Latest technology development : ASTRA Missile

Description of Astra Missile

The Astra missile is an active radar homing missile. The missile is equipped with a radar transceiver and the electronics for it, which enables the missile to find its target by itself. It’s designed with the beyond visual range (BVR) concept kept in focus. With the BVR technology the missile can lock-on on its target even 37 km away. In addition to this the missile system is made such that it can track the target mid flight or through transmission. The air to air missile is developed by the DRDO and is capable of hitting targets both at short range (20KM) and long range targets (up to 80 KM).
