Indian Missile News And Discussion

[Arun_S]

250Kg payload is the modern number for conventional as well as low/medium yield strategic warheads.



The key is precision navigation and target acquistion; Multi sensor fusion built atop of Ring Laser Gyro based INS gives very high precision ( BrhMos-BlkII is just one of the example) and that hopefully drove the design for smaller craft. Tomahwak is an old/obsolte missile that IMHO is not worth emulating. Storn Shadow etc are good missiles to compare in building new missiles.



IMHO the key technology in Nirbhay are two:

1. Very small turbo jet.

2. Precision navigation and sensor fusion.



Very small turbo jet has been in development for a long time, and it is nothing like Lakshay engine. Small turbine engine technology has experienced quantum change in last 7 years, and Nirbhay should have leveraged it.
