Agni-III missile likely to be test-fired today - The New Indian Express

A day after the successful trial of 4000-km range Agni-IV missile, the country is gearing up to witness the first and much-awaited ‘user associate trial’ of 3000-km range Agni-III missile after its first phase production.

The DRDO and the Strategic Forces Command (SFC), a specially raised missile-handling unit of the Indian Army are likely to carry out the test from the Wheeler Island test range off the Odisha coast on Friday.

While preparations for the crucial test has been completed, defence sources said, the test would be carried out under a favourable weather condition. Programme Director of Agni missiles Avinash Chander told ‘The New Indian Express’ that the missile was ready for the user trial.

“We have already carried out three consecutive successful trials of Agni-III in 2007, 2008 and 2010 thus making it full proof and a proven missile. In all three occasions the technologies incorporated in the missile system and software have performed as expected,” he said.

Director General of DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister V K Saraswat who had left for Bengaluru after the Agni-IV test to attend a function organised to commemorate the formal receipt of the Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) aircraft, also has arrived here on Thursday.

Agni-IV’s successful launch and Agni-III’s user trial came at a time when a report by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists of the US claimed that India was legging behind those of its putative adversaries Pakistan and China. The defence authorities have however rubbished the report saying the country, which adopts a clear-cut ‘no-first-use’ doctrine, has an active credible nuclear deterrence and well capable of its own defence.

The Agni-III, capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads weighing up to 1.5 tonnes, is 17 metres tall with a two-metre diameter and weighs about 48 tonnes. The missile was reportedly inducted in the armed forces in June 2011.

The maiden test of Agni III on July 9, 2006 had failed though later it has been test fired successfully thrice. It is expected to be the mainstay of India's nuclear deterrence programme when fully operational by providing the country with strategic second-strike capability.

Agni-III is capable of carrying a variety of warheads, including nuclear warheads and can be launched from various platforms giving the country intermediate range ballistic missile firepower and greatly extending its power projection in the region.

India Test Fires Nuke Capabale Agni-III Missile | news.outlookindia.com

Two days after the successful trial of the long-range Agni-IV missile, India today testfired its nuclear-capable Agni-III ballistic missile with a strike range of 3000 km from an island off the Odisha coast.

The indigenously developed surface-to-surface missile, which can carry a warhead of 1.5 tonne protected by a carbon all composite heat shield, took off at 1315 hours from a mobile launcher at launch complex-4 of Integrated Test Range at Wheeler Island, defence sources said.

The trajectory of the trial was monitored for data analysis through telemetry stations, electro-optic systems and sophisticated radars located along the coast, and by naval ships anchored near the impact point, they said.

"It was the fifth test in the Agni-III series carried out to establish the 'repeatability' of the state-of-the-art missile's performance,"a DRDO scientist said.

The launch operation was carried out by strategic forces command of the Indian army with logistic support from Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Agni-III missile is powered by a two-stage solid propellant system. With a length of 17 metres, the missile's diameter is 2 metres and launch weight is around 50 tonnes.

The missile is equipped with hybrid navigation, guidance and control systems along with advanced on-board computers. The electronic systems are hardened for higher vibration, thermal and acoustic effects, a DRDO official said.

Though the first development trial of Agni-III carried out on July 9, 2006 could not achieve the desired result, subsequent tests conducted on April 12, 2007, May 7, 2008 and February 7, 2010, from the same base were all successful.

Today's test came after a successful trial of highly advanced Agni-IV ballistic missile with a strike range of about 4000 km from the same range.
