AKASH-NG - Next Generation Akash missile by DRDO
Recently DRDO(Defence Research and Development Organization) conducted
the successful maiden launch of AKASH-NG(New Generation) Missile from
Integrated Test Range Odisha. It’s a Surface-to-Air Missile developed for
Indian Air Force. During its testing, it intercepted the target with ‘textbook
precision’.
AKASH-NG is mainly designed for intercepting high maneuvering aerial targets.
Apart from DRDO, a team of BDL & BEL was also present there. The AKASH-NG
is equipped with a brand-new rocket motor instead of the old ramjet that is used
in the legacy AKASH missile.
Further, the AKASH-NG has two a pulse solid rocket motor which when fired
gives a longer range of 30 km by generating a high terminal velocity.
AKASH-NG can detect enemy fighters up to 80 km away. It can strike
the target within a minute. The rocket itself has been
re-engineered almost completely and has been brought down from the legacy
Akash’s weight of 700 kg to a sleek 350 kg. The level of AKASH-NG indigenization
is more than 96%. This is a further step towards ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.
