped off from US technology?

There's no such thing as Israeli missile systems, they're rip offs of US missile systems and funded by the US too.

 

[jarves]

Nice devlopment.
What happened to AAD??

 

[Mitro]

When your so called enemy is developing hypersonic cruise missile speed over mach 10 will be hard target to intercept why waste money on defensive weapon the best thing is to developing similar weapons.

 

[AUz]

lol...good for Israel. They are "milking" indian "cows" real good.
