According to them , it can either be the Air Launched Article (ALA) or the Anti-Radiation missile .

I'll place my bet on the Anti-Radiation missile .

The design looks somewhat similar to the HARM .

Large head means and focused for long range flight.. either an ARM or a local ASW weapon.

Agni-III missile test-fired successfully

December 23, 2013

India on Monday successfully test-fired nuclear weapons capable Agni-III surface-to-surface ballistic missile for its full range of little over 3,000 km from the Wheeler island, off the Odisha coast.

As part of user training, the two-stage, solid propelled missile was fired from a rail mobile launcher by the personnel of Strategic Forces Command at 4.58 p.m. after the weapon system was picked up randomly from the production lot.

This was the sixth trial of Agni-III and the fifth consecutive success with the users conducting two of them.

According to V.G.Sekaran, Director-General (Missiles and Strategic Systems), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the mission was a "great success" and showed that the whole system has matured. Stating that it was a text-book launch, he said the missile closed in on the pre-designated target point in the Bay of Bengal and the accuracy was in the range of 100-200 metres.

The missile reached an altitude of 380 km and withstood searing temperatures as it re-entered the atmosphere and impacted the target point after flying for about 800 seconds.

The entire performance of the missile was tracked in real time by radars, telemetry stations and electro-optical network along the coast and the terminal event was recorded by two down range ships near the target point.

Equipped with an indigenously-built advanced navigation system to ensure high degree of accuracy, Agni-III has already been inducted into the services and is capable of carrying a payload of 1.5 tonnes to distance of 3,000 km.

Avinash Chander, Scientific advisor to Defence Minister and Director General, DRDO, was among those who witnessed the launch.

Performance :

"The missile was randomly chosen from the production stock and the launch activities were carried out by the specially formed Strategic Force Command (SFC) and monitored by scientists of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as part of training exercise," the sources said.

"The missile trajectory was tracked by DRDO radars, electro-optical tracking systems and telemetry stations located along the coast of Odisha," they said.

"The downrange teams on board a ship deployed near the designated impact point in Bay of Bengal monitored the terminal events and splashdown," they said.

Result: Success
