DRDO Anti-Radiation Missile DRDO Anti-Radiation Missile The DRDO Anti-Radiation missile is a tactical, air-to-surface anti-radiation missile under development by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation. It is designed primarily to destroy enemy radars and communication facilities. This is a state-of-the-art air-to-surface anti-radiation missile being developed by Defence Research and Development Laboratory of the DRDO. The range of the missile is believed to be 100–125 km and it will be mounted on the combat aircraft of the IAF such as Sukhoi Su-30MKI and Tejas Light Combat Aircraft. The entire missile is being developed indigenously, including the seeker. According to the then Director of RCI,
Atmospheric refraction Atmospheric refraction Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air, decreasing (the refractive index increases) with increased density. Atmospheric refraction near the ground produces mirages. Such refraction can also raise or lower, or stretch or shorten, the images of distant objects without involving mirages. Turbulent air can make distant objects appear to twinkle or shimmer. The term also applies to the refraction of sound.
