WTF is an 'electronic target'??

Or are they playing video games?

EVERYTHING you SEE and HEAR or TOUCH or SMELL are result of electrical signals in your Nervous system.

Every action you do after receiving those signals is a response to that signal.

Same is true for a Missile like AAD.

The Interceptor receives electrical/electronic signal that says there is an missile heading its way and gives the speed, azimuth, height, coordinates, flight path, etc of the incoming missile. The AAD is then fired and its path is determined by the provided input.

The control systems on AAD has to respond accurately to guide the Interceptor to the exact spot where it can intercept the incoming missile. Apparently that has been achieved flawlessly.

Next step will be to test it with an actual incoming missile.

Good. Best of luck for the actual firing .

Upgraded interceptor missile successfully engages electronically simulated target missile - The Hindu

India's Ballistic Missile Defence system's capabilities received a boost on Sunday after an upgraded version of the interceptor missile was successfully launched against an electronically simulated target missile over the Bay of Bengal.

The anti-ballistic missile, called AAD ( Advanced Air Defence) took off at 9.40 a.m. from the A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Wheeler Island soon after it received the command to waylay and destroy an incoming target missile in the endo-atmosphere (below 40 km altitude) after the conditions for the latter were electronically simulated without the actual launch of the missile.

Conditions similar to the launch of a target missile from Balasore were simulated electronically and upon receiving its coordinates, the interceptor missile travelling at supersonic speed engaged and destroyed the "virtual target" in mid-flight.

India plans to deploy a two-tiered Ballistic Missile Defence system to protect important cities and vital installations from enemy attack. The first phase of the two-layered system seeks to destroy incoming enemy missiles of 2,000 km range, while the second phase envisages killing incoming missiles of more than 2,000 km.

With Sunday's mission, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has conducted 11 interceptor missile tests. While eight of the missions were in endo-atmosphere, the remaining three were in exo-atmosphere. Nine of the missions have been successful so far.

Nice these will help tighten our air defense along with s-400

why the similarity?

prahaar

why the similarity?

Because Prahar is a modified surface to surface version of AAD .

 

[sathya]

That means seeker is not tested ?

Since target location is electronically fed.

 

[Green Angel]

Video...???

Supaa powa lol! Still using imaginary targets. Another imaginary Indian 'development' like Tejass.

Remember our nukes are not imaginary!
