India to work on anti satellite weapons

Washington, March 24: India, which is one of the few countries in the world to have significant space capabilities, is willing to work with the US to develop anti-satellite weapons, a top diplomat has said.
"This is an area of convergence on which we would be happy to work together with the US and contribute to a multilateral agreement," Shyam Saran, Prime Minister's Special Envoy, said in his address to the Brookings Institution.

Saran was referring to the recent announcements made by the US President, Barack Obama, about his intention to join multilateral efforts to prevent military conflict in space and to negotiate an agreement to prohibit the testing of anti-satellite weapons.

India welcomes this, he said.

"We have a large number of communications and resource survey satellites currently in orbit. Although this does not fall strictly within the nuclear domain, the need to ensure the peaceful uses of outer space, is important for nuclear stability and international security," Saran said.

In 2007, China had destroyed one of its own defunct satellites with a ballistic missile, sparking global concerns. In February last year, a US Navy ship too launched a missile that hit a dying spy satellite.

India is Developing Missiles to Launch an Anti-Satellite Weapon

India's first indigenously developed missile, the Prithvi, has provided the basic technology for further ballistic missile development. As a result of these efforts, the Indian government has several on-going ballistic missile systems in development that could launch an ASAT device. The Prithvi is a derivation from the Soviet SA-2 SAM. It is a short-range, surface- to-surface missile with a range of less than 100 nautical miles and a payload of 1,000 kilograms. The Indian Defence Research and Development Laboratory began design work on the Prithvi in 1983. India first launched the missile in 1988. It has been deployed as part of the Indian Army's weapons arsenal. India next developed a second generation Prithvi, the SS- 250 -- an Indian Air Force version of the missile. The SS-250 was first tested in early 1996. The range of this version of the missile was increased by about 50 percent but its payload was reduced by 50 percent. The Indian government expanded the Prithvi's test program in 1995 and conducted the last test launches of this missile on 27 January 1996 and 23 February 1997. Although it is not capable of launching ASAT missions, the Prithvi led to the design of a more powerful missile, the Agni, which has allowed India to make further advances in its missile development program.
