Development of nuclear weapons was followed by various missile programs in 70s with development of various ballistic, cruise, surface-to-air, anti- ballistic missile and orbital launch systems. India conducted its first nuclear test and initiated with Project Devil as an attempt to reverse engineer Soviet surface-to-air missile SA-2 Guideline ...
surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missile: Mid-course: Fibre-optic gyro inertial navigation system, augmented by GPS/NavIC satellite guidance. Terminal: Active radar homing. 150 km (93 mi) Mach 4 High explosives, cluster munition: TBD In trials [1] Pragati: 170 km (110 mi) For export: In development [2] [3] Pranash: 200 km (120 mi) TBD In ...
Second phase of Anti-ballistic Missile defense test with AD-1 missile. The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defence system to protect India from ballistic missile attacks. It was launched in 2000 after the Kargil War by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. [1]
[6] [32] Given that the missile and canister were designated "LR-02," it's possible that this was India's second test. [33] Earlier, a report had suggested the test launch of a similar anti-ship ballistic missile that could target warships and aircraft carriers at long distances of over 1,000 km (620 mi). [34]
The test will be followed by integration of the missile with INS Arihant. [24] [25] [26] On 25 November 2015, a dummy or unarmed K-15 Sagarika missile was successfully test fired from INS Arihant. [27] The missile was tested for a total of three times on 11 and 12 August 12, 2018. This completed the first phase of user trials of the missile. [1]
Prahaar was test-fired successfully on 21 July 2011 from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur. [14] During the test, the missile traveled a distance of 150 km (93 mi) in about 250 seconds [3] meeting all launch objectives and struck a pre-designated target in the Bay of Bengal with a high degree of accuracy of less than 10 m (33 ft).
Prithvi I is a single-stage liquid-fuelled surface-to-surface ballistic missile having a maximum warhead mounting capability of 1,000 kg, with a range of 150 km (93 mi). It has an accuracy of 10–50 m (33–164 ft) and can be launched from transporter erector launchers .
Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large payload over long distances with high precision. Modern cruise missiles are capable of traveling at high subsonic, supersonic, or hypersonic speeds, are self-navigating, and are able to fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low-altitude trajectory.
