India To Establish Two More Missile Testing Ranges
India is planning to set up two more missile testing ranges with a number of missions coming up in the next few years.
India's present Integrated Test Range off the coast of Odisha is getting overloaded and plans were on to establish similar facilities along the Eastern Coast of the country.
This is good news and long awaited. Someone has woken up. WOW!!

The two new upcoming facilities would be full-fledged testing range to support both short-range and long-range missions. It would have a launch control centre, a few launch pads, a blockhouse and state-of-the-art communication network, besides permanent monitoring stations such as telemetry and electro-optical tracking.
Very few countries in the world had missile testing, flight testing or land ranges for conducting various weapons trials, like India does, starting from battle tanks to air defence. The country's huge geographic area permitted India to have these ranges at multiple places.
Apart from the two ranges along the Eastern seaboard, the DRDO was also planning to establish a Floating Test Range, which would include radars and launch facilities on a ship.
