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).
