Made in India Missiles
. BrahMos
BrahMos is the world's fastest cruise missile.
BrahMos (Hindi:बà¥à¤°à¤¹à¥à¤®à¥‹à¤¸, Russian: БрамоÑ) is a stealth supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land. It is a joint venture between Republic of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroeyenia who have together formed BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited. The name BrahMos is a portmanteau formed from the names of two rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia.
It is the world's fastest cruise missile in operation. The missile travels at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0.[4] The land launched and ship launched versions are already in service with air launched and submarine launched versions currently under testing phase.[5] An Air launched variant of Brahmos is planned which is expected to come out in 2012 and will make India the only country with supersonic cruise missiles in their army, navy, and air force.[6]
A hypersonic version of the missile is also presently under development with speed of Mach 7 to boost aerial fast strike capability.[7][8] . It is expected to be ready for testing by 2017.[9]
. Shaurya (missile)
The Shaurya missile (Sanskrit: Valour) is a canister launched hypersonic surface-to-surface tactical missile developed by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) for use by the Indian Armed Forces. It has a range of between 750 to 1900 km [5] and is capable of carrying a payload of one ton conventional or nuclear warhead.[8] It gives the potential to strike in the short-intermediate range against any adversary.[9] [3]
. Agni-V
Agni-V is an intercontinental ballistic missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. 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"[10] but afterwards he described Agni V as a missile with a range of 5,500-5,800 km.[3]
. Nag (missile)
Nag (Sanskrit: नाग, NÄg "Cobra") is a third generation "Fire-and-forget" anti-tank missile developed in India. It is one of five missile systems developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP). Nag has been developed at a cost of 300 crore (US$54.6 million).[2]
. Advanced Light Torpedo (TAL) Shyena is the first indigenous new-generation light-weight torpedo of India, developed by Naval Science and Technological Laboratory of the DRDO for the Indian Navy.[1][2
It is designed to be capable of launching from both a helicopter or from a triple-tube launcher on surface vessels. Its key design feature are maneuverability and ability to transition from warm to cold medium to ensure a hunt and kill.[1][2] The development period of the missile was quite long, starting in the 1990s, and was inducted into the Indian Navy on March 3, 2012, when the Indian Defence Minister A.K. Antony handed over the first consignment of TAL to the Navy in Hyderabad in March 3.[2]
. Sudarshan is a Indian laser-guided bomb kit, developed by Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), a DRDO lab with technological support from another DRDO lab Instruments Research and Development Establishment (IRDE), Dehradun,[1] for the Indian Air Force (IAF).[2][3][4] The announcement of this development was covered extensively by the Indian media.[5][6][7][8]
. Akash (missile)
Akash (Sanskrit: आकाश Ä€kÄÅ› "Sky") is a medium-range mobile surface-to-air missile defense system developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Ordnance Factories Board and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in India.[2][3][4] The missile system can target aircraft up to 30 km away, at altitudes up to 18,000 m.[5] A nuclear warhead could potentially give the missile the capability to destroy both aircraft and warheads from ballistic missiles.[6][7][8] It is in operational service with the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force.
. Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme
The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defense system to protect India from ballistic missile attacks.[1][2]
Introduced in light of the ballistic missile threat from Pakistan,[3] it is a double-tiered system consisting of two interceptor missiles, namely the Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) missile for high altitude interception, and the Advanced Air Defence (AAD) Missile for lower altitude interception. The two-tiered shield should be able to intercept any incoming missile launched 5,000 kilometers away.[4]
PAD was tested in November 2006, followed by AAD in December 2007.
With the test of the PAD missile, India became the fourth country to have successfully developed an Anti-ballistic missile system, after United States, Russia and Israel.[5] :thumb: On March 6, 2009, India again successfully tested its missile defense shield, during which an incoming "enemy" missile was intercepted at an altitude of 75 km.[6]
. Astra (Sanskrit: असà¥à¤¤à¥à¤°, Astra "Weapon") is an active radar homing beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), India. Astra is designed to be capable of engaging targets at varying range and altitudes allowing for engagement of both short-range targets (up to 20 km) and long-range targets (up to 80 km) using alternative propulsion modes.[3] As of May 2011, the missile is undergoing developmental trials.[1]
. Prithvi
Prithvi (Sanskrit: पृथà¥à¤µà¥€, pá¹›thvÄ« "Earth") is a tactical surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) developed by DRDO of India under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program.
5,600 kg (Prithvi III). The missile can carry a 1,000 kg warhead to a distance of 350 km and a 500 kg warhead to a distance of 600 kilometres and a 250 kilogram warhead up to a distance of 750 kilometres.
. Prahaar (missile)
Prahaar (Sanskrit:पà¥à¤°à¤¹à¤¾à¤°, Strike) is a solid-fuelled surface-to-surface guided short-range tactical ballistic missile by DRDO of India. It would be
equipped with omni-directional warheads and could be used for hitting both tactical and strategic targets.[2]
