DRDO Anti-Radiation Missile by the Indian government In February 2016, it was reported that captive flight trials of anti-radiation missile are planned for April–May this year, and the maiden flight test by year–end by the missile technologists of the DRDO. According to DRDO sources, scientists will evaluate the performance of the seeker, navigation and control system, structural capability and aerodynamic vibrations during the captive flight trials. These will be followed by ground testing and the missile will be fired from Sukhoi Su-30MKI during the actual flight trial by year-end. The missile will be inducted in about two years after conducting a number of
Optic axis of a crystal displays. Optic axis of a crystal An optic axis of a crystal is a direction in which a ray of transmitted light suffers no birefringence (double refraction). An optical axis is a direction rather than a single line: all rays that are parallel to that direction exhibit the same lack of birefringence. Crystals may have a single optic axis, in which case they are "uniaxial", or two different optic axes, in which case they are "biaxial". Non-crystalline materials generally have no birefringence and thus, no optic axis. A uniaxial crystal (e.g. calcite, quartz) is isotropic within the plane orthogonal to
