DRDO and PSU's

Occasionally someone on the kanglustan form raises a good point, and this time it was about target acquisition, and monitoring of the IOR. For these missile assets to actually be useful we will need to monitor our waters and beyond. And target acquisition and guidance. Without these, the missiles are just pointy rockets. What do we have in place to ensure our missiles are actually a threat to our enemies? How are we monitoring and tracking in our regions of interest.

what does it take to ensure the missile is effective

If there's no flaw in any of the subsystem of the missile then just improving the attrition rate (successful hits/total fired) is what's left. Now this can be done in multitude of ways from firing a salvo to catching the enemy off-guard to using it together with other weapons.

what is the end to end system look like for such a missile

It'd be impossible to get the actual RoE without a leak...at best, we can just guess the most plausible one based on our own knowledge

Radars on vessels, coast, P-8I, satellites, SONARs, HUMINT, ground troops provide the GPS vector of the vessels. Missile is fired at that. The seeker turns on and matches the returns with it onboard library to lock on or in case it's not known then goes for the most lucrative one.

what do we have and how extensive it is

As of now we've multiple radars types, over the years military satellite tech has matured quite a bit, there are SONAR listening arrays, aerial radars are there too in terms of sensors. As for effectors; the first layer of defence would probably be (1) Agni-II, followed by (2) Agni-P, then this (3) LR-AShM, (4) BrahMos and lastly (5) SMART.
Though technically (3) is from where you lose your advantage of overmatch and start to come under the range of Chinese ship launched cruise and ballistic missiles.

So as of now we have quite sufficient number of solutions to counter PLA ships except for one and that would be the hypersonic cruise missile. But hopefully soon we'd hear about that too. On a more practical basis the only thing that we need now it producing these in good quantities; going back to where I stated this post...you need to improve the attrition rate.

Thanks, that gives me a better idea how this system works

The basic difference between Pakistan and Indian military arsenal is, India can replenish all sort of strategic and non strategic weapons within days during an ongoing conflict and where as Pakistan due to lack of know how can't do that. If they think that they can get something from China or North Korea to challenge India then they are mistaken.
