Missile Development Programme

Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) was started in 1983 and completed in March 2012. IGMDP was sanctioned to develop Prithvi, Trishul, Akash, Nag and a Technology Demonstrator Agni Missile.

Achieved targets are:-

• Prithvi series of missile has been inducted.

• Akash missile is under production and induction.

• Nag with re-configured Nag Missile Carrier (NAMICA) cross country trial has been undertaken.

• Trishul missile system has been completed as “Technology Demonstrator” due to delay in development of state-of-the-art technology and change in requirement of Armed Forces.

Agni re-entry “Technology Demonstrator” project has been completed successfully and technology is used for Agni series of missile.
