Agni V production to begin in a year's time


NEW DELHI (PTI): India has emerged as a major missile power with the successful launch of Agni V ballistic missile and the production of the weapon system would start in a year's time, DRDO chief V K Saraswat said Thursday.

"This launch has given a message to the entire world that India has the capability to design, develop, build and manufacture missiles of this class, and we are today a missile power," Saraswat said after the launch of the 5,000 km range surface-to-surface Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM).

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chief said that the missile launch was a major milestone in the strategic defence preparedness of the country.

"We are going to conduct two more tests and that will be validation tests..., and then the production of this system will start. It is going to take a year maximum," he said.

Saraswat said that he expected the missile to be inducted into the armed forces in the next two years.

He said the successful launch of Agni V was just the beginning of a new series of missiles.

"We go from here to many other missiles which will have capability for MIRV (Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle), for anti-satellite system, which will also be built using this technology for launching micro, mini and nano satellite to meet the requirement of the armed forces on very, very short notice," he said.

Saraswat said that barring some electronic components, the Agni V was a completely indigenous product.

"More than 80 per cent of the missile is indigenous, except for the electronic components which we import...Everything has been designed, developed and produced in our industry and our laboratory," he said.

The DRDO chief said that his organisation was working on a very tight time schedule when it came to production and deployment of the missile.

"We have a very tight time schedule on that. I expect that after the completion of its mandatory trials, it would be inducted in the services in the next two years to come. We have a very clear roadmap for development of missile system," Saraswat said.

Giving details of Thursday's launch, he said that the missile "lifted off at 0807 hours today. It is a three-stage missile, the first stage burned out, gave the required velocity and after that it separated."

Saraswat said that similarly the missile reached it second and third phases and after that it reached the crucial re-entry phase which is the most difficult phase for any ballistic missile of this range.

"All the re-entry conditions were perfect. The missile travelled through the re-entry, got converted into a fireball and finally (hit the target).....and all the payload parameters which result in the detonation of the warhead took place," Saraswat said.

The DRDO chief said that the launch was monitored by three ships deployed in Indian Ocean, 5,000 kilometers away, and radars were also there tracking the complete trajectory.

He said that that the launch of the missile despite regimes placed by the developed world showed that India was becoming self-reliant in missile technology.

"The missile has been achieved despite the stringent missile control regimes, which developed countries have imposed on us and that shows the self-reliance in the area of this technology is now becoming a reality," he said.

we are waiting for the SLBMs to roll out now !!

we are waiting for the SLBMs to roll out now !!

I think DRDO will test it on next A4 launch

I think DRDO will test it on next A4 launch

U mean MIRV ? maybe but I was talking of strengthening our naval arm...

my mistake .....

[DrSomnath999]

well thats the miost important thing i.e to produce & induct it as fast as possible .

ALso india should also test submarine version of Agni missiles as sea based nuclear detterence are real detterence

China already figured out that india diverted dual-use space exploration rocket technology from Russia to its ballistic missile program VIDEO: INTERVIEW WITH SU XIAOHUI CCTV News - CNTV English

Now that we see india's hostile nature, it's time to smash india in a subcontinent regional war! A handful of imported Russian space rocket guidance systems are no match for China's indigenous military power.

Now we see india's true nature, it's time to smash india in a subcontinent regional war!

Where is it written guidance system?

Smash for what? missile test?

Why dont you smash ur head against the wall and give some relief to the world. Sicko..

Let it be, its not like CN woke up in 1950 & reinvented the wheel ! Every country including US & Russia import items for their defence, while some do it with major components others import only minor stuff.

Everybody knows the most critical electronic component in a space rocket is the guidance systems

Here your DRDO admitted Agni-5's most critical component is actually imported! We can conclude from india's history of dual-use civilian space partnership with Russia where these components came from.

[Ajaxpaul]

ah yes. Its imported. So what?

You gonna fart?

And where have yo read its guidance system???

OMG you are so mentally challenged.

All these are assumptions to be included in Challenger research.

[Bharthi]

That nation DRDO imports from is USA.

Don't take it seriously as he can give a final ultimate definite warning this time

What about 70% military and technology imports from Russia to China
