Mission Divyastra: India successfully tested Agni-5 ballistic missile incorporating MIRV technology

India achieved great success by successfully testing Agni-5 ballistic missile incorporating Multi-Mission Reentry Vehicles (MIRV) on 11 March 2024. This success has made India a unique group of countries among the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council that have missiles that operate using multiple rocket systems.

Mission Divyastra: A Flight Test Victory

A flight test called Mission Divyastra by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) was conducted at APJ Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha. A network of telemetry and radar stations carefully tracks and monitors the Agni-5 missile's multiple re-entry vehicles throughout the mission and declared the mission a success as it met all conditions. Multi-warhead missile technology emerged during the Cold War, allowing a single missile to deliver multiple nuclear warheads to multiple targets. Each head is mounted on a reentry vehicle and can be programmed to fire at a specific location. Rockets with multiple warheads can reach targets with a range of up to 1,500 kilometers by firing warheads at different ranges and ranges.

Part of success of Multi-Warhead Missile in India

Completion of Multi-Warhead Missile Carrier Technology for Agni-5 Missile System has a major impact on India's capabilities in two parts:

Advanced Deterrence :

Multi-warhead missiles pose a major challenge to enemy missile defense systems. Deployment of multiple warheads and decoys can disrupt the ballistic missile defense system (BMD) and effectively engage the target. This capability improves India's defense system, especially against China, which has the ability to defend against powerful missiles.

Multiple Capacities:

Although the number of nuclear warheads that the Agni 5 multi-warhead missile can accommodate has not yet been made public, reports indicate that the missile can focus on at least three separate areas along the perimeter. large area. Flexibility in payload capacity allows the deployment of additional warheads and decoys when necessary.

Range of Agni 5: medium-range ballistic missile or intercontinental ballistic missile?

Currently classified as an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) with a range of 5,000 square meters, the actual capabilities of Agni-5 may exceed this classification, capable of launching intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with a range of more than 5,500 square meters. kilometer. Chinese officials always considered it an intercontinental ballistic missile and said it had a range of about 8,000 miles.

Recent developments indicate that India is working to improve the capabilities of the Burj Khalifa 5 missile, including weight reduction measures such as replacing hydraulic actuators with fire-activated actuators.Electric lighter - the first level of electrical equipment. As Agni-5 becomes lighter, its range will increase.

Road to the Future:

Multiple Warhead Missiles and Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles

The successful integration of multiple ballistic missiles into the Agni-5 missile system has paved the way for a new development for India's strategic weapons arsenal. Submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).

Women Leading the Project:

More importantly, the project was entrusted to Shankari Chandrasekaran, a woman scientist at DRDO, and supported by other women scientists. As Project Manager of Agni-5, Sheena Rani spearheaded its development, particularly by equipping it with MIRV technology at the DRDO Advanced Systems Laboratory.
