The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program<\/strong> (IGMDP) was an Indian Ministry of Defence program between the early 1980s and 2007 for the development of a comprehensive range of missiles, including the intermediate range Agni missile (Surface to Surface), and short range missiles such as the Prithvi ballistic missile (Surface to Surface), Akash missile (Surface to Air), Trishul missile (Surface to Air) and Nag Missile (Anti Tank). The program was managed by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in partnership with other Indian government labs and research centres. One of the most prominent chief engineers on the project, Dr. Abdul Kalam went on to become the President of India.<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nPrithvi-II SRBM 250 km 500 kg Operational
\nPrithvi-III SRBM 350 km 500 kg Operational<\/p>\n

Sagarika<\/strong><\/p>\n

The K-15 Sagarika\u00a0 missile is a submarine-launched variant of the Prithvi missile with a range of 700 km.[25][26] Sagarika is a two-stage surface-to-surface missile for launch from submarines. The first stage is an underwater booster that powers the missile to 5 km above the surface of the ocean. A second solid-fueled stage with a 16 metric ton force (157 kN) thrust motor then propels the missile over 700 km.
\n
\nDhanush <\/strong>
\nDhanush is a ship-launched variant of the Prithvi missile. The first test for the missile was conducted from a modified offshore patrol vessel INS Subhadra (P51) on 11 April 2000, which was unsuccessful.
\n
\nAkash<\/strong>
\nAkash\u00a0 is a medium range surface-to-air missile developed as part of India’s Integrated Guided Missile Development Program
\nto achieve self-sufficiency in the area of surface-to-air missiles.<\/p>\n

Nag Missile<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nag 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.<\/p>\n

Shaurya Missile System<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Shaurya missile is a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed by DRDO for use by the Indian Army. Capable of hypersonic speeds, it has a range of 600 km and is capable of carrying a payload of one-tonne conventional or nuclear warhead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
