  • Shaurya Missile
    Shaurya Missile drishtiias.com/printpdf/shaurya-missile Why in News Recently, a successful trial of the nuclear-capable Shaurya missile was conducted by India. Also, Brahmos land attack cruise missile was tested a few days before this testing. Key Points Shaurya Missile: Shaurya is a land variant of short-range Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) K-15 Sagarika, which has a range of at least 750 kilometers. It is capable of carrying payloads of 200 kg to 1000 kg. It is a surface-to-surface tactical missile. These ballistic missiles belong to the K missile family - codenamed after late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam - which are launched from Arihant class of nuclear submarines. Shaurya, like many of the modern missiles, is a canister-based system, which means that it is stored and operated from specially designed compartments. The missile is less vulnerable to anti-ballistic missile defence systems due to its high maneuverability. 1/3 The K Family of Missiles: The K family of missiles are primarily Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs). These have been indigenously developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The development of these missiles began in the late 1990s as a step towards completing India’s nuclear triad. Nuclear triad is the capability of launching nuclear weapons from land, sea and air-based assets. Because these missiles are to be launched from submarines, they are lighter, smaller and stealthier than their land-based counterparts - the Agni series of missiles which are medium and intercontinental range nuclear capable ballistic missiles. India has also developed and successfully tested multiple times the K-4 missiles from the family which has a range of 3500 km.

Publication Date 2014 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California IGCC Defense Innovation Briefs January 2014 The State of Defense Innovation in India: Can It Catch Up with Global Leaders? Richard A. BITZINGER S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies India, like China, is an aspiring great power that has long harbored the goal of possessing a technologically ad- vanced self-sufficient arms industry—a quest for autarky and stature that has the country’s determination of one day becoming a major arms-producing nation, capable of meeting most, if not all its requirements for self-defense through indigenous means. As India’s economic power has expanded, and as its technological prowess in certain areas (such as information technologies) has grown, it has become more determined than ever to create a world- class, globally competitive defense industry.1 Like China, India possesses one of the largest and most broad-based defense industries in the developing world. It produces fighter aircraft, surface combatants, submarines, tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, artillery systems, and small arms. The country also has a huge defense research and development (R&D) establishment with consid- erable experience in indigenous weapons design and development going back more than 50 years. That said, India has long been confronted with serious impediments to its efforts to build a state-of-the-art arms industry.
