As part of efforts to develop a full fledged multi-layer
Ballistic Missile Defence system, India today Sunday Nov 22,2015 test-fired its
indigenously developed supersonic interceptor missile, capable of
destroying any incoming ballistic missile, from a test range off Odisha
coast.
“The test was conducted to validate various parameters of the interceptor in flight mode,” said defence sources.
The
interceptor, known as Advanced Air Defence (AAD) missile, was engaged
against an electronically prepared target which simulated the trajectory
of a hostile ballistic missile.
The interceptor is a 7.5-meter long single stage solid
rocket propelled guided missile equipped with a navigation system, a
hi—tech computer and an electro—mechanical activator, the sources said.
The interceptor missile had its own mobile launcher, secure data link for interception, independent tracking and homing capabilities and sophisticated radars
