Amid multiple threats facing India, the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has gone ahead and congratulated the DRDO for ‘Mission Divyastra’ — test of 6,000 km range Agni-V missile test with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) technology.
Under Mission Divyastra, the DRDO has flight tested indigenously developed Agni-5 missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology. This will ensure that a single missile can deploy multiple war heads at different locations. The project director is a woman and has significant women contributions as well.
With the test of Mission Divyastra, India has joined the select group of nations who have MIRV capability. This system is equipped with indigenous Avionics systems and high accuracy sensor packages, which ensured that the re-entry vehicles reached the target points within the desired accuracy. The capability is an enunciator of India’s growing technological prowess.
