India-Pak Tensions LIVE | Story behind building of AKASH missile system
Prahlada Ramarao, former DRDO scientist behind AKASH missile system, says "Everything was a challenge. We were all very young, most of us were under 30.
The Air Force and Army had specified that the missile should be a multi-target handling surface-to-air missile system.
If the enemy sent 6-8 aircraft, the missile had to destroy all of them at once. The radar had to be customised for beam agility, so the missile wouldn't miss a target. The enemy aircraft had to be matched with us, as in, which missiles would go to which aircraft.
"That could have also been done because of the intelligence we have built into the radar and the command-control system inside the missile. This would ensure that it would match different targets, missiles simultaneously, accurately, and reliably."
