    DRDO Successfully Tests Armour-Piercing Nag Missiles At

    Tue, 09 July 2019 DRDO successfully tests armour-piercing Nag Missiles at Pokhran range The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO designed and developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore New Delhi: Moving closer toward the induction of the Nag anti-tank guided missiles into the Army, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Sunday carried out three successful test firings of the missiles in the Pokhran firing ranges. "The missiles were test-fired during both day and night on Sunday during the trials. All three tests were successful," DRDO officials said. Government sources said the missile is in the final stages of being inducted into the Army which will use it by mounting them on modified armoured vehicles. The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO-designed- and-developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore. The system includes a third-generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA). The NAG missile is a third-generation anti-tank guided missile, which has top attack capabilities that can effectively engage and destroy all known enemy tanks during both day and night operations. The successful induction of NAG missile into the Army is expected to give a quantum boost to the Army's capability against enemy armour. NAG was one of the first five strategic missiles planned to be developed under the Integrated Missile Development Programme initiated in the 1980s. The other missiles developed under the project include Agni, Prithvi and Akash, and all three have been successfully developed and inducted into the armed forces.

    Akash Missile and Economic Growth

    Akash missile and economic growth Why in news? \n\n The indigenously produced Akash missile system will helps modernisation of defence and boosts economic growth. \n\n What are the significance of Akash missile? \n\n \n Akash is a medium-range, surface-to-air missile defence system. \n It is developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). \n The missile system can target aircraft up to 30 km away, at altitudes up to 18,000 m. \n It consists of a Rohini radar that detects incoming aircraft at ranges out to 120 km and relays the information to a command post. \n It has the capability to "neutralise aerial targets like fighter jets, cruise missiles and air-to-surface missiles" as well as ballistic missiles. \n It is in operational service with the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force. \n \n\n What are the issues with Akash production? \n\n \n The production of Akash missiles is not under single body, DRDO develops only foundational technologies. \n Numerous private sector companies will develop crucial sub-systems. \n While 330 smaller private firms feed into the Akash’s production as Tier-2 and Tier-3 vendors. \n Two defence public sector undertakings Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) will function as “systems integrators” that put the entire system together. \n The Akash production chain stands empty as the defence ministry bargains with BEL over the cost of its next order. \n Due to various norms the indigenous manufacturers face many difficulties in production.

    Sat, 20 July 2019 Indian Army successfully carries out trials of third generation NAG missiles The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019 By Manjeet Singh Negi The Indian Army has successfully carried out its summer user trials of third Generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile NAG at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges. The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the user-evaluation teams and the DRDO for the successful completion of the user trials. The NAG missile has been developed to engage highly fortified enemy tanks in all weather conditions with day and night capabilities and with a minimum range of 500m and maximum range of 4 km. It is a third-generation fire-and-forget-class missile and uses an imaging infrared seeker in lock-on- before-launch mode. The missile is launched from the NAG missile carrier (NAMICA) which is capable of carrying up to six combat missiles. The robust imaging algorithm has made the missile hit the target at a distance of 4 km even in severe summer desert conditions which is unique in its class. As part of the NAG summer user trials, six missions were conducted under extreme temperature conditions of the Pokhran Ranges. All the missiles have met the mission objectives including minimum range, maximum range, indirect attack as well as top attack modes and achieved a direct hit on the target.
