India is a growing and developing economy and
doing wonders in every field. The present government in India is supporting all
the measures and the scheme of Made in India is a wonderful concept of the
Prime minister that will always help raising the bars of Indian economy at one
end and would save the financial load of the country. Under this scheme defense
is also benefited and the problem of brain drain is also controlled. The
recent launch of the Agni series is one such example.
India has successfully test-fired its nuclear
capable strategic ballistic missile Agni-IV which is a surface to surface
missile with a strike range of 4000 km as part of a user trial from launch
complex-4 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Dr. Abdul Kalam Island,
formerly known as Wheeler Island off Odisha coast at 11.55 am on 2nd January
2017.Click here to read: How to DECODE SSB in the simplest way

This trial test was described as successful by
DRDO because it met all mission objectives. Agni-IV is developed indigenously by DRDO and this one is
the 6th trial in the series of tests. Agni-IV is the fourth in Agni series of
missiles which is developed by DRDO. The Missile is lighter in weight and has two
stages of Solid Propulsion and a Payload with Re-entry heat shield which
can withstand temperatures in the range of 4000 degree centigrade and insures
the avionics function normally inside with temperature less than 50 degree
centigrade. The Composite Rocket Motor
which has been used for the first time in Agni-IV, has given excellent
performance.

The Missile System is equipped with modern and
compact Avionics with Redundancy to provide high level of reliability. The
indigenous Ring Laser Gyros based
high accuracy INS (RINS) and Micro
Navigation System (MINGS)
complementing each other in redundant mode have been successfully flown in
guidance mode. The high performance, 5th generation onboard computer with
distributed Avionics architecture, high speed reliable communication bus and a
full Digital Control System have controlled and guided the Missile to the
target. The Missile reached the target with very high level of accuracy. Radars
and electro-optical systems along the Coast of Odisha have tracked and
monitored all the parameters of the Missile. Two Indian Naval ships located
near the target witnessed the final event.
Agni IV can take a warhead of 1 tonne. It is
designed to increase the kill efficiency along with a higher range performance.
Agni IV is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that includes
indigenously developed ring laser gyro and composite rocket motor. It is a
two-stage missile powered by solid propellant. Its length is 20 meters and
launch weight is 17 tonnes having 4000 km of strike range. It can be fired from
a road mobile launcher. Radar and
other signatures of Agni-IV have been significantly reduced to make them much
more immune to counter-measures. Long range missile Agni 5 was also
successfully carried out from this launch site in December 2016.
