4. Missiles
All standard missiles are available in either guided or unguided versions. Guided missiles use sensors to
home in on the intended target once locked and launched. See the Weapon Guidance article for more
information on different guidance types and availability.
Unguided missiles (essentially rockets) are dumb-fire missiles without sensors and thus have no bonus
to hit. However, since unguided missiles don't carry tracking systems they have extra room for fuel and
more powerful engines (increase speed by 20% and range by 50%).

7. Various Launch Modes of Missile

8. Air-to-air missile (AAM)
Astra (Throwing weapon) is an active radar homing beyond-visual-range air-
to-air missile (BVRAAM)developed by the (DRDO), India. Astra is designed to
be capable of engaging targets at varying range and altitudes allowing for
engagement of both short-range targets (up to 20 km) and long-range targets
(up to 80-110 km) using alternative propulsion modes.
An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of
destroying another aircraft.
Astra Missile Launched from Air

9. Air-to-Surfacemissile (ASM)
An air-to-surface missile (ASM) or air-to-ground missile (AGM or ATGM) is
a missile designed to be launched from military aircraft at targets on land or
sea. There are also unpowered guided glide bombs not considered missiles.
The two most common propulsion systems for air-to-surface missiles
are rocket motors, usually with shorter range, and slower, longer-range jet
engines. Some Soviet-designed air-to-surface missiles are powered by ramjets,
giving them both long range and high speed.
 The Indian Navy has ordered the BrahMos
Naval version, both slant-launched and
vertically launched, for its ships;
 the Indian Army has ordered two regiments
worth of land-launched missiles for long-range
strike; and
 an air-launched version is in development for
the Indian Air Force's Su-30 MKIs and the
Navy's Tu-142 long-range aircraft.

10. BrahMos
The BrahMos is a short-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines,
ships, aircraft or land. It is a joint venture between the Russian Federation's and India's DRDO who
have together formed BrahMos Aerospace.
It is the world's fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation. The missile travels at speeds of Mach
2.8 to 3. The land-launched and ship-launched versions are already in service,
with the air and submarine-launched versions currently in the testing phase.
An air-launched variant of BrahMos is planned which came out in 2012. A hypersonic version of the
missile, BrahMos-II, is also presently under development with speed of Mach 7 to boost aerial fast
strike capability. It is expected to be ready for testing by 2017

Making India one of the eight countries to have capability to design and built such a system.

47. Maareech Advanced Torpedo Defence System (ATDS) is a state of the art indigenous system for
torpedo detection and countermeasures used by the Indian Navy. The system offers a complete
solution to detect and locate an incoming torpedo and to apply countermeasures to protect naval
platform against torpedo attack. Maareech was developed as a joint project of the Naval Physical
and Oceanographic Laboratory (NPOL), Kochi and the Naval Science and Technological
Laboratory (NSTL), Visakhapatnam.
Maareech ATDS
the advanced anti-torpedo
defence system – Maareech –
designed and developed by
NSTL in coordination with
the Navy.

48. Shakti thermal torpedo
The NSTL-developed Shakti thermal torpedo runs on monopropellant fuel, which can burn
without oxygen and so is useful in underwater operations. Under development since 1996, the
NSTL took nearly seven years to develop the engine and fuel for Shakti. The monopropellant fuel
can generate 400kW of power and enable the Shakti to move at faster speeds (almost double
that of an electric torpedo) and at depths of up to 600m. Technical trials of the Shakti are still
underway in shallow waters, and user-trials won’t commence till 2016 at best.
Under development is a torpedo called
Shakti with thermal propulsion, which
can generate 500 kilowatt of power and
rev up the engine within a second.

49. Lakshya (target) is an Indian remotely piloted high speed target drone system
developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) of DRDO. The
drone remotely piloted by a ground control station provides realistic towed
aerial sub-targets for live fire training.
Lakshya (target) pilotless high speed target drone system
Lakshya-2 is an advanced version of Lakshya, with more flight endurance, lower altitude flying and
higher cruising speed.
The Lakshya PTA (Pilotless Target Aircraft) is a reusable subsonic aerial target system. The drone is
ground or ship launched from a zero length launcher and recovery is by a two-stage parachute system
developed by ADE (DRDO), for land- or sea based recovery. The drone has a crushable nose cone, which
absorbs the impact of landing, minimizing damage. The flight path may be controlled or pre-
programmed, based upon the type of mission.

Lakshya is remotely operated from ground
to provide aerial target for training of gun
and Missile crew and Air Defence pilots for
all the three Services.
It is required for evaluation and development
trials of new surface-to-air and air-to-air weapon
systems. The test was carried out to check the
validity of its engine and duration enhancement.

Powered by a gas turbine engine and launched either from land or ship, it carries two towed targets to
realistically simulate enemy aircraft threat. These towed targets are used for training of gun and
missile crews, and for combat aircraft pilots.

52. ABHYAS (High-speed Expendable Aerial Target) Younger brother of
LakshyaDRDO Abhyas is a high-speed expendable aerial target (HEAT) being built by the Aeronautical
Development Establishment (ADE) of the (DRDO) for the Indian Armed Forces.
The wings and tail plane of the Abhyas have been derived from the Lakshya by downsizing them,
however the wings of the Abhyas are positioned on the upper-side of the body whereas the Lakshya
has under-body wings.
The fuselage for the Abhyas was designed by adopting the DRDO Lakshya tow body (not the main
fuselage). The fuselage consists of five sections, namely the nose cone, equipment bay, fuel tank bay,
air intake bay and tail cone. The material for the nose and tail cones are made up of composite
material (GFRP), whereas the material of the equipment bay, air intake bay and fuel tank are made up
of an aluminum steel alloy.
For propulsion it is fitted with a gas-turbine engine,
having a thrust of 25 kg, with an endurance of 30–
45 minutes.
