India Working on New Generation Missiles

July 7, 2007 :: News

India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has started work on new types of missiles, following successful tests of the Agni and Prithvi models.  The new missiles include a superior version of the Agni III, a hypersonic BrahMos and a naval missile known as Sagarika.  The superior Agni III, tentatively scheduled for testing in 2010, would boast a range of 5000 to 5500 kilometers, effectively pushing India into the club of nations with intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).  The hypersonic BrahMos missile would move approximately ten times faster than the present version and is awaiting final consent from India and Russia, which produce the missile jointly.  The Sagarika would be a submarine launched, nuclear-armed, missile with a range of 1000 kilometers. (Article)
