LIST OF MISSILE SYSTEMS OF INDIA
List
Of Missile Systems Of India
Agni
The Agni missile system comprises five missiles:
§ Agni I,II,III,IV,V
Agni-I is a family of Short to Intermediate range ballistic missiles
developed by India under theIntegrated Guided
Missile Development Program. On 28 Mar 2010, a trial was conducted with a special Strategic Forces Command (SFC) nuclear-capable Agni-I
ballistic missile, with a range of 700 km from the Wheelers Island off the
coast of Orissa, thus making Agni-I missile operational by army. It uses the SLV-3
booster for its first stage and a liquid-fueled Prithvi for its second stage.
Agni-II missiles
have a range of up to 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) and can carry a payload
of 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb). Unlike
the Agni-I, the Agni-II has a solid-fueled second stage.
Agni -III is an intermediate-range ballistic
missile developed by India as the successor to Agni-II. It has a range of
3,500 km- 5,000 km,and is capable of engaging targets deep inside
neighboring countries. The missile’s Circular error probable (CEP) is within 40 meters
range, which makes it the most sophisticated and accurate ballistic missile of
its range class in the world. In June 2011, it was reported that Agni-III has been inducted into
the armed forces and is under-production.
Agni-IV is the
fourth in the Agni series of missiles which
was earlier known as Agni
II prime.
Agni-IV was tested on November 15, 2011 from Wheeler Island off the coast of
the eastern state of Orissa. With a range of 2,500-3,500 km..Agni-IV
bridges the gap between Agni II and Agni III. Agni IV can take a warhead of 1
ton. 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
include indigenously developed ring laser gyro and composite rocket motor. Its
a two-stage missile powered by solid propellant. Its length is 20 meters and
launches weight 17 tons. It can be fired from a road mobile launcher.
Agni-V is an intercontinental ballistic missile developed by the Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO) of India.On 19 April 2012 at 08.05 am, the Agni V was
successfully test-fired by DRDO from Wheeler Island off the coast of Orissa. It is part of the Agni series of missiles, one of the missile systems under the original Integrated Guided Missile
Development Programme. According to DRDO chief, the exact range of Agni V is
"classified"] but afterwards he described
Agni V as a missile with a range of 5,500-5,800 km.
| Missile | Project | Type | Payload (kg) | Range (km) | Dimension (m) | Fuel/Stages | Weight (kg) | In service | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agni-I | IGMDP | Strategic | 1,000 | 700-800 | 15X1 | Single stage solid | 12,000 | 2002 | ||
| Agni-II | IGMDP | Strategic | 750-1,000 | 2,000-3,000 | 20X1 | Two and half stage solid | 16,000 | 1999 | ||
| Agni-III | IGMDP | Strategic | 2,000-2,500 | 3,500-5,000 | 17X2 | Two stage solid | 44,000 | 2011 | ||
| Agni-IV | Agni-IV | Strategic | 800-1,000 | 3,000-3,500 | 20X1 | Two stage solid | 17,000 | Tested | ||
| Agni-V | Agni-V | Strategic | 1500 (3-10 MIRV) | 5,500-5,800 | 17X2 | Three Stage solid | 50000 | Tested |
Prithvi
The Prithvi (Sanskrit:
"Earth") I is mobile liquid-fueled 150 kilometer tactical missile
currently deployed with army units. It is claimed that this missile is equipped
only with various conventional warheads (which stay attached to the missile
over the entire flight path). The missile is of particular interest to the
United States (and potential buyers) in that has the capability of maneuvering
in flight so as to follow one of several different pre-programmed trajectories.
Based on the same design, a modified Prithvi, the Prithvi II, is essentially a
longer-ranged version of the Prithvi I except that it has a 250-kilometer range
and a lighter payload. It is suspected that any nuclear missions will be
executed by the Prithvi II. Currently, the Prithvi II has completed development
and is now in production. When fielded, it will be deployed with air force
units for the purpose of deep target attacking maneuvers against objectives
such as air fields.
§ Prithvi I — Army Version (150 km range with a payload of
1,000 kg)
§ Prithvi II — Air Force Version (250 km range with a
payload of 500 kg)
§ Prithvi III — Naval Version (350 km range with a payload
of 500 kg)
The Prithvi missile project
encompassed developing 3 variants for use by the Indian Army, Indian Air Force
and the Indian Navy. The initial project framework of the Integrated Guided
Missile Development Program outlines the variants in the following manner. in
October 2009 India conducted 2 simultenous user trials of 350 km extended
range Prithvi II to be used for strategic purposes.
| Missile | Type | Payload (kg) | Range (km) | Dimension (m) | Fuel/Stages | Weight (kg) | In service | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prithvi-I | Tactical | 1,000 | 150 | 8.55X1.1 | Single stage liquid | 4,400 | 1988 | ||
| Prithvi-II | Tactical | 350-750 | 350 | 8.55X1.1 | Single stage liquid | 4,600 | 1996 | ||
| Prithvi-III | Tactical | 500-1,000 | 350-600 | 8.55X1 | Single stage solid | 5,600 | 2004 |
Brahmos
BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from
submarines, ships, aircraft or land. It is a joint venture between India's
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO
Mashinostroeyenia who have together formed the BrahMos Aerospace Private
Limited. It travels at speeds of
Mach 2.5 to 2.8 and is the world's fastest cruise missile. It is about
three-and-a-half times faster than the U.S.A's subsonic Harpoon cruise missile.
A hypersonic version of the missile is also presently under development (Lab
Tested with 5.26 Mach Speed). BrahMos claims to have the capability of
attacking surface targets as low as 10 meters in altitude. It can gain a speed
of Mach 2.8, and has a maximum range of 290 km.The ship-launched and
land-based missiles can carry a 200 kg warhead, whereas the
aircraft-launched variant (BrahMos A) can carry a 300 kg warhead. It has a
two-stage propulsion system, with a solid-propellant rocket for initial
acceleration and a liquid-fueled ramjet responsible for sustained supersonic
cruise. Air-breathing ramjet propulsion is much more fuel-efficient than rocket
propulsion, giving the BrahMos a longer range than a pure rocket-powered
missile would achieve.
The high speed of the BrahMos
likely gives it better target-penetration characteristics than lighter subsonic
cruise-missiles such as the Tomahawk. Being twice as heavy and almost four
times faster than the Tomahawk, the BrahMos has almost 32 times the initial
kinetic energy of a Tomahawk missile (although it pays for this by having only
3/5 the payload and a fraction of the range despite weighing twice as much,
suggesting a different tactical paradigm to achieve the objective).
Although BrahMos is primarily
an anti-ship missile, it can also engage land based targets. It can be launched
either in a vertical or inclined position and is capable of covering targets
over a 360 degree horizon. The BrahMos missile has an identical configuration
for land, sea, and sub-sea platforms. The air-launched version has a smaller
booster and additional tail fins for added stability during launch. The BrahMos
is currently being configured for aerial deployment with the Su-30MKI as its
carrier. India has produced more than 110 Brahmos by March 2011 as per SIPRI,
inducted 1 regiment of Brahmos Type-I GLCM with 67 missiles.
Shaurya
The Shaurya
missile (Sanskrit: Valour) is a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed by DRDO of India for use by the Indian Army. It has a range of
600 km and is capable of carrying a payload of one-tonne conventional or
nuclear warhead. The Shaurya missile provides India with a significant second strike capability.Shaurya Missile is considered a land version of
the Sagarika. This missile is stored in a composite canister just like the Brahmos supersonic cruise missile. The composite canister makes the
missile much easier to store for long periods without maintenance as well as to
handle and transport. It also houses the gas generator to eject the missile
from the canister before its solid propellant motors take over to hurl it at
the intended target. Shaurya missiles can remain hidden or camouflaged in
underground silos from enemy surveillance or satellites till they are fired
from the special storage-cum-launch canisters. DRDO Defence scientists admit
that given Shaurya's limited range at present, either the silos will have to be
constructed closer to India's borders or longer-range missiles will have to be
developed. The Shaurya system will require some more tests before it becomes
fully operational in two-three years. Moreover, defense scientists say the
high-speed, two-stage Shaurya has high
maneuverability which also makes it less
vulnerable to existing
anti-missile defense systems. When
Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems Advanced Air Defence (AAD) and Prithvi Air
Defence (PAD) are to be tested again, the Shaurya invulnerability
to anti-missile systems will be tested. The DRDO scientists also have said that
if Shaurya is successful and manages to avoid anti ballistic missile radars
then the missile can even be used to improve the AAD and PAD systems.
Sagarika
Sagarika (Sanskrit: Wave / Born
from the Ocean) is a nuclear capable submarine-launched ballistic
missile with a range of 750 km. This missile has a length of
8.5 meters, weighs seven tonnes and can carry a pay load of up to 500 kg. The development of this missile
started in 1991. The first confirmation about the missile came in 1998.The
development of the underwater missile launcher known as the Project 78 (P78)
was completed in 2001. This was handed over to the Indian Navy for trials. The missile was successfully test fired thrice.
The Indian Navy plans to introduce the missile into service by the end of 2010.
Sagarika missile is being integrated with the Arihant class submarine that is
expected to begin sea trials by 2009.Sagarika will form part of the triad in
India's nuclear deterrence and will provide with retaliatory nuclear strike
capability.
Sagarika has already been
test-fired from an underwater pontoon, but now DRDO is planning a full-fledged test of the missile from a
submarine and for this purpose may use the services of a Russian sub-marine.
Eventually it could be introduced into as many as 5 ballistic missile
submarines.
Nirbhay
Nirbhay (Sanskrit "Fearless") is a long range, subsonic cruise missile being
developed in India. The missile will have a range of 1,000 km and will arm
three services, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force.The Nirbhay will
be able to be launched from multiple platforms on land, sea and air. The first
test flight of the missile is expected in the year 2012. Nirbhay will be a
terrain hugging, stealth missile capable of delivering 24 different
types of warheads depending on mission requirements and will use inertial
navigation system for guidance.There are plans to arm the IL-76MDs
with the aerial version of the missile.
3M-54 Klub
India has acquired around 200 3M-54 Klub for arming Talwar class frigate, Shivalik
class frigate, Kolkata
class destroyer and Sindhughosh
class submarine.The Russian 3M-54 Klub is a
multi-role missile system developed by the Novator Design Bureau (OKB-8) with a range of
250 km-300 km and an average speed of .8 Mach with a maximum of 2.9
Mach.India has both the Klub-N and Klub-S variant to be used for Ships and
Submarines respectively.Both the Klub-N and Klub-S have been tested
successfully. India currently has the 3M-54E, 3M-54E1, 91RE1 and 91RE2
variants. In addition the Navy has plans to arm the Tu-142 and Tu-22M with an
air-launched version. Due to Klub's longer range than BrahMos it may also be
used in the Mirage 2000 and Su-30 MKI too. The Navy has shown interest in
buying more Klubs which would be incorporated on to the S-1000 submarine if bought by India. India is also keen on other
Former Soviet cruise missile such as the P-700 Granit and P-500
Bazalt.
P-70 Ametist
India has Soviet P-70
Ametist submarine-launched cruise
missiles. The missile were mostly
probably bought in the early 90s and may be used today as canistered launched
land based cruise missiles instead of submarine launched cruise missiles. The
missiles can carry nuclear warheads and have a range of 50–65 km. Although
they are extremely old and incompetent due to their low range and speed, there
are still reports that they are kept in reserve and can still be used due to
their upgrades in the late 90s.
Moskit
India has a number of operational Moskits.The P-270 Moskit is a Russian supersonic ramjet powered cruise
missile capable of being launched from land and ships. India has
most probably bought both land and ship variants which have a range of
120 km. India bought around 200 Klub missiles and now it is
believed that the Moskit have been kept in reserve but can still be used.
Akash
Akash (Sanskrit: Sky) is India's medium
range surface-to-air missile defense system The missile can target
aircraft up to 30 km away, at altitudes up to 18,000 m. Akash can be fired
from both tracked and wheeled platforms. Akash
is said to be capable of both conventional and nuclear warheads, with a
reported payload of 60 kg.A nuclear warhead could potentially give the
missile the capability to destroy both aircraft and warheads from ballistic
missiles. The missile is described as being able to strike several targets
simultaneously, which could mean either separate, independently targetable
warheads, or a sufficient blast to destroy a number of them.
Along with India, a limited
number of other countries including the US and Russia have developed
operational multi-target handling surface-to-air missile systems capable of
carrying a nuclear warhead.
NAG
Nag (Sanskrit: cobra) is India's third generation "Fire-and-forget" anti-tank missile. It is an all weather, top attack missile with a range of 3 to 7 km.
The missile uses an 8 kg
tandem HEAT warhead capable of
defeating modern armour including ERA (Explosive
Reactive Armour) and composite
armour. Nag uses Imaging Infra-Red (IIR)
guidance with day and night capability. Mode of launch for the IIR seeker is
LOBL (Lock On Before Launch). Nag can be mounted on an infantry vehicle; a
helicopter launched version will also be available with integration work being
carried out with the HAL Dhruv.
Separate versions for the Army
and the Air Force are being developed. For the Army, the missiles will be
carried by specialist carrier vehicles (NAMICA-Nag Missile Carrier) equipped
with a thermal imager for target acquisition. NAMICA is a modified BMP-2 IFV licence
produced as "Sarath" in India.
Surya
The report of Surya ICBM (Sanskrit: Sun) has not been confirmed by officials of the
Indian government and have repeatedly denied the existence of the project.The Surya ICBM is an ICBM program that
has been mentioned repeatedly in the Indian press .Surya (meaning Sun in
Sanskrit and many other Indian languages) is the codename for the first
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that India is reported to be developing. The
DRDO is believed to have begun the project in 1994.
