India has developed multi-layered air defence systems (IADWS) to counter aerial threats with indigenous and collaborative technologies. The system integrates missiles, radars and interceptors for national security.


India's multi-layered air defence systems: who built IADWS ? 

India successfully conducted two flight tests of a very short-range air defence missile off the coast of Odisha, an eastern Indian state. The tests were carried out on Wednesday (Feb 28) and Thursday (Feb 29).&nbsp;

The defence ministry said, "The DRDO conducted two successful flight tests of Very Short-Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) missiles on February 28 and 29 from a ground-based portable launcher off the coast of Odisha from integrated test range, Chandipur."&nbsp;

The statement added that the tests were carried out against high-speed unmanned aerial targets under different interception scenarios.&nbsp;

"During all the test flights, the targets were intercepted and destroyed by the missiles, meeting the mission objectives," the ministry said.

The Very Short Range Air Defence System, or VSHORADS, is a fourth-generation, man-portable air defence system.&nbsp;

It is designed and developed indigenously by Research Centre Imarat (RCI) in collaboration with other Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) laboratories and Indian industry partners.&nbsp;

The statement further mentioned that the missile incorporates many novel technologies, including a miniaturised reaction control system (RCS) and integrated avionics, which have been successfully proven during the tests.&nbsp;

"The missile is propelled by a dual-thrust solid motor and meant for neutralising low-altitude aerial threats at short ranges. The design of the missile including the launcher has been highly optimised to ensure easy portability," it added.&nbsp;

Rajnath Singh, who is the defence minister, congratulated the DRDO and the Indian Army for the successful development trials. He said that the new missile, equipped with modern technologies, will give further technological boost to the armed forces.&nbsp;

India signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Russia for its famed S-400 missile defence system – a move which ruffled feathers with the U.S. and instilled fear in India’s hostile neighbours. But Recently, reports surfaced claiming that the S-400 deliveries have been delayed and they won’t be reaching India as scheduled... Will this hamper India’s defence prowess or does India already have something up its sleeve, which the world is not aware of... Watch Game Plan with Shivan Chanana.

Is India preparing its own missile defence system like Russia’s S-400? | WION Game Plan

Security is paramount nowadays and one can go to any extent to ensure it. This holds true for a FedEx plea, where it has sought to operate cargo planes, which have lasers that can throw off incoming heat-seeking missiles, as per newly published documents. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The Federal Aviation Administration of the US, in a filing on Friday, showed the company asked for permission to install the missile-defence system. &nbsp; &nbsp;

According to the filing, "FedEx missile-defence system directs infrared laser energy towards an incoming missile, in an effort to interrupt the missile's tracking of the aircraft's heat."&nbsp;

But what’s the need for it, right? Well, there is as a surface-to-air missile slammed into the left wing of an Airbus A330, which was operating for DHL just after takeoff from Baghdad in 2003. &nbsp;&nbsp;

At that time, the crew had returned to the airport unharmed. &nbsp; &nbsp;

"This has led several companies to design and adapt systems like a laser-based missile-defence system for installation on civilian aircraft, to protect those aircraft against heat-seeking missiles," it added. &nbsp;&nbsp;
