"The test firing was a total success. The missile travelled its full range," M V K V Prasad, the director of Integrated Test Range, said.
India today successfully test-fired its nuclear—capable strategic missile Agni—IV, with a strike range of about 4000 km, from a test range off the Odisha coast.
“The test firing was a total success. The missile travelled its full range,” M V K V Prasad, the director of Integrated Test Range, told PTI.
It was test launched from the launch complex—4 of the ITR at Wheeler Island, at about 10:52 AM, defence sources said.
A high performance on—board computer with distributed avionics architecture, a high speed reliable communication bus and a fully digital control system were used to control and guide the missile to the target, the sources said.
“It is equipped with modern and compact avionics to provide high level of reliability,” a DRDO official said.
“The state—of—the—art Ring Laser Gyros based high accuracy INS (INS) and Micro Navigation System (MINGS) complementing each other in redundant mode have been incorporated into the missile system in guidance mode,” the sources said.
The sophisticated missile is lighter in weight and has two stages of solid propulsion. The payload, with a re—entry heat shield can withstand temperature of more than 3000 degree Celsius, a defence scientist said.
The missile is undergoing developmental trials by the DRDO.This is the third development trial of Agni—IV missile by the DRDO.
Radars and electro—optical systems along the coast of Odisha have been positioned for tracking and monitoring all the parameters of the missile.
Two Indian naval ships were anchored near the target area to witness the final event.
The last trial of the missile was carried out successfully on September 19, 2012 from the same base.

But that need higher budget allocation.
DRDO is planning to employ 500 more scientist in next 1 year.
DRDO has 50 laboratories under it so its about 160 engineers per lab,Not bad,is it?What is present budget allocation?Now engineers in DRDO is about 7000-8000 range .We need to increase in to at least 20000-25000 range within few years.Even ISRO has 16000 engineers.

From where did you get the data for ISRO?
We actually need more engineers in field of metallurgy,lasers,semiconductors,silicon chips e.t.c.........

I thought we spend 6% of our defence budget on R and D......5% of defense Budget and 1% of total spending on defense R & D of world. US spends more than 10% of defense budget and China 20%. Chinese defense budget being 3 times of India, Indian R & D spending is 1/12 times that of China i.e 8.3 %.

Aerodynamics also.
Ignore China they are competing US .So they may spend like that.We dont need to race with others.But what we make with our small resources, we must do it excellent way .Our DRDO a commendable job with this small resources.
If we want to indiginized our defense products, We must increase defense budget.
For Accuracy, 2 or More system work in redundant mode to offset error.
Can you please elaborate Point No 9?
All Composite A V is in making.
