SMART is a next-generation missile-based lightweight torpedo delivery system designed to enhance the anti-submarine warfare capability of the Indian Navy far beyond the conventional range of lightweight torpedoes.
The Supersonic Missile Assisted Release of Torpedo (SMART) system is being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the Indian Navy. It comprises a supersonic missile that can accurately launch a torpedo against hostile submarines up to 650 km away.
ABHYAS, created by DRDO's Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), simulates a realistic threat scenario for weapon system testing. ABHYAS, which operates autonomously with the help of an ADE autopilot, includes a Radar cross-section, Visual, and Infrared augmentation system that is required for weapon training.
The recent test aligns with BrahMos Aerospace's objective of achieving a maximum range of about 900 km for the missile. This threefold increase in range since 2016 has implications for all variants of the missile, including the air-launched version.
Scheduled for late February or early March, the missile launch will take place from the Junput coast near Digha, a location facilitated by the West Bengal government, which has provided the necessary land for constructing the launchpad.
A key highlight of the Rudram-II lies in its versatility, offering two distinct variants tailored to specific operational requirements. The first variant functions as an Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM), armed with a PHH-IIR Seeker designed to neutralize radar installations with unparalleled accuracy.
Equipped with a semi-active laser homing guidance system, SAMHO ensures precise targeting of enemy main battle tanks, including those protected by explosive reactive armour, as well as hardened point targets and low-flying helicopters.
In the challenging terrain of Eastern Ladakh, where extreme altitudes and harsh conditions pose unique operational challenges, India is poised to deploy its first indigenous mountain tank – the Zorawar.
The Akash system, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and produced by Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), is a sophisticated surface-to-air missile system designed to engage and neutralize enemy aircraft, helicopters, and drones at various altitudes.
INS Imphal pays homage to the brave Indian soldiers who valiantly fought in the Battle of Imphal during World War II. This formidable warship is the third of its kind, belonging to the Visakhapatnam-class stealth guided missile destroyers.
