The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) was an Indian Ministry of
Defence program for the research and development of a comprehensive range of missiles. The
program was managed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and
Ordnance Factories Board[1] in partnership with other Indian government research
organisations.[2] The project started in early 1980s and ended in 2008 after these strategic missiles
were successfully developed. The last major missile developed under the program was the Agni
3 intermediate-range ballistic missile which was successfully tested on 9 July 2007.[3]

On 8 January 2008, the DRDO formally announced the successful completion of the IGMDP.[2] It
added that the strategic integrated guided missile program was completed with its design
objectives achieved since most of the missiles in the program had been developed and inducted
by the Indian armed forces.[4]
Dr. Abdul Kalam, who conceived and worked on this program, later also became the President of
India.[5]

History[edit]
Main article: Guided Missiles of India History

By the start of the 1980s, DRDL had developed competence in the fields of propulsion,
navigation and manufacture of materials. Thus, India's political and scientific leadership, which
included prime minister Indira Gandhi, Defence Minister R. Venkataraman, V.S. Arunachalam
(Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister), decided that all these technologies should be
consolidated.

This led to the birth of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. Dr. Abdul
Kalam, who had previously been the project director for the SLV-3 programme at ISRO, was
inducted as the DRDL Director in 1983 to conceive and lead it. While the scientists proposed the
development of each missile consecutively, the Defence Minister R. Venkataraman asked them
to reconsider and develop all the missiles simultaneously. Thus, four projects, to be pursued
concurrently, were born under the IGMDP:

Short range surface-to-surface missile (code-named Prithvi)

Short range low-level surface-to-air missile (code-named Trishul)
Medium range surface-to-air missile (code-named Akash) and
Third-generation anti-tank missile (code-named Nag).

The Agni missile was initially conceived in the IGMDP as a technology demonstrator project in
the form of a re-entry vehicle, and was later upgraded to a ballistic missile with different
ranges.[2] As part of this program, the Interim Test Range at Balasore in Orissa was also
developed for missile testing.[6]

Hurdles[edit]

Main article: Guided Missiles of India Diplomatic and Technological Hurdles

After India test-fired the first Prithvi missile in 1988, and the Agni missile in 1989, the Missile
Technology Control Regime (then an informal grouping established in 1987 by Canada, France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States) decided to restrict access to
any technology that would help India in its missile development program. To counter the MTCR,
the IGMDP team formed a consortium of DRDO laboratories, industries and academic
institutions to build these sub-systems, components and materials. Though this slowed down the
progress of the program, India successfully developed indigenously all the restricted components
denied to it by the MTCR.[6]

Prithvi missile system[edit]

Main article: Prithvi missile

Test flight of the Prithvi SS-150

The Prithvi missile(from Sanskrit pthv"Earth") is a family of tactical surface-to-

surfaceshort-range ballistic missiles(SRBM) and is India's first indigenously developed ballistic
missile. Development of the Prithvi began in 1983, and it was first test-fired on 25 February
1988 from Sriharikota, SHAR Centre, Pottisreeramulu Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh. It has a
range of up to 150 to 300 km. The land variant is called Prithviwhile the naval operational
variant of Prithvi I and Prithvi II class missiles are code named Dhanush(meaning Bow). Both
variants are used for surface targets. The Prithvi is said to have its propulsion technology derived
from the Soviet SA-2surface-to-air missile.[7]Variants make use of either liquid or both liquid and
solid fuels. Developed as a battlefield missile, it could carry a nuclear warhead in its role as a
tactical nuclear weapon. The initial project framework of the IGMDP envisioned the Prithvi
missile as a short-range ballistic missile with variants for the Indian Army, Indian Air Force and
the Indian Navy.[8]Over the years the Prithvimissile specifications have undergone a number of
changes. The Prithvi I class of missiles were inducted into the Indian Army in 1994, while
Prithvi II with an extended range were being inducted in 2006. Prithvi IIIclass has a longer-range
of 350 km, and was successfully test fired in 2004.[9]

The Agni missile (Sanskrit: , Agn, root of English ignite) is a family of Medium to
Intercontinental range ballistic missiles developed by DRDO of India. The initial Technology
demonstrator version had a range of 1500 km but were based on a solid and a liquid stage
making for long preparation before firing. Learning from this the production variants of Agni are
solid fuel based to allow for swift retaliation against adversaries.[16] Indian government stated in
its official press release that its nuclear and missile development programmes are not Pakistan-
centric. That the Pakistani threat is only a marginal factor in New Delhi's security calculus and
Agni is at the heart of deterrence in the larger context of Sino-Indian equation.[17] Missiles of
Agni series are developed by DRDO and manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited.

Agni-VI is under development as independent projects pursuant to the policy changes made by
the DRDO after the end of the IGMDP in 2008.

Trishul missile system[edit]

Trishul (Sanskrit:
 , meaning trident) is the name of a short range surface-to-air missile
developed by India as a part of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. It has a
range of 9 km and is fitted with a 5.5 kg warhead. Designed to be used against low-level (sea
skimming) targets at short range, the system has been developed to defend naval vessels against
missiles and also as a short range surface to air missile on land. Guidance consists of three
different guiding beams, with the guidance handed over progressively to a narrower beam as the
missile approaches the target.
According to reports, the range of the missile is 12 km and is fitted with a 15 kg warhead. The
weight of the missile is 130 kg. The length of the missile is 3.1 m.[18]

Development costs of the missile touched almost US$70 million to the taxpayers.

India officially shut the down Trishul Missile project on 27 February 2008.[19] The program, one
of the five missiles being developed by Defense Research and Development Organization as part
of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program, has been shelved. Defence Minister
George Fernandes indicated this in Rajya Sabha (upper house of parliament), when he said the
Trishul missile had been de-linked from user service, though it would be continued as a
technology demonstrator.[20]

Akash missile system[edit]

Main article: Akash missile

An Akash missile being test fired from the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, Orissa. The
launch platform is a BMP-2 vehicle

Akash (Sanskrit: meaning Sky) is a medium range surface-to-air missile developed as

part of India's Integrated Guided Missile Development Program to achieve self-sufficiency in the
area of surface-to-air missiles. It is the most expensive missile project ever undertaken by the
Union government in the 20th century. Development costs skyrocketed to almost US$120
million which is far more than other similar systems.[19]

Akash is a medium-range surface-to-air missile with an intercept range of 30 km. It has a launch
weight of 720 kg, a diameter of 35 cm and a length of 5.8 metres. Akash flies at supersonic
speed, reaching around Mach 2.5. It can reach an altitude of 18 km. A digital proximity fuse is
coupled with a 55 kg pre-fragmented warhead, while the safety arming and detonation
mechanism enables a controlled detonation sequence. A self-destruct device is also integrated. It
is propelled by a solid fuelled booster stage. The missile has a terminal guidance system capable
of working through electronic countermeasures. The entire Akash SAM system allows for
attacking multiple targets (up to 4 per Battery). The Akash missile's use of ramjet propulsion
system allows it to maintain its speed without deceleration, unlike the Patriot missiles.[21] The
missile is supported by a multi-target and multi-function phased array fire control radar called
the 'Rajendra' with a range of about 80 km in search, and 60 km in terms of engagement.[22]
The missile is completely guided by the Radar, without any active guidance of its own. This
allows it greater capability against jamming as the aircraft self-protection jammer would have to
work against the high power Rajendra, and the aircraft being attacked is not alerted by any
terminal seeker on the Akash itself.

Design of the missile is similar to that of the SA-6 with four long tube ramjet inlet ducts mounted
mid-body between wings. For pitch/yaw control four clipped triangular moving wings are
mounted on mid-body. For roll control four inline clipped delta fins with ailerons are mounted
before the tail. However, internal schema shows a completely modernised layout, including an
Onboard computer with special optimised trajectories, and an all digital Proximity fuse.

The Akash system meant for the Army uses the T-72 tank chassis for its launcher and radar
vehicles. The Rajendra derivative for the Army is called the Battery Level Radar-III. The Air
Force version uses an Ashok Leyland truck platform to tow the missile launcher, while the Radar
is on a BMP-2 chassis and is called the Battery Level Radar-II. In either case, the launchers carry
three ready-to-fire Akash missiles each. The launchers are automated, autonomous and
networked to a command post and the guidance radar. They are slewable in azimuth and
elevation. The Akash system can be deployed by rail, road or air.

The first test flight of Akash missile was conducted in 1990, with development flights up to
March 1997.

The IAF has initiated the process to induct the Akash surface-to-air missiles developed as a part
of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. The Multiple target handling capability
of Akash weapon system was demonstrated by live firing in a C4I environment during the trials.
Two Akash missiles intercepted two fast moving targets in simultaneous engagement mode in
2005 itself. The Akash System's 3-D central acquisition radar (3-D car) group mode performance
was then fully established.[23][24]

In December,2007 Indian Air Force completed user trials for the Akash missile system. The
trials, which were spread over ten days were successful and the missile hit its target on all five
occasions. Before the ten-day trial at Chandipur, the Akash system's ECCM Evaluation tests
were carried out at Gwalior Air force base while mobility trials for the system vehicles were
carried out at Pokhran. The IAF had evolved the user Trial Directive to verify the Akash's
consistency in engaging targets. The following trials were conducted: Against low flying near
range target, long range high altitude target, crossing and approaching target and ripple firing of
two missiles from the same launcher against a low altitude receding target.[25] Following this, the
IAF declared that it would initiate the induction of 2 squadrons strength (each squadron with 2
batteries) of this missile system, to begin with. Once deliveries are complete, further orders
would be placed to replace retiring SA-3 GOA (Pechora) SAM systems.[26][27] In February 2010,
the Indian Air Force ordered six more squadrons of the Akash system, taking orders to eight of
the type. The Indian Army is also expected to order the Akash system.

Nag missile system[edit]

Main article: Nag Missile
Nag Missile

Nag (Sanskrit: meaning 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. The carriers are capable of carrying four ready-to-fire missiles in
the observation/launch platform which can be elevated with more missiles available for reload
within the carrier. For the Air Force, a nose-mounted thermal imaging system has been
developed for guiding the missile's trajectory "Helina". The missile has a complete fiberglass
structure and weighs around 42 kg.

Nag was test fired for the 45th time on 19 March 2005 from the Test Range at Ahmednagar
(Maharastra), signalling the completion of the developmental phase. It will now enter production
phase, subject to user trials and acceptance by the Indian Army.

Further versions of the missile may make use of an all-weather Milli Metric Wave (MMW)
seeker as an additional option. This seeker has reportedly been developed and efforts are on to
integrate it into the missile.

Other developments[edit]
There were a number of failures and successes, which led to an expansion of the program in the
1990s, to develop the long range Agni missile, a ballistic missile (codenamed Sagarika), which
would be the naval version of the Prithvi, and an inter-continental-ballistic-missile (codenamed
Surya missile) with a range of 8,00012,000 km.[28]
In 1998, the Government of India, signed an agreement with Russia to design, develop,
manufacture and market a Supersonic Cruise Missile System which has been su successfully
ccessfully
accomplished by 2006. BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from
submarines, ships, aircraft or land. At speeds of Mach 2.5 to 2.8, it is the world's fastest cruise
missile and is about three and a half times faster than the American subsonic Harpoon cruise
missile. BAPL is contemplating a hyphypersonic
ersonic Mach 8 version of the missile, named as the
BrahMos II. BrahMos II will be the first hypersonic cruise missile and is expected to be ready by
13. The laboratory testing of the missile has started.[29]
201213.

According to a statement by Dr. S Prahlada (DRDO Director), new missile and weapons systems
would henceforth be developed in fivefive-year
year programs and include both Indian private industries
as well
ell as foreign partners to lower costs. Further development work on Nag and Surya missile
would continue independently.[30] In addition, the DRDO is also developing a laser-based
laser weapon
system as part of its ballistic missile defence program to intercept and destroy missiles
miss soon after
they are launched towards the country.[31]

Since 2008, follow on strategic projects are being either pursued singly (e.g. the Agni project)
pr
[32]
whereas tactical systems could involve joint ventures with foreign partners.

India is said to be in the intermediate stages of ddeveloping a new cruise missile, Nirbhay
(Sanskrit:  meaning fearless ). The subsonic Nirbhay is said to be 6 m in length with a
fearless).
520 mm diameter, weigh 1,000 kg and have a 1,000 km range with a speed of 0.7 mach. The
technology demonstrator flight is planned for end-2009.[33]

In September 2008, Indian scientists developed a path

path-breaking
breaking technology that has the potential
to increase the range of missiles and satellite launch vehicles by at least 40%.The enhanced range
is made possible by adding a special
special-purpose
purpose coating of chromium metal to the blunt nose cone
of missiles and launch vehicles. This would addadd-up on the stated range.[34]

A new tactical missile that will fill the gap between the Pinaka rocket system and the Prithvi
series of missile has been developed. The first successful test of the missile was carried on 17
July 2011. The 150 km range missile has been named Prahaar.. Each Road mobile launcher is
designed to carry six missiles.[35]
