Summary / Abstract (Note) | Building up on the military-technological/military-industrial successes achieved thus far through its 25km-range Akash-1 surface-to-air missile (SAM) and 80km-range B arak-8 LR-SAM (see FORCE February 2017) projects, India’s ministry of defence-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is now poised to achieve a hattrick of sorts by deploying a family of precision-guided weapons that will all use the same basic airframe — the Astra-1 beyond visual range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM), the quick reaction surface-to-air-missile (QR-SAM), and the new-generation anti-radiation missile (NG-ARM). |
