Working at a fast pace towards production and induction of Agni-V missile into the forces, Defence Research and Development Organisation is reportedly planning its second test fire next month. The maiden test fire of Agni-V, the first intercontinental ballistic missile of India, was carried out in April 2012. The successful trial catapulted the country into the exclusive ICBM club comprising six elite countries, United States of America, Russia, China, France and United Kingdom.

Dr V G Sekaran, chief controller R&D (Missiles & Strategic Systems) and programme director, Agni, said that while no date has been fixed for the test as of now, it will be conducted in September. “This test shall be aimed at repeatability of the previous test for stabilizing the performance of sub-systems,” he said, adding that DRDO is working at starting the production and delivery phase by 2015 for Agni-5. Dr Sekaran further revealed that the forthcoming test fire is a part of development trials (usually 2-3, if successful) and the user trials will start after this.

Meanwhile, DRDO is leaving no stone unturned for kick starting the canisterization process for Agni V by this year end. Simultaneous qualification tests will be conducted for the same as well. Canister launch of the missile will enable higher flexibility in launching speedy firing from any location on a road.

The indigenously developed 50-tonne long range surface-to-surface ballistic missile Agni-V, which is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead weighing more than a tonne, has a 5,000 km range as per DRDO officials, who confirmed that preparations are at full swing at Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast for a September launch. Once inducted, India’s range with respect to missile reach would include the entire Asia as well as parts of other continents. Agni V will be inducted into the force equipped with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-Entry Vehicles (MIRVs) for shooting multiple warheads at the same time.

Does that mean no canisterisation for the launch next month ???? :undecided:

Yara, I didn't get the logic here....... long term storage within the canisters + ambiguity of location??? Why not make permanent silos on the same premises as the Yanks, I know that it isn't as secure an option, however, both of our weapons are nothing what the Yanks or the Ruskies had, on the accuracy front..... so why not????

K series are sub launched missiles, AGNI 5 is supposed to be road mobile and canister based.

Please test fire on Chinese!!Then claim misssile lost its path ..lol Good luck DRDO

USA has the advantage of location, they are located far from their threat USSR, But India has China which is located very close and a missile silo placed in North east is in danger of pre-emptive strikes.

Road mobile missiles are secure and can be protected from enemy strikes.

Even Russia uses road mobile ICBM's today.

I know, but it's a very very expensive game......
