Astra missile
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. Astra is an all weather beyond-visual-range
air-to-air missile developed by the Defence Research and Development
Organisation, India.
It is the first air-to-air missile developed by India. It
features mid-course inertial guidance with terminal active radar homing. Astra
is designed to be capable of engaging targets at varying range and altitudes
allowing for engagement of both short-range targets at a distance of 20 km and
long-range targets up to a distance of 80 km. Astra has been integrated with
Indian Air Force's Sukhoi Su-30MKI and will be integrated with Dassault Mirage
2000 and Mikoyan MiG-29 in the future.
K-100 missile
NPO Novator
started work in 1991 on a very long-range air-to-air missile with the Russian
project designation Izdeliye 172. Initially called the AAM, it made its first
public appearance at the International Defence Exhibition in Abu Dhabi in early
1993, followed by the Moscow Air Show later that year.
It was described as
having a range of 400 km; the mockup on display had a strong resemblance to the
9K37M1 Buk-M. Apparently some flight-testing was done on a Su-27, but it
appears that the Russians withdrew funding for the project soon afterwards.
MBDA missile
The MBDA MICA is an anti-air multi-target, all
weather, fire-and-forget short and medium-range missile system. It is intended
for use both by air platforms as individual missiles as well as ground units
and ships, which can be equipped with the rapid fire MICA Vertical Launch
System. It is fitted with a thrust vector control system.
It was developed from 1982 onward by
Matra. The first trials occurred in 1991, and the missile was commissioned in
1996 to equip the Rafale and Mirage 2000. It is a replacement for both the
Super 530, in the interception role, and the Magic II, in the dogfighting role.
Barak 8 missile
Barak 8 is an
Indian-Israeli surface-to-air missile (SAM), designed to defend against any
type of airborne threat including aircraft, helicopters, anti-ship missiles,
and UAVs as well as ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and combat jets.
Both maritime
and land-based versions of the system exist Barak 8 was jointly developed by
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), India's Defence Research & Development
Organisation (DRDO),
Israel's Administration for the Development of Weapons and
Technological Infrastructure, Elta Systems, Rafael and other companies. Bharat
Dynamics Limited (BDL) produce the missiles.
Trishul missile
Trishul is a
short range surface-to-air missile developed in India. It was developed by
Defence Research and Development Organisation as a part of the Integrated
Guided Missile Development Program. It can also be used as an anti-sea skimmer
from a ship against low flying attacking missiles.
