Important Versions of Nag Missile

NAMICA: This version of the missile is a 'lock-on before launch' system, where the target is identified and designated before the missile is launched. As the targeting system is based on visual identification, the range is limited. 

HELINA: This version will use a 'lock-on after launch' system extending its range to 7 km. In this scenario, the missile is launched in the general direction of the target. As it approaches the target, images of the area ahead are sent back to the operator who will be able to identify enemy tanks.

NAMICA: It  is a tank destroyer built for the army. It is equipped with a thermal imager for target acquisition. NAMICA is a modified BMP-2 IFV produced as "Sarath" in India.

What is integrated avionics technology?

  • Integrated modular avionics (IMA) represent real-time computer network airborne systems. 
  • This network consists of a number of computing modules capable of supporting numerous applications of differing criticality levels.
  • The IMA concept proposes an integrated architecture with application software portable across an assembly of common hardware modules. 
  • An IMA architecture imposes multiple requirements on the underlying operating system
