Hypersonic Glide Vehicle: India is now developing such a deadly weapon in its defense sector, which will become a time for enemies in the coming time. The country’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is working on a high-speed and state-of-the-art missile system called Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV). Its speed is so high that it can fly 21 times faster than the speed of voice, ie at a speed of about 25,900 km per hour.
Preparation for Game-Chariser Technology
Recently, important information related to this project of DRDO was shared in the foundation stone laying program of Kerala Spacepark. It was told that HGV is being prepared at the Advanced Systems Laboratory in Hyderabad. DRDO is making it with the help of Indian Institute of Science (IISC) and the country’s private defense companies.
What is its strength?
The biggest feature of this missile is its unique range and speed. It can kill more than 5,500 kilometers and is capable of carrying both traditional and nuclear weapons.
HGV is designed in such a way that it can bear excessive heat. For this, light composite material and advance thermal protection system has been installed, which can withstand the temperature generated during its fast speed.
Enemy defense systems will fail
While normal ballistic missiles run on a fixed route, HGV glides in the lower layer of the atmosphere after launching a booster rocket. This technique protects it from enemy radar and advanced defense system. It also has the ability to dodge Systems like China’s HQ-19 or America’s Thaad. Due to its excessive speed and long range, the enemy will not get a chance to respond.
Many platforms will be launched
HGVs can be fired from various platforms such as land based mobile launcher, air launch system, and in future it can also be deployed from Indian Navy Project 75i submarines or S5-Class SSBNS.
