Satellite-killer not a one-off, India working on star wars armoury
印度正在研制“星球大战”武器，“卫星杀手”仅为其中之一
NEW DELHI: After successfully testing an anti-satellite (ASat) missile last month, India is now also working to develop other counterspace capabilities like directed energy weapons (DEWs) and co-orbital killers as well as the ability to protect its own satellites from electronic or physical attacks.
新德里:继上月成功测试反卫星导弹后，印度不仅也在努力发展其他反空间能力，如定向能武器和共轨杀手，而且也在发展保护本国卫星免受电子或物理攻击的能力。
“We are working on a number of technologies like DEWs, lasers, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and co-orbital weapons etc. I can’t divulge the details, but we are taking them forward,” said DRDO chief G Satheesh Reddy on Saturday. The A-Sat missile that destroyed the Microsat-R satellite, at an altitude of 283-km in the low-earth orbit (LEO) on March 27, was a “directascent, kinetic kill” weapon. It’s “feasible” to target multiple satellites with multiple launches of the three-stage interceptor missile, which can go up to 1,000 km into space," said the DRDO chief.
周六，印度国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)负责人雷迪表示：“我们正在研究一些技术，如定向能武器、激光武器、电磁脉冲武器以及共轨武器等。我不能透露细节，不过这些项目正在推进。3月27日，在近地轨道283公里高空摧毁Microsat-R卫星的反卫星导弹是一种“定向动能杀伤”武器。”
A coorbital weapon, in turn, is basically a satellite equipped with some explosive, weapon or DEW device, which is first put into orbit and then later manoeuvred to target the enemy satellite. Apart from these kinetic kill weapons, other ASAT weapons like lasers jammers, EMP and high-powered microwaves are being rapidly developed by , which first tested an A-Sat missile against a LEO weather satellite in January 2007.
另一方面，共轨武器基本上是一颗装备了一些爆炸物、武器或定向能武器装置的卫星。共轨武器先被送入轨道，然后被用来瞄准敌方卫星。除研发些动能杀伤武器，也在研制激光干扰器、电磁脉冲和高能微波等反卫星武器。2007年1月，首次对低空轨道气象卫星试射了一枚反卫星导弹。
Trying to play catch-up, sources say India’s long-term aim is to develop A-Sat weapons against satellites in both LEO and GEO-synchronous orbits as a credible deterrence against emerging threats to its growing spacebased assets. “Conversely, EMP hardening of our satellites and sensors, apart from other measures, can be done to protect them from our adversaries,” said a source.
消息人士称，印度试图奋起直追，其长期目标是研发针对近地轨道和地球同步轨道卫星的反卫星武器，以此作为一种可靠的威慑力量，应对其太空资产面临的新威胁。
"There is a plan to launch mini-satellites on demand for the armed forces if the main satellites are targeted,” said a source. DRDO for long has also been running programmes on a wide variety of DEWs like high-energy lasers and highpowered microwaves capable of destroying aerial and ground-based targets, but whether they can be successfully developed into A-Sat weapons remains to be seen.
一名消息人士表示:“如果主要卫星成为目标，我们可以计划根据军队的需求发射小型卫星。”长期以来，DRDO也一直在进行各种各样的定向能武器项目，比如高能激光和高能微波，能够摧毁空中和地面目标，不过能否成功发展成反卫星武器还有待观察。

India should forget Pakistan (they are doomed) and develop parity with at all levels (economy, industrialization, technology, defence, manufacturing, etc). was a backward country 30 years ago. Look at them now. India has the same (or better) opportunity. Seize it.
印度应该把巴基斯坦搁一边，全面发展各行各业，争取实现和平起平坐。30年前，是一个落后的国家，现在看看人家的发展。印度也有同样(或更好)的机会，要抓住这个机会。

In order to make a country strong it has to achieve basic four most important factors i.e., 1) Strong Economy 2) Strong Defence forces 3) Unity and 4) Able political leadership with a vision to take forward the country. It appears that the present Govt. is working in this direction to lead the country.

On one hand, we have a visionary like Modi who is hel India develop space weapons and into a futuristic, powerful nation, and on the other hand we have the small-minded opposition headed by Congress who can''t think beyond loan waivers, charity and appeasement politics.
