About
- RudraM-II is an anti-radiation air-to-surface missile that can reach a peak speed of Mach 5.5.
- Anti Radiation Missiles (ARMs) are designed to detect, track and neutralise the radar, communication assets and other radio frequency sources belonging to the adversary, which are generally part of their Air Defence Systems.
- RudraM-II has been developed indigenously by Research Centre Imarat (RCI), Hyderabad, the nodal Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) laboratory for the programme, in collaboration with several other DRDO establishments.
- It is capable of striking targets at a distance of approximately 300 km and can carry a warhead weighing up to 200 kg.
- RudraM-II employs an advanced hybrid navigation system that integrates an Inertial Navigation System, GPS-based navigation, and a sophisticated passive homing seeker capable of detecting and tracking radio-frequency emissions across a broad spectrum, enabling highly accurate strikes against enemy radar and air-defence assets.
