SOLID FUEL DUCTED RAMJET (SFDR) TECHNOLOGY.
#Defencetech #
GS3
Tested by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) recently.
□ ABOUT :-
◇ The successful demonstration of the technology has provided the
DRDO with a technological advantage that will enable the agency to develop long-range air-to-air missiles.
□ BENEFITS :-
◇
Ramjet powered missiles provide greater range and a higher average speed compared to missiles powered by solid propellants.
◇
Ramjet missiles use atmospheric oxygen rather than including an oxidizer as part of the solid motor.
◇ Ramjet missiles can also carry a bigger warhead as they do not have to carry an
oxidizer.
