印度计划研发低轨道“卫星杀手”

印度PAD-1型反导拦截弹

 
 
据《印度教徒报》报道,印度首席国防科学家表示,卫星及火箭发射技术已相当发达的印度开始整合各方力量,研发一种太空武器,用以打击运行在地球低轨道的卫星。

目标瞄准低轨卫星

1 月3日,在第97届印度科学大会的会议间歇,印度国防研究及发展组织(DRDO)主席V.K.萨拉斯瓦特透露,研究太空安全将是DR-DO的一项重要课题。他表示,印度正在整合各方面的技术资源,着力研发一种低轨道卫星破坏武器(也就是人们常说的“卫星杀手”),能够摧毁敌方卫星、远程雷达、通信系统、激光制导系统和红外导引头等。

事实上,DRDO希望通过拥有攻击对手太空设施的手段,使印度在未来“网络中心战”时代立于不败之地。萨拉斯瓦特还特意将DRDO正在实施的印度弹道导弹防御计划与反卫星研究挂上钩,声称“两者之间具有互动关系”。

其实印度反卫星武器(ASAT)设计工作早就由DRDO和印度空间研究组织(ISRO)共同承担,具体细节没有公布,但ISRO主席K·拉德哈克里希南博士先前曾对印度《德干信使报》表示,“印度已经掌握了足够的‘直接撞击低轨道卫星’的航天科技……我们在每次发射(卫星)前都要进行相关计算,为印度卫星确定相对安全的位置,避免被其他卫星冲撞。而这种技术其实也能用于猎杀在轨卫星。”拉德哈克里希南还特别提出,ISRO正加紧开发推力更大、更可靠的太空运载工具,该机构正致力研制可重复进入太空6次的高超音速运载飞船。

美国全球安全研究所负责人约翰·派克表示,全球90% 的卫星都在距地面100公里的轨道上运行,美国空军曾进行过用战斗机发射导弹来摧毁卫星的试验,结果取得成功,这证明了近地轨道卫星的脆弱性。派克指出,不管是在军事用途或民间应用上,近地轨道卫星可能是目前最不可或缺的通信设备。

印度有啥能反卫星?

从航天技术发展的前景来看,未来反卫星作战的主要形式无外乎“摧毁”、“致盲”和“干扰”等三种。

“摧毁”是利用武器系统从地球表面或太空直接击毁敌方卫星一类的天基系统,所使用的武器种类包括激光、部署在轨道上可机动的反卫星导弹以及地面导弹等。

“致盲”是利用激光、微波等定向能武器,从地球表面或太空中攻击敌方卫星,使其携带的光学和电子仪器损坏,从而无法正常工作。  “干扰”是在掌握敌方卫星运行参数的基础上,发射相同参数的指令,使其不能接收正常指令或正常工作,这种作战样式比较隐蔽。

目前,印度已掌握发射大推力运载火箭及回收太空舱的技术,这意味着印度具备发射远程弹道导弹和精确计算卫星轨道参数的能力,有了这两项“硬本事”,他们实际上随时可以跨过反卫星战的“门槛”。

一旦发生反卫星作战,印度将把安装弹头的火箭射入近地轨道,然后沿着计算得出的轨道前进,直至摧毁敌方卫星,进行这种“摧毁”作战对印度而言不算太难。被称为印度“导弹之父”的印度前总统阿卜杜尔·卡拉姆就宣称,印度能够击落距离地面200公里高度的飞行器。

另据“印度防务在线”网站去年11月4日报道,来自印度理工学院(IIS)和DRDO组织的专家正致力于开发一种可重复使用的高超声速导弹。该导弹具备以超过5倍音速打击5000公里远目标的潜力,并且还可作为一种低成本反卫星手段。

而在卫星“致盲”方面,印度正试图得到俄罗斯的帮助,发展大功率激光武器。据美国导弹防御局(MDA)网站提供的消息,印度巴拉特公司和班加罗尔高能物理试验室都致力于陆基激光防御系统的研制,尽管它们对外宣称的目标是弹道导弹,但从其设计指标来看,该激光武器的功率足以穿透大气层,破坏近地轨道卫星携带的光学仪器。

积极保卫“太空财产”

美国《防务新闻》援引一位印度国防部官员的话说,印度军方决定加速各项保护国家军用与民用通讯卫星的能力。不过他强调印度太空战略是为了保护本国安全尤其是印度军方所掌握的“太空财产”的安全。“该战略充满‘积极防御’的色彩,不会让对手掌握先机。”

据悉,印度航天指挥计划正处于快速发展阶段,印度国防部准备让陆海空三军都参与其中,这项耗资达30亿美元的航天计划将把所有印度军用与地面信息系统连结成一个网络,使印度武装力量尽早达到“网络中心战”标准。

India's "satellite killer" and missile defense

Date :2010-02-11 by: Luoshan Love Source: Xinmin Evening News


India PAD-1 anti-missile interceptor

According to "The Hindu" reported that India's chief defense scientist said that the satellite and rocket technology has been well-developed in India began to integrate all forces, develop a space weapons for use against running in low Earth orbit satellites.

Targeting low-orbit satellite

January 3, at the 97th Indian Science Congress, meeting intermittently, India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) said the President VK 萨拉斯瓦特, research space security will be the DR-DO is an important issue. He said that India is integrating all aspects of technical resources, efforts to develop a low-orbit satellites violation of the arms (that is commonly known as "satellite killer"), able to destroy enemy satellites, long-range radar, communications systems, laser guidance systems, and infrared-guided first-class.

In fact, DRDO hopes to have a means to attack their enemies or space-based facilities, so that India's future, "Network Centric Warfare" era invincible.萨拉斯瓦特 is also being implemented specifically to DRDO, India ballistic missile defense program with the anti-satellite research Guashang Gou, claimed that "with the interaction between the two."

In fact, India's anti-satellite weapons (ASAT) design work has been by the DRDO and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) shared the specific details were not disclosed, but the ISRO Chairman Dr K · 拉德哈克里 Heenan had previously India's "Deccan Courier, "said," India has got enough of 'direct hit low-orbit satellites' in space science and technology ... ... we are each emission (satellite) before going to the related calculations, in order to determine the relative safety of the Indian satellite location, to avoid being other satellites collide. but in fact this technique can be used to kill satellites in orbit. "拉德哈克里 Heenan also proposed, ISRO is pressing ahead with the development thrust of larger, more reliable space vehicles, the agency is committed to development of reusable access to space six times carrying hypersonic spacecraft.

Head of the U.S. Global Security Institute, said John Pike, 90% of global satellites are in orbit 100 kilometers above the ground runs have been conducted by the U.S. Air Force fighter jets fired a missile to destroy a satellite, the results of success, demonstrating the Near-Earth-orbit satellite vulnerability. Parker pointed out that, whether it is in the military use or civilian applications, the near-earth orbit satellites may be the most essential communications equipment.

India so what can be an anti-satellite?

The prospects for the development of space technology from the point of view, the main form of future anti-satellite warfare is nothing less than "destroy", "blind" and "interference", three.

"Destruction" is the use of weapons systems from the Earth's surface or to destroy enemy satellites in space directly to a class of space-based systems, the types of weapons used, including lasers, can be deployed in orbit mobile anti-satellite missiles, and ground-launched missiles.

"Blinding" is the use of lasers, microwave and other directed energy weapons, from the Earth's surface or attack enemy satellites in space to carry optical and electronic equipment is damaged, and thus not work correctly. "Interfere" is to master the enemy's satellites on the basis of operating parameters, launch the same parameters of the instruction, so that it can not receive normal instruction or normal work, which is covert warfare.

At present, India has acquired major thrust carrier rocket launch and recovery capsule technology, which means that India has launched long-range ballistic missiles and the precise calculation of the capacity of satellite orbital parameters, with these two "hard skill", they are actually ready to anti-satellite warfare across the "threshold."

The event of an anti-satellite warfare, India will install the rocket warhead launched into near-earth orbit, and then calculated along the track until the destruction of enemy satellites to carry out this kind of "destroy" operations against India was not very difficult . Is known as India's "missile" Father of former Indian President Abdul Kalam has stated that India can shoot down from the ground 200 km altitude aircraft.

According to "Indian Defense Online" Web site reported last year, November 4, from Indian Institute of Technology (IIS) and the DRDO organizations, experts are committed to developing a reusable hypersonic missile. The missile has more than five times the speed of sound in order to combat the potential targets 5,000 km distant, and also as a low-cost anti-satellite means.

In the satellite "blinding" is concerned, India is trying to get Russia's help, the development of high-power laser weapons. According to the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) website provides news, India, Bangalore, Bharat and high-energy physics laboratories are committed to developing ground-based laser defense system, despite their claims that objective is to ballistic missiles, but its design specifications point of view, the laser weapon's power is sufficient to penetrate the atmosphere, destroy the near-Earth orbit satellites carry optical instruments.

An active defense of "space property"

The United States, "Defense News" quoted an Indian Defense Ministry official as saying that the Indian military decided to accelerate the protection of national military and civilian communications satellite capabilities. However, he stressed that India's space strategy is to protect their own security, particularly the hands of the Indian army "space property" security. "The strategy is full of 'active defense' of color, will not allow opponents to seize the initiative."

It is reported that India's Aerospace Command and is now at the stage of rapid development, the Indian Defense Ministry prepared to allow the armed forces are involved, the cost of 30 billion to bring all of India's military space program with the ground information system linked into a network, so that the Indian armed force as soon as possible to achieve "network-centric warfare" standard.

Actually it is much easier to shoot down a satellite than a ballistic missile. Ballistic missiles fly at extremely high speed with variable flight path and velocity, while satellite fly on a fixed path with fixed. Every things are developed for ASAT weapon, Long Range Tracking Radar to Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle.

But I wish India don't test a real ASAT. More debris on space.
 
Your english translation job is quite good. Did you find an english version or did you translated yourself because I don't think normal translation tool is that good.
