India plans to integrate Akash with US missile shield targeting China... Technical talks are already on the way. In the future, it is very possible that an Akash version will be linked to an US radar, located on Indian soil, and also US and Indian early-warning warning satellites. The idea will be, to prevent a Chinese ICBM strike on Arab oil fields and Europe.... This (Chinese strike) is bound to happen, when USA fully controls the middle-east oil...

India's medium range surface-to-air missile Akash was successfully test-fired on Saturday from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur on sea, close to Balasore.
The Indian-built multi-target, medium-range missile - having a range of over 30 km - is one of the many missiles currently under various stages of development by India's Defense Research Development Organization (DRDO).
The 650 kg missile has the capacity to carry over 70 kg payload, and uses an integrated ramjet propulsion engine. Akash, having undergone several flight tests earlier, is understood to be inducted in large scale into India's military, later this year.
Prior to the test-fire of the missile, the Indian built UAV (Unmanned Arial Vehicle) Lakshya II was test flown from the ITR, and a projectile launched off the UAV was targeted by the Akash missile.

Lakshya is a surface-ship launched unmanned aerial system, remotely piloted from ground. India has reached self reliance in unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The Lakshya is a turbojet system initially designed as an RPV. India is also developing it in many forms, including an air- or land-launched cruise missile system capable of carrying over 500 kg payload to a range of about 1000 kms. By April 2002 the Pilotless Target Aircraft (PTA) Lakshya had been inducted by Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. The Lakshyas developed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) are fully operational with the users.

Several Indian developed payloads are now available for UAV applications, such as electro-optic imaging, laser ranging and designation system, airborne laser ranger and marker (ALARM), and airborne infra-red target sensor and many other undisclosed systems. The gimballed payload buttembly (GPA), a two-axes stabilized platform for CCD camera and laser range finder payloads, has been developed to provide azimuth and elevation stabilization of the sight line against aircraft motion and jitter. An advanced correlation technique-based video tracker has been integrated with this platform for automatic target tracking. The entire system was designed to be installed on manned or unmanned aircraft. The system can also be configured to carry different electro-optic payload combinations.
Two types of scoring systems have been developed as a part of a version of the Lakshya aerial target, tow body electronics for estimation of the miss distance. The acoustic miss distance indicator (AMDI), which utilizes the over pressure produced by the supersonic projectile to estimate the miss distance, provides both distance and sector information. The other system is based on Doppler FM-CW radar principle.
Comprehensive capabilities have been established in all aspects of flight control design and engineering for unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) which include design of control laws, flight control electronics, sensors and actuators. Digital processors, software and analog flight control electronics and electromechanical actuators have been developed. The flight control electronics (FCE) for Lakshya aircraft employs an undisclosed electronic design, backed by an ASIC to perform flight control and recovery functions of the aircraft. In addition to albreastude stabilization and other flight control functions, the FCE also provides command and autopilot modes.
Indian Air Force had received the phase I and II deliveries in September 1999 and April, 2000. Indian Navy received its first phase deliveries in November 2000.
