DRDO this month conducted the first test fire of its new Akash-NG SAM

Akash-NG is a new generation Surface to Air Missile meant for use by IAF with an aim of intercepting low RCS and high manoeuvring aerial threats. It is capable of engaging up to 10 targets near simultaneously.

It has dual pulse propulsion and a high supersonic terminal speed.

Akash-NG has a range of 70 km.

The new system comes with an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) multi-function radar that features all three functions - search, track and fire control in one platform.

I am ok , just managing

I was busy with normal things , nothing out of the ordinary and I kind of lost interest here, came back becz I got free time for a week and aeroindia is happening this week .

Six Airbus A320 airliners operated by India’s national carrier Air India will be modified, integrated with sensors and delivered to the Indian Air Force as new airborne early warning & control (AEW&C) aircraft.

The Ministry of Defence couple of months back cleared a Rs 10,500 crore program in which DRDO will integrate radars and sensors on six Airbus A320 commercial airliners from national carrier Air India’s current fleet.

The six aircraft are to sent to France, where they will be refurbished and modified to Indian Air Force/DRDO specifications.

If plans remain on track, the six aircraft will join the IAF to add AEW muscle to the pair of DRDO AEW&C Netra jets in service and three older PHALCON AWACS jets.

It is not clear if this new move, supplants earlier plans by the DRDO to deliver an Airbus A330 based AWACS system though the two systems are significantly different in capability and scope.

The radar configuration is not known it could be either beam type or radome or flattop .
