This document discusses India's ballistic missile defense (BMD) program. It provides background on the origins and development of India's BMD systems. The current systems include the Prithvi Air Defense system for exo-atmospheric interception and the Advanced Air Defense system for endo-atmospheric interception. Future plans include developing a 5,000km interceptor capability. Oversight of the program is conducted by the DRDO, but they resist military involvement and independent verification. The document also examines India's perceptions of threats from Pakistan and China's growing missile capabilities. It recommends increasing political oversight of BMD and linking objectives to a strategic defense review to strengthen the program's credibility.
Akash is an all weather area air defence weapon system for defending vulnerable areas against medium range air targets penetrating from low, medium and high altitudes. The system is designed to neutralize multiple aerial targets attacking from several directions simultaneously. The system is autonomous and its operation is fully automated.

Up to my knowledge, I collect all information about Indian missiles for the purpose of missile studies and their types to know simple understanding, to get educate their thought.

Aerodynamic characterisitics of a missile componentseSAT Journals
Abstract
A Missile is a self-propelled guided weapon system that travels through air or space. A powered, guided munitions that travels through the air or space is known as a missile (or guided missile). The Missile is defined as a space transversing unmanned vehicle that contains the means for controlling its flight path. The aerodynamic characteristics of a missile components such as body, wing and tail are calculated by using analytical methods to predict the drag and the normal forces of the missile. The total drag of the body is computed by using the parasite drag, wave drag, skin friction drag and base drag. The wing surface normal force coefficient (CN)Wing is a function of Mach number, local angle of attack, aspect ratio, and the wing surface plan form area (CN)Wing , based on the missile reference area, decreases with increasing supersonic Mach number and increases with angle of attack and the wing surface area. When the wing surface area is reduced the total weight of the missile and drag are reduced thereby increasing the lift and achieve excessive stability.
Keywords—Aerodynamics, drag, missile, normal forces and stability
This presentation details the overview of the aerospace & defense sector. It highlights the current scenario of the sector in India as well Gujarat and also features details about government policies and Make in India initiative to develop industries & promote investment in the sector.

Naval Strategic Insight by Rear Admiral Dr. S. Kulshrestha (Retd.), INDIAN NAVYIndraStra Global
It is with great pleasure that we present to you the Naval Strategic Insight by Rear Admiral Dr. S. Kulshrestha (Retd.), INDIAN NAVY through the collection of 7 strategic articles pertaining to India’s role in maritime security apparatus of Indian Ocean and beyond. We hope the readers will find this report both informative and interesting, that it will give everyone a greater understanding of the work undertaken by the author and our organization.
This Naval Strategic Insight for the period July 2015 is ambitious and this is as it should be. As we prepare to meet ongoing commitments of our contributors, it is important that our structures fit the overall strategy by providing effective delivery of quality analysis as a primary goal. IndraStra Global has had a proud record of achievement in recent months and we know that it has the people, the resources and the will to build on these successes and to face the future with confidence.

Vibrant Gujarat Summit Profile on Defence offsetVibrant Gujarat
• With perceived threats and a recovering economy, defence spending to increase substantially.
• Present Offset Opportunity is estimated at USD 5 bn.
• Offset opportunity expected to rise to USD 12 billion over next 3 years and USD 4‐5bn per year thereafter.
• Greater private sector participation in defence, to be in favour of Indian companies.
• 55% of offset contracts are taken by the private sector.
• Indian Aerospace and Defence industry are emerging as an outsourcing hub for many services like CAD,CAM and CAE, manufacturing and design engineering, testing and integration, and technical publications
The long awaited (2 years) public version of the LTIPP is finally available. It is called the Technology Perspective & Capability Roadmap-2013. It is meant to provide a long-term direction to all those interested in participating in the Indian defense market.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
