Published February 17 2010, last updated February 17, 2010. An Indian scientist has for the first time, revealed that the Indian Shaurya new missile that can carry a warhead of one ton to more than 750 km, is specially designed to be launched from submarines and could participate in the Indian nuclear deterrent.



Launched from a submarine off the Chinese coast, it could be several large Chinese cities like Beijing, Nanjing and Shanghai.



As nuclear weapons based on land or fighters can be destroyed by a preemptive strike, nuclear deterrence considered the most reliable has always been the submarine missiles hidden on board a submarine.



VK Saraswat, scientific adviser to India's Minister of Defense, revealed that "We designed the missile Shaurya so it can be launched from a submarine submerged, as easily as from land. The container full of gas that houses the missile can easily fit into a submarine. The underwater part of the deterrent must be completely reliable and requires a missile at the forefront of technology. "



Deterrence Underwater Indian was far centered around the ballistic missile K-15, built with significant support from Russia. The K-15 was equipped only SSBN Indian NSI Arihant, which is being completed at Visakhapatnam. But now, after rigorous testing, the Shaurya could become the main weapon in the arsenal of the Arihant.



"The Shaurya has been developed as a missile can be launched both from the Earth for a submarine," says Dr. Prahlada, the scientist responsible for liaison with the army. "All the elements needed to install on board a submarine is already in place."



Shortly before Defexpo 2010, Dr. Saraswat had publicly stated that the Indian missile technology was well ahead of that of China and Pakistan.



Now scientists reveal that the missile Shaurya is not a ballistic missile, as was previously thought, it is actually a hypersonic cruise missile, which never leaves the atmosphere.



A ballistic missile is like a stone thrown at a target. Rocket propelled him upward and toward the target after the rockets have exhausted their fuel, gravity draws the head of the missile down and toward the target. Affected by wind and forces of re-entry, accuracy is a problem. And as the ballistic missile trajectory is predictable, it is "relatively" easy kill.



The Shaurya has none of these drawbacks. Its 2-stage rocket with solid fuel and accelerates the missile up to 6 times the speed of sound before it reaches an altitude of 40 km. After that, it stabilizes and navigates to the target, driven by its internal fuel.



While ballistic missiles can not correct their trajectory, Shaurya is a smart missile. The navigation systems guide the missile to target and eliminate the errors that inevitably occur during its turbulent journey.



The Shaurya, sources say scientists, has an accuracy of 20 to 30 meters after traveling 750 km.



The conventional cruise missiles like the Tomahawk American and Indo-Russian Brahmos have similar accuracy. But their engines make the air move slowly, making them vulnerable to fighter planes and enemy missiles. The solid rocket motors, independent of the atmosphere of Shaurya propel at hypersonic speeds, leaving hunters and behind enemy missiles.



"I would say that the missile Shaurya is a hybrid," said Dr Saraswat. "As a ballistic missile, it is powered by solid fuel. And, like a cruise missile can be guided up to the target. "



What makes Shaurya even more powerful is its ability to maneuver along a path in a spin that makes it very difficult to kill. Instead, a ballistic missile is expected. Its trajectory shows the target and the road to get there.
