India likely to test 500 km strike range submarine launched cruise missile in March

[DDG-80]

NEW DELHI: India is planning to carry out the test of a 500 Km strike range Submarine Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM) from the east coast next month. The Indian defence forces' arsenal is also likely to get a boost as the defence ministry is expected to take up the case for procurement of an 1000 km strike range land attack cruise missile in a meeting scheduled this week, defence officials told..

There is a plan to carry out the test firing of the 500 Km strike range cruise missile next month. The missile system was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation, the officials said.

The Submarine Launched Cruise Missile is planned to be one of the critical weapons of the indigenously manufactured submarines planned to be built by the Indian Navy under Project 75 India, they said.

The cruise missiles of the defence forces along with the short and medium-range ballistic missiles are likely to be part of the rocket force planned to be set up in future. Submarine Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM) is indigenously developed with two variants.

The two variants are the Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) and Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM). Technologies like thrust vector control to turn the missile into and onto the target plane, in-flight wing deployment and in-flight engine start have been proven.

A trial of the SLCM was conducted in February 2023 and met all the mission objectives with a range of 402 km. Indian industries Larsen and Toubro, Godrej and Sameer are partners of DRDO in this programme and are likely to help the industry to take part in future missile development projects too.

India has supersonic cruise missiles in the form of the BrahMos which has now capability to strike targets beyond 800 kms and has achieved success in exports.

The subsonic cruise missiles are also expected to be offered to friendly foreign countries after they are fully tested and are inducted in Indian defence forces.

This contract is for the 1st submarine (INS Kalvari). Contract for remaining 5 subs will be signed in future.

This seems Pakistan centric.
Hope the range keeps on increasing similar to Brahmos.

Brahmos requires VLS

SLCM is encapsulated in a container to protect it pre launch and during launch from torpedo tube

Container separates after ejection when booster fires to get SLCM out of container and into water and than out of water till cruise phase start

But don't know which missile is this.... any info as I article I can't find....

Let's see what happens hope you guys I mean India have a good luck this time

 

[DDG-80]

It is likely based on the Nirbhay cruise missile.

 

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

It is likely based on the Nirbhay cruise missile.

Did nirbhay cruise missile is successful and it's in the inventory of your military?

 

[DDG-80]

Did nirbhay cruise missile is successful and it's in the inventory of your military?

●Yeah, 8 successful tests have been carried out till now.
●Limited number of the Nirbhay missile are reportedly deployed along the LAC
● Upgraded variant of Nirbhay i.e. ITCM will be mass produced with indigenous STFE

 

[DDG-80]

U guys are able to understand the fucking insane level of Technological advancements if this test will be conducted successfully for the 2nd time
Like Hitting Moving targets (Anti ship) using submarine launched cruise missiles is fucking insane guys
Totally insane
Like acquiring the enemies ship data and then hitting it through inflight data feed to missile is like next level of data link and satcom technologies guys

Yes - congratulations on joining the club some 50 years after its inception.

Do you guys have any SLCM which can be used for anti ship role?

 

[Oscar]

Normally, SLCMs are used for LAs not for Anti-Ship role

No, it is a COMMON use case - and at the end the underlying technology has been around for decades. The only difference has been the type of guidance which has improved - Satellite based guidance was first introduced on the SLAM-ER series - for an antiship use case although the primary medium remains IIR. The BGM-109B with its nearly 800km range was capable of two way datalink with satellite link.

Lastly, Babur-2 variant tested some 7 years ago is capable of anti-ship attack has a combined Radar, IIR and Beidou/GPS guidance … and its not some HUGE achievement. Just turned out to be overkill for the anti-ship role but they decided to adopt it for the SLCM variant.
Heck even the Iranians have tested variants with the same or better sophistication.

India has taken huge steps in defense technology and while this is a good step - definitely not deserving of the “revolutionary “ or “insane” tag you are on about. I would reserve that for ISRO or the advancement in indigenous radar systems.

It’s a good indigenous step but nothing world beating

Having submarine launched Anti ship variant cruise missile is totally different thing!!

You need to integrate all of your Early warning systems with it through data link!!

For that you need permissions from US to feed their P8I/MQ9/MH60R acquired data into inflight missiles.

Then for decoding that data to get the exact location and other datas, slcm need to have specific decoders which requires your processing systems!!

And their are hell lot of difficulties even i don't know much about!

If you send data through OTH radar then it will take several days

Coz when the submarine will come near the surface ship only then they will get to know about the required data about the ship till then your enemy should have been 1000kms away from the initial point!

I know that Link 2 mod 3 are in use nowdays which is already integrated onto US system to link all of our platforms but feeding data into Assets and into inflight missiles is very tough!!

One possibility is we can feed data through Satcom but this technology is not so common in todays missiles.
