India Test New Rudram Anti-Radiation Missile and Will Soon Test K-5 5000 km Range SLBM

The Rudram-1 previously known as DRDO Anti-Radiation missile (ARM) is an air-to-surface, new generation anti-radiation missile (NGARM) under development by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to provide an air superiority, tactical capability for the Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter aircraft. It is designed primarily for suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), that can be launched from a range of altitudes for destroying enemy surveillance radars, tracking and communication systems. This state-of-the-art high speed missile developed in India is first-of-its-kind in the IAF arsenal. The missile will be jointly produced by Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).

Next trials during the period of July to August 2019 will be conducted initially to check the performance of indigenous passive seeker developed by DLRL with further test for an active seeker at later stage. While the crucial sensor technology is yet to be fully mastered by DRDO, the IAF wants fast track development of NGARM due to urgent requirement of newer anti-radiation missile. NGARM developmental trials will resume from 2020 after a gap of two years.

The DRDO Rudram was successfully test fired on October 9, 2020.

S5 is the code name for a planned class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines currently being developed by India. S5 will weigh around twice as much as the preceding Arihant-class submarine.

The S5-class of submarines are planned to weigh around 13,500 tonnes (13,300 long tons; 14,900 short tons). They are planned to be armed with up to twelve or sixteen K6 Submarine-launched ballistic missiles, each armed with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles.

The Indian government made an assessment of India's capability to design and construct a class of three new ballistic missile submarines codenamed 'S5' in 2006 when it was realised that the reactor and payload capacity of the Arihant-class submarines was limited. These submarines were initially planned to be operationalised beginning in 2021 but were later delayed. This delay had prompted the Indian government to sanction an additional Arihant-class submarine in 2012 to avoid the idling of the production line.
