Agni-V to be test fired today - The Times of India
NEW DELHI: Taking a major leap forward in missile technology and military deterrent capability, India is all set to test fire its 5,000 km range Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Agni-V today from a test range off the coast of Odisha.

The test fire of the missile will be conducted from a test range in Wheeler island off the coast of Odisha.

DRDO Chief V K Saraswat had recently said the missile is being integrated at various facilities for the test launch which will be witnessed by military officials and other agencies which participated in its development.

Only the US, Russia, France and China possess the capability to operate an ICBM.

DRDO plans to conduct more such tests of the missile over the next one year after studying and analyzing the parameters achieved in each subsequent trial.

On the timeline fixed for fully developing Agni-V, Saraswat had said another one year of testing will be involved.

In November last year, DRDO had successfully test fired the 3,500 km range Agni-4 missile giving muscle to India's deterrent capability against the military adversaries.

DRDO has also placed necessary equipments to collect data on the trajectory and flight of the missile and other necessary data which will be studied further for its future development.

Agni-V will be a three-stage, all solid fuel powered, 17-metre tall missile with capability to carry various forms of payload, officials said.

It's Notam:




It has a very expansive Notam. The accuracy....? We never had so exaggerated top stage splashdown area--1000Km long! (the top stage of the 580 project had only 130Km radius splashdown area)
