  • Air-To-Air Missile [UPSC Notes for GS III]
    Air-to-Air Missile [UPSC Notes for GS III] An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft. AAMs are typically powered by one or more rocket motors, usually solid fueled but sometimes liquid- fueled. The topic finds relevance in GS-3 of the UPSC exam. Types of Air-to-Air Missiles Air-to-air missiles are broadly categorized into two groups: “Short range missiles” and “medium or long range missiles”. o The missiles designed to engage opposing aircraft at a range of less than 30 km are known as short-range or "within visual range" missiles. o The medium- or long-range missiles, both fall under the category of “beyond visual range” missiles, and often rely upon radar guidance. The short-range missiles are sometimes called "dogfight" missiles because they are designed to optimize their agility rather than range. Astra Air-to-Air Missile It is an all-weather missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation, and its production began in 2017. Astra is the smallest missile in terms of size and weight, developed by the DRDO. Type of missile: It is a Beyond-Visual Range Air-to-Air indigenously developed missile (BVRAAM). Specifications: o It has a terminal Active Radar Homing (ARH). ARH is a missile guidance method in which a missile contains a radar transceiver and the electronics necessary for it to find and track its target autonomously. o The missile is capable of engaging targets at varying ranges and altitudes for engagement with short-range and long-range targets.

  • Built Anti-Submarine Torpedo Varunastra Soon
    Fri, 10 Jan 2020 Indian Navy to get first tranche of indigenously- built anti-submarine torpedo Varunastra soon The heavyweight torpedo Varunastra is a ship-launched, electrically-propelled underwater weapon equipped with one of the most advanced automatic and remote-controlled guidance systems By Ritesh K Srivastava New Delhi: The Indian Navy will soon receive the first tranche of indigenously-built heavyweight anti-submarine torpedo Varunastra, which is likely to add more firepower to India's marine defence capabilities. According to reports, the first tranche of torpedo Varunastra, which has been developed by the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL), a premier laboratory of the DRDO, will be handed over to the Indian navy within four months. Its formal induction into the Indian Navy will catapult India into the elite club of eight countries possessing the capability to design and build such a naval defence system. The heavyweight torpedo Varunastra is a ship-launched, electrically-propelled underwater weapon equipped with one of the most advanced automatic and remote-controlled guidance systems. The weapon system uses its own intelligence in tracking the target. Capable of hitting stealth submarines underwater, the 1,500-kg Varunastra can carry a warhead weighing 250 kg and has an operational range of 40 km. The anti-submarine electric torpedo is seven to eight metres long with a diameter of 533 mm. According to the DRDO, the submarine, which can travel at a speed of 40 knots (74 km/h), can be launched both from ships and submarines. It has GPS-based locating aid, a unique feature in contemporary torpedoes in the world, according to the DRDO.

  • Marine Nuclear Power 1939 – 2018 Part 5 China-India-Japan & Others
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 - 2018 Part 5: China, India, Japan & other nations Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.

    2016 UPSC Civil Services Exam [SCIENCE & TECH + INTERNAL SECURITY] A Brief Overview and Conceptual Guide © Nitin Sangwan Beginner’s Note: On Science and Technology: 1. It is advisable that you read some NCERTs if you are not comfortable in science and technology section. But let me assure you, science and technology questions that are asked in UPSC are not questions of science and technology per se, but are more of current events. So, those from arts background need not panic about this portion of syllabus. UPSC now a days asks only some conceptual contemporary questions which are not at all difficult to understand. 2. When you come across any news item regarding some significant scientific development, just google it to have a better understanding. Since this portion is a dynamic one, read newspaper continuously to be fully aware. So far in past couple of years the questions which have been asked relate to very prominent scientific developments or some basic contemporary scientific concepts. On Internal Security 1. ‘India’ is a god source of having a good overview of our defence and security forces. Read its relevant chapters. 2. However, the questions which are likely to be asked in this section, will be more or less from current events or our historical policy related to some countries like Pakistan, China, USSR, USA etc. So, it is advisable that newspaper is read thoroughly. 3. Relevant summaries of 2nd ARC can also be read (if you have time, just glance through the relevant sections of the full report) – ‘Capacity Building for Conflict Resolution' (7th Report) ‘Combating Terrorism-Protecting By Righteousness’ (8th Report) Always keep things manageable.
