The Rudram-1 is an air-to-surface anti-radiation missile in development by Defence Research and Development Organisation. The missile is a single-stage, approximately 5. 5 metre in length and 600 kg of weight with cruciform wing surface to increase high maneuverability and to give constant aerodynamic characteristics. The project was officially approved in December 2012 with a budget of ₹317. 2 crore with project completion by 2017.
About Rudram-1 in brief
The Rudram-1 is an air-to-surface anti-radiation missile in development by Defence Research and Development Organisation. It is primarily meant for suppression of enemy air defenses. DRDO ARM has a range of 100–250 km which is made to be integrated with Sukhoi Su-30MKI as its primary test platform, although can be used with Dassault Mirage 2000, SEPECAT Jaguar, HAL Tejas and HAL Te Jas Mark 2MWF in future. The missile is a single-stage, approximately 5. 5 metre in length and 600 kg of weight with cruciform wing surface to increase high maneuverability and to give constant aerodynamic characteristics similar to Astra BVRAAM.
It uses pre-fragmented warhead with optical proximity fuze and is powered by a dual-pulsed solid rocket motor made by Premier Explosives Limited under technology transfer from DRDO. The first successful flight trial is expected to happen before year 2017. The project was officially approved in December 2012 with a budget of ₹317. 2 crore with project completion by 2017. According to the then Director of Research Centre Imarat, G. Satheesh Reddy, the missile will feature a millimetre wave seeker transmitting on frequencies of 30 Gigahertz and above while capable of lock on before launch and lock-on after launch modes.
