India tests Agni Missile

[IND151]

Agni 4

DRDO developed, 4000 kms range Nuclear Capable Ballistic Missile AGNI-IV, was successfully flight tested from Wheeler’s Island around 1135hrs on 19 Sep 2012. This long range missile propelled by composite rocket motor technology, was tested for its full capability. The AGNI-IV missile launched from the road mobile launcher, reached the pre-defined target in about 20 minutes. The missile is equipped with state of the art Avionics, 5th generation On Board Computer and with distributed architecture has the latest features to correct and guide for inflight disturbances. The most accurate Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System (RINS) and supported by highly reliable redundant Micro Navigation System (MINGS), ensured the vehicle reach the target within two digit accuracy. The re-entry heat shield withstood temperatures of more than 3000 degree centigrade and made sure the avionics function normally with inside temperature less than 50 degree centigrade.

All Electro-Optical Tracking systems (EOTS), Radars located all along the coast have tracked and monitored all the parameters throughout the flight. Two ships located near the target point tracked the vehicle and witnessed the final event.

Dr. Vijay Kumar Saraswat, SA to RM, Secretary Dept of Defence R&D and DG DRDO, Shri Avinash Chander, Programme Director AGNI, DS & CC R&D (MSS) reviewed the total launch activities and guided the team. Smt Tessy Thomas, Project Director AGNI-IV led the team of scientists during the operation.
Dr S.K. Chaudhuri, Director RCI, Shri A.K. Chakrabarti, Director DRDL, Dr V.G. Sekaran, Director ASL, Shri MVKV Prasad, Director ITR witnessed the launch.

Defence Minister Shri AK Antony congratulated all scientists of DRDO for the successful flight test of AGNI-IV.

Broadsword: Agni IV successfully launched. Here is the official DRDO press release...

Congrats to DRDO and all hard working scientists!!


Damn!!...... 4000 km in 20 Minutes....!!

Damn!!...... 4000 km in 20 Minutes....!!

If Agni 5 travelled with it's terminal velocity throughout, it could reach 5000 km away in 9 min 35 seconds

BALASORE (ODISHA): India on Wednesday test-fired its nuclear-capable strategic missile Agni-IV with a strike range of about 4000 km from a test range off Odisha coast.

It was test launched with the help of a mobile launcher from launch complex-4 of ITR at Wheeler Island, about 100 km from here, at about 1145 hours, defence sources said.

A high performance on-board computer with distributed avionics architecture and high speed reliable communication bus and a full Digital Control System were used to control and guide the missile to the target.

"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 (RINS) 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 country's premier Defence Research and Development Organisation.

The last trial of the missile, carried out on November 15, 2011 from the same base was successful.

Are you good or bad

such a joker.....

all of India's missiles and nukes are made of pak tech...which was acquire from AQ Khan!!!

The report claims Agni IV launch was successful. The what happened? The flight in the pre-determined trajectory? The landing on target?

Type proper English and read all the news items posted in this thread ........ mentioning of 800 km altitude, 20 min. of flight duration, all the radars tracking the missile path, two ships anchored near the impact point transmitting the event data in real time ..........

or is it too much for you to digest the success of this test?

Buzz off !!!

Congrats DRDO for this achievement. Agni-4 has faster acceleration compared to Agni-3/5.

Yes it has landed on the target 'safely' but bud luck, the target was not 'safe'. Why you try this? Its not your area.
