Q1:
With reference to the Akash New Generation (Akash NG) missile system, consider the following statements: 1. It is a medium-range surface-to-air missile system developed for the Indian Air Force. 2. It uses a dual-pulse solid rocket motor instead of an air-breathing engine. 3. It is designed to be deployed only through road transport due to its size and configuration. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 1 and 3 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Akash NG is a medium-range, mobile surface-to-air missile system developed for the Indian Air Force.
Statement 2 is correct: Unlike earlier Akash variants, Akash NG employs a dual-pulse solid rocket motor, which is lighter and more efficient than air-breathing engines.
Statement 3 is incorrect: The missile system is fully transportable by road, rail, and air, enhancing operational flexibility.
Q2:
With reference to the Akash missile systems, consider the following statements: 1. Akash NG has a substantially longer operational range compared to Akash Mark I and Akash Prime. 2. Akash NG uses a ramjet propulsion system similar to its predecessors. 3. Akash Prime is primarily optimized for high-altitude and low-temperature conditions. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 2 only
C: 1 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: C
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Akash NG has an extended range of 70–80 km, compared to 25–30 km for Akash Mark I and Akash Prime.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Akash NG replaces the ramjet propulsion system with a dual-pulse solid rocket motor, improving efficiency and reducing weight.
Statement 3 is correct: Akash Prime is specifically optimized for extreme high-altitude and cold conditions, such as the Himalayan region.
Q3:
1. AESA Multi-Function Radar (MFR) 2. Ku-band active radar seeker 3. Electro-optical targeting system (EOTS) 4.

A: 1 and 2 only
B: 1,3 and 4 only
C: 1, 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer: C
Explanation:
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct: Akash NG incorporates advanced technologies such as AESA radar, Ku-band active radar seeker, and electro-optical targeting system, which significantly enhance accuracy, survivability, and resistance to electronic interference.
Statement 4 is incorrect: Akash NG is a conventional air defence missile and is not nuclear-capable.
