A ballistic missile is a type of missile that uses projectile motion to deliver warheads on a target. These weapons are powered only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered. These weapons are powered only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered.
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]
[14] [1] The missile is an amalgamation of technologies developed for exoatmospheric interceptor missile Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV) and the Prahaar tactical missile. [1] [15] [16] The project to develop Pralay was sanctioned in March 2015 with a budget of ₹ 332.88 crore (equivalent to ₹ 502 crore or US$57 million in 2023). [17]
A cruise missile is an unmanned self-propelled guided missile that sustains flight through aerodynamic lift for most of its flight path. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large payload over long distances with high precision.
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).
