EXCLUSIVE: What India's Stealth UCAV 'AURA' May Look Like
Commissioned exclusively for Livefist, and unofficially endorsed by a couple of people familiar with the secret programme, these are the first 3D artist's impressions of India's stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle, AURA, a programme first revealed here on Livefist two years ago. Currently in the preliminary design phase, the AURA is likely to draw design philosophies and technologies from the European flying wing UCAV concepts. Artist Anurag Rana had little to work with apart from the scant impressions that appeared here on Livefist from official documentation. As more details emerge, these impressions will be progressively updated and modified, so stay tuned.

Coming Up...
I've commissioned an artist's impression of India's secret concept stealth UCAV, code-named AURA. Since there are no images available of any models that may exist within the programme, the artist had to depend on the small handful of graphic impressions that I managed to scoop here on Livefist when I first revealed the existence of the programme. Since the art is only an impression, I ran it through two sources of mine -- one on the programme and another in the IAF -- and both said it looked pretty close to what the programme was intending to build. So for what it's worth, I'll be posting those impressions here tomorrow. Do stay tuned.

India Tests Advanced Interceptor Missile In User Config
DRDO Statement: India's DRDO today conducted a successful test launch of its endo-atmospheric interceptor missile., part of the country's ballistic missile defence (BMD) programme DRDO’s Air Defence Missile AAD-05 (Photo 1) successfully hit a modified Prithvi ballistic missile (Photo 2) and destroyed it at a height of 15 kms off the coast of Orissa near Wheeler Island. Radars located at different locations tracked the incoming ballistic missile. With the target trajectory continuously updated by the radar, the onboard guidance computer guided the AAD-05 towards the target missile. The onboard radio frequency seeker identified the target missile, guided the AAD-05 to hit the target missile directly and destroyed it. Radar and Electro Optic Tracking Systems (EOTS) tracked the missile and also recorded the fragments of the target missile falling into the Bay of Bengal. The interceptor hit the incoming ballistic missile directly and destroyed it at an altitude of 15-km. The mission was carried out in the final deliverable user configuration mode.
