What is the new thing that was tested here.... or they were teaching Army how to fire .
They were teaching them which button to press, like "woh lal-wala button dabao". Khakis need to be shown that kinda thing. Happy?
Anyway, just another user-trial test done successfully.

The Hindu : News / National : Agni-III test-fired successfully
Agni-III test-fired successfully
Y. Mallikarjun
Within three days, India successfully test-fired a second surface-to-surface nuclear weapons capable ballistic missile on Friday Agni-III was fired for its full range of 3,000 km from the Wheeler Island, off the Odisha coast.
On Wednesday, the 4,000-km range Agni-IV was successfully launched by the missile technologists of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
In Fridays mission, personnel of the Strategic Forces Command fired Agni-III from a rail mobile launcher at 1.20 a.m. after it was randomly picked up from the production lot. The 17-metre tall missile zeroed in on to the pre-designated target in the Indian Ocean with a two-digit accuracy after a 15-minute ballistic flight. It met all the mission objectives and there was no deviation from the parameters, official sources said. The trial was conducted as part of regular user-training.
The two-stage solid propelled missile reached an altitude of 500 km and withstood scorching temperatures as it re-entered the atmosphere and impacted near the target point. Radars located along the east coast, telemetry stations and electro-optical network tracked and monitored the missiles performance in real time, while two down range ships recorded the terminal event as the missile impacted the target.
Agni-III, which has already been inducted into the Services, is capable of carrying a payload weighing 1.5 tonnes. It is equipped with an advanced guidance and navigation system to ensure accuracy.
This was the fourth success of Agni-III in a row and the seventh belonging to the Agni series.
In the past five months, all the variants of Agni, from Agni-V to Agni-I, have been successfully test-fired.
V.K. Saraswat, Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister; the Chief Controller (Missiles and Strategic Systems), DRDO, Avinash Chander; Director, Research Centre Imarat, S.K. Chaudhuri; and Director, Integrated Test Range (ITR), M.V. K.V. Prasad, were present.

Agni-III successfully test-fired
Agni-III successfully test-fired
21 September 2012
Press Trust of India
BALASORE (Odisha), 21 SEPT: Days after a perfect trial of the highly advanced Agni-IV weapon system, India today successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable Agni-III missile with a strike range of over 3,000 km from the Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast.
The indigenously developed surface-to-air missile, capable of carrying a warhead of 1.5 ton protected by a carbon all-composite heat shield, blasted off at 1.15 p.m. from a mobile launcher at launch complex-4 of Integrated Test Range (ITR), defence sources said. The trial was successful and met all the mission objectives, a defence 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).
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, the sources 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.
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 has a launch weight of around 50 ton.
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 9 July 2006 could not achieve the desired result, subsequent tests conducted on 12 April 2007, 7 May 2008 and 7 February 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 4,000 km from the same base.

Agni-III passes first user trial - The Times of India
Agni-III passes first user trial
TNN | Sep 22, 2012, 12.10PM IST
BALASORE: The army on Friday successfully test-fired Agni-III from Wheeler's Island. This is the fifth test of the surface-to-surface nuclear capable missile and is significant because this is the first time the army's Strategic Forces Command (SFC) carried out the test after Agni-III was inducted into the armed forces in June 2011.
Defence sources said the ballistic missile having a strike range of nearly 3,000 km took off around 1.20 pm from a rail-mobile launcher. "All mission objectives of Agni-III have been achieved," stated Ravi Kumar Gupta, director of the Directorate of Public Interface at DRDO headquarters, in a press release.
The test was carried out to validate the missile's higher performance in terms of weight and payload capacity. Apart from the software for navigation and guidance controls to achieve better accuracy, re-entry material was also tested. The success comes two days after the successful launch of 4000-km range Agni-IV missile.
The missile was tracked by various telemetry stations, electro-optic systems and radars located along the coast, Port Blair and by the downrange ships positioned near the target location. "The data from different stations was transmitted in real time through an advanced communication network of DRDO for online performance evaluation and range safety," an 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. Defence sources said Agni-III, which has a velocity of 5 km/s, is a new system. It is a short and stubby, two-stage missile that weighs 48.3 tonnes and is 16.7 metres tall with an overall diameter of 1.8 metres.
It can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads weighing around 1.5 tonnes. It is propelled by solid fuels, facilitating swifter deployment compared to missiles using a mix of solid and liquid fuels. The successful launch was witnessed by scientific advisor to defence minister V K Saraswat and programme director of Agni missiles Avinash Chander.
