interceptor missile off the Odisha coast, achieving a significant milestone in the direction of developing a two-layered Ballistic Missile Defence system.
The interceptor was launched from Abdul Kalam Island (Wheeler Island) of ITR at about 7.45 AM.
This mission, termed as "PDV mission is for engaging the targets in the exo-atmosphere region at an altitude above 50 km of earth's atmosphere", said a Defence Research Development Organisation(DRDO) official.

"Both, the PDV interceptor and the two stage target missile, were successfully engaged," he said.
The target was developed for mimicking a hostile Ballistic Missile approaching from more than 2000 km away was launched from a ship anchored in the Bay of Bengal.
In an automated operation, radar based detection and tracking system detected and tracked the enemy's ballistic missile.
The computer network with the help of data received from radars predicted the trajectory of the incoming Ballistic Missile.
PDV that was kept fully ready, took-off once the computer system gave the necessary command for lift-off. The Interceptor guided by high accuracy Inertial Navigation System (INS) supported by a Redundant Micro Navigation System moved towards the estimated point of the interception.
Once the missile crossed the atmosphere, the Heat Shield ejected and the IR Seeker dome opened to look at the Target location as designated by the Mission Computer.
With the help of Inertial Guidance and IR Seeker the missile moved for interception. All events were monitored in real-time by the Telemetry/Range Stations, at various other locations.

Star Online Report
India today successfully test-fired its interceptor missile off the coast of Bay of Bengal, marking major milestone towards developing a Ballistic Missile Defence system.
The interceptor was launched from A P J Abdul Kalam Island (earlier known as Wheeler Island) at about 7:45am, reports our New Delhi correspondent.
This test flight is for engaging the targets in the region at an altitude above 50 km of earth's atmosphere", our New Delhi correspondent reports quoting a Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) official.
"Both, the interceptor and the two-stage target missile were successfully engaged," he said.
The target was a simulated hostile Ballistic Missile approaching from more than 2000km away was launched from a ship anchored in the Bay of Bengal.
In an automated operation, the radar-based detection and tracking system detected and tracked the enemy's ballistic missile.
The computer network with the help of data received from radars predicted the trajectory of the incoming Ballistic Missile.

The Interceptor, guided by high accuracy Inertial Navigation System (INS) and supported by a Redundant Micro Navigation System, moved towards the estimated point of the interception.

I have little trust in DRDO, we need external auditor....

Fantastic. The Desi THAAD is soon going to be a reality.

Can you plz elaborate on this. I understand that though the looks are similar, they have made some changes in fuel stages .
So far i was relying on this info ( VIF paper ) :
A new missile named the PDV was also reported in 2009. The PDV is intended to replace the existing PAD in the PAD/AAD combination. The induction of the PDV willcomplete the Phase 1 of the BMD system, allowing it to be operational by 2013. India is alsodeveloping two new anti ballistic missiles (AD-1 and AD-2) that can intercept IRBM/ICBMs asPhase 2 of its BMD system. Phase 2 is intended to give India capabilities in the class of theUS Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD).
And the Interception :

PAD was a techdemo only, I guess. to develop PDV. Its totally new missile.

two-tier ballistic missile defence (BMD) system by testing a high-altitude interceptor missile to destroy an incoming ballistic missile over the Bay of Bengal on Saturday morning.
"Today our scientists have made a missile that can destroy an enemy missile high in the sky. Only four to five countries in the world have done this," said PM Narendra Modi at an election rally in Badaun.
He even took a dig at his political opponents, holding that they would have to travel "very high" if they wanted proof of the successful test.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was itself gung-ho about its long-delayed BMD system, claiming it would now be possible to deploy the two-layered missile shield to protect a city or strategic installation in two years.
But it had earlier also promised that New Delhi would get the missile shield, capable of tackling missiles with a 2,000km strike range, by 2014 at the latest. Scientists, however, say they are confident of achieving the target this time.
The "exo-atmospheric" (outside the earth's atmosphere) interceptor missile tested on Saturday, also called the PDV (Prithvi defence vehicle), after all, directly hit the target missile at an altitude of 97km. The test began at 7.45am with the two-stage target missile, mimicking an enemy ballistic missile, being launched from a ship in the Bay of Bengal.
In the fully-automated operation, with long-range radars continuously tracking the target and feeding data about its trajectory to the mission computers, the interceptor missile was then fired from the Abdul Kalam Island (Wheeler Island), off Odisha coast, around 200km away.
"It was a direct hit. Many advanced technologies developed indigenously paved the way for the successful interception. It's a remarkable achievement for the country," said the defence minister's scientific adviser Dr G Satheesh Reddy.
The defence ministry added: "India has crossed an important milestone in building its overall capability towards enhanced security against incoming ballistic missile threats. It has entered an exclusive club of four nations (US, Russia, China and Israel) by developing capabilities to secure its skies and cities against hostile threats." BMD systems, of course, are highly complex to develop and deploy.
DRDO's experimental two-tier system is designed to track and destroy ballistic missiles both inside (endo) and outside (exo) the earth's atmosphere.
A third layer, in turn, is planned to tackle lowflying cruise missiles, artillery projectiles and rockets in line with the overall aim to achieve "near 100% kill or interception probability''.
