The Indegenious Indian BMD Program : A Detailed Analysis

[lepziboy]

Thanx Bhailog.
Any one hving pic of Arjun II ?

I believe you`ll also be the 1st one to have it

Will it be operational in time?

I am eagerly waiting for PDV which will replace the outdated PAD.Actually the PAD was never meant to be an operational system but a tech demonstrator for PDV.The PDV will have a speed of mach8-9 and altitude of 160km.It will most probably enable the BMD to intercept 3000km range ballistic missiles.

Its already under process of induction.
5 successess already.

Good news if true.But I doubt it because the PDV which will replace PAD has not been tested single time.It will need atleast 6 tests before being operational.So the AAD is ready but PDV is not and PAD will never enter service(it is not very effective in abm role as it is liquid fueled hence handling and mobility is cumbersome.So it will take time.
Feel free to disagreeg

Outstanding xinix! You missed nothing. I am proud that our country developed most critical missile technology ie BMD. Eagerly waiting for PDV, even moe than Agni-V.

well written post. thanks XiNiX

As I said the outdated PAD is not fit for our BMD.we desperetly need to speed up the testing and induction of PDV to complete the 1st tier because all other things(AAD:Speed-mach 4.5-5,altitude-32-36km,range-180-200km.Sword fish LRTR:Range 800km,can track cribket ball sized metal object from 600km.MFCR:Tracking Range-500km)are ready.

Have Patience Brother... Im sure ur words will be True Very soon as the Success of PDV is not to far, if u r capable of Hypersonic Missiles ( Shaurya ) already.

What is the full form of pdv

Wow! Thanks for the very informative thread!

I wonder what the interception time line would be considering that a nuke missile fired from a few kms across the border would take less than 10-15 minutes to a VA / VP.

Depends upon the nature of missiles
1. If its non balastic (cruise missile) a good SAM can intercept it. I think India have SAMs capable to intercept Cruise missiles.
2. If its Ballistic missile (follows ballistic parabolic atmosphere reentry path) AAD and PAD can intercept it. Remember that the re-entry warheads are at very high speed (Mach 10+ in some case mach 34)
3. If it is rocket (not reach high altitude) it can be destroyed using Iron Dome kind of technology...

I guessed Correctly. This is a trademark Xinix Thread.

Excellent effort by XiNiX.
