How Akash Defence system works?
Air Defense System Overview
Introduction to Akash Air Defense System
- The Akash Air Defense System is designed to detect enemy threats such as fighter jets (e.g., F16), drones, or cruise missiles approaching national borders.
- It utilizes a powerful 3D radar that not only detects but also calculates the speed, altitude, and direction of incoming threats.
Threat Engagement Process
- Upon confirming a threat, the command system launches an Akash missile vertically within seconds.
- The missile can adjust its trajectory mid-flight based on continuous signals received from ground-based radar systems.
- Unlike fire-and-forget missiles, the Akash missile remains guided throughout its flight path, allowing it to adapt if the enemy changes direction.
