DRDO Anti-Radiation Missile G. Satheesh Reddy, the missile will feature a millimeter wave seeker capable of lock-on before launch and lock-on after launch modes. The missile picks up the radiation or signals of radars and communication facilities and homes on to the targets to destroy them. Instead of thrust propulsion, the missile uses dual pulse propulsion system just like Barak-8/LR-SAM. The benefit of dual pulse propulsion is that it will widen the envelope as well as the engagement capability of the missile. Work on the project began in 2012 at one of the DRDO laboratories soon after the project was given the go-ahead
Sound speed gradient Sound speed gradient In acoustics, the sound speed gradient is the rate of change of the speed of sound with distance, for example with depth in the ocean, or height in the Earth's atmosphere. A sound speed gradient leads to refraction of sound wavefronts in the direction of lower sound speed, causing the sound rays to follow a curved path. The radius of curvature of the sound path is inversely proportional to the gradient. When the sun warms the Earth's surface, there is a negative temperature gradient in atmosphere. The speed of sound decreases with decreasing temperature, so this also
