		The missile is based heavily on the SA-6 and is claimed that Rajendra is similar to the 30N6 Flap-Lid B engagement radar, used by the S-300 ATBM system.
		The solid-propellant booster accelerates the missile in 4.5 seconds to Mach 1.5, which is then jettisoned and the ramjet motor is then ignited for 30 seconds to Mach 2.8 - 3.5 at 20g.
		An Akash battery consists of three missile launch vehicles (triple launcher on a modified BMP-1 chassis), a Rajendra fire control radar vehicle, a long-range surveillance radar vehicle and an armoured command vehicle.

		Akash was conceived as an anti-aircraft missile system, as one of the flowers in the bouquet of the integrated guided missile development programme launched in the eighties.
		The missile has a range of 25 km, but what makes it superior to Patriot, apart from the mobility of its platform, is that it has thrust during the entire course of its 35-second flight.
		The DRDO points out that Akash, at about $2.6 lakh, is cheaper than Patriot, and with Bharat Dynamics willing to manufacture it, there should not be a problem of service support, something which the Americans, given their history of imposing sanctions, may not be able to guarantee.

		However, the airframe and sub-systems in the new missile were reworked to account for the higher acceleration experienced during the boost phase of flight; in addition, the short-range variant incorporates a new closed-loop guidance system for the atmospheric phase of the missile's flight.
		The Akash missile is intended to be an anti-aircraft missile and is designed to be integrated with the Rajendra phased array radar.

		In many ways, the "Akash" missile is emerging as a key weapon which is being developed by the DRDO as it employs ram rocket propulsion to facilitate carrying of bigger pay loads.
		'Akash' is the key in the sense that ram rocket technology is also to be employed by India for the futuristic reusable missile systems.
