AKASH MISSILE:INDIA’S FIRST HOME-MADE SUPERSONIC MISSILE

The rocket is purportedly less expensive and more precise than US’ Patriot rockets because of its strong fuel innovation and cutting edge radars


Akash is India’s first indigenously created medium range Surface to Air rocket that can connect with different focuses from various headings. The all-climate rocket can draw in focuses at a speed 2.5 occasions more than the speed of sound and can recognize and pulverize targets flying at low, medium and high heights.

The Akash rocket framework has been structured and created as a feature of India’s 30-year-old coordinated guided-rocket advancement program (IGMDP) which likewise incorporates different rockets like Nag, Agni, Trishul and Prithvi.


Here is everything about Akash’s notable highlights, its range and why it is a standout amongst other surface-to-air resistance rockets on the planet:

What is Akash rocket’s range and capacity?

The atomic skilled rocket can fly at a speed of up to Mach 2.5 (almost 860 meter for each second) at a greatest tallness of 18 km. It can strike foe ethereal targets like warrior planes, rambles, journey rockets, air-to-surface rockets just as ballistic rockets from a separation of 30 km.

What’s the length and weight of Akash?

The rocket has a dispatch weight of 720 kg, a wingspan of 1,105 mm, length of 5.8 m and a width of 350 mm. It can convey a warhead of 50-60 kg.

What are the extraordinary highlights of Akash?

The rocket is novel in the manner that it very well may be propelled from portable stages like fight tanks or wheeled trucks.

It’s one of a kind the whole distance controlled rocket framework has about 90 percent murder likelihood. Akash has a kill likelihood of 88 percent for the principal rocket and 99 percent for the second.

The rocket is bolstered by the indigenously created radar called ‘Rajendra’ that can deal with exceptionally moving numerous objectives from various headings in gathering or self-governing mode. The rocket is supposedly less expensive and more precise than US’ Patriot rockets because of its strong fuel innovation and cutting edge radars. Akash utilizes ramjet drive framework which can block the objective at supersonic speed without deceleration. The ramjet drive and its electronic counter-counter measure gear likewise assist it with breaking any electronic sticking framework.

What are the segments of the total Akash rocket resistance framework?

Akash rocket framework has seven parts. It contains essential ramjet impetus; a switchable direction reception apparatus framework; an order direction unit; an on-board control supply; a framework equipping and explosion system; advanced autopilot; multi-work Rajendra staged cluster radar; 3D detached electronically examined exhibit Rajendra radar (PESA) and war rooms.

Akash contains four Rajendra radars and four launchers are interlinked together and constrained by the gathering control focus. Every launcher, outfitted with three rockets and one radar, can follow 16 targets. So altogether, the radar can follow 64 targets and at the same time dispatch 12 Akash rockets.

Who produces Akash?

The rocket framework is structured and created by DRDO. In any case, Bharat Dynamics (BDL) maker the rockets, while Bharat Electronics creates its hello there tech ‘Rajendra staged exhibit radar’.
