Intended Use of Equipment (Operational Requirements)

For farther targets, it is imperative to avoid enemy Air Defence and still maintain high probability of hitting the targets. This can be achieved by use of weapons with long ranges while ensuring minimal losses. Therefore a long range stand off weapon is an operational requirement to improve targeting deep set targets. The LRSGM is envisaged to be a Long range precise air to ground supersonic weapon which can enhance the standoff ranges of aircraft. The supersonic all weather day/night stand-off weapon is to be equipped with multipurpose warhead configuration suitable for various types of targets, including command and control centres, air bases, logistics centres, bunkers, munitions’ storage and other key infrastructure facilities. The LRSGM are intended to be installed on fighter aircraft of Indian Air Force using standard suspension system.
