A true hi-tech missile.... composite rocket motor, fin-less config, two redundant guidance systems Ring Laser Gyros based high accuracy INS (RINS) and Micro Navigation System (MINGS) complementing each other, distributed Avionics architecture, high speed reliable communication bus and a full Digital Control System resulted in a text book launch with very high accuracy. Kudos....
MoD/DRDO Official Release
India has successfully test fired the most advanced long range missile system Agni-4 on 15th November 2011. The missile was launched from a Road Mobile System at 9.00AM from Wheelers’ Island off the coast of Odisha.
The missile had a text book trajectory and reached a height of about 900kms
and reached the pre-designated target in the international waters of Bay of Bengal. All mission objectives were fully met. All the systems functioned perfectly till the end encountering the re-entry temperatures of more than 3000⁰C.
This missile is one of its kinds of world class, proving many new technologies for the first time, giving a quantum leap in technology.The Missile System has opened a new era in the class of Long Range Missile having capability to carry Strategic Warheads for the Forces and has provided a fantastic deterrence to the country.
The Missile is lighter in weight and has two stages of Solid Propulsion and a Payload with Re-entry heat shield. The Composite Rocket Motor which has been used for the first time has given excellent performance. The Missile System is equipped with modern and compact Avionics with Redundancy to provide high level of reliability.
The indigenous Ring Laser Gyros based high accuracy INS (RINS) and Micro Navigation System (MINGS) complementing each other in redundant mode have been successfully flown in guidance mode for the first time. The high performance onboard computer with distributed Avionics architecture and high speed reliable communication bus and a full Digital Control System have controlled and guided the Missile to the target. The Missile has reached the target with very high level of accuracy.
All the Radars and electro-optical systems along the Coast of Odisha have tracked and monitored all the parameters of the Vehicle. Two Indian Naval ships located near the target have witnessed the final event.
Dr V.K. Saraswat, SA to RM has congratulated all the Scientists and employees of DRDO and the Armed forces for the successful launch of AGNI-4. Avinash Chander, Chief Controller (Missiles & Strategic Systems), DRDO and Programme Director, AGNI has overseen all the preparations and launch operations and congratulated all the Scientists. Tessy Thomas, Project Project Director AGNI-4 and team prepared and integrated the Missile System and launched the Missile successfully. Commander in Chief of Strategic Force Command Air Marshal K.J. Mathews has witnessed the launch. S.K. Ray, Director RCI, P. Venugopalan, Director DRDL, Dr V.G. Sekaran Director ASL, S.P. Dash Director ITR were present during the launch and reviewed all the activities.

Another pic... (high resolution)
Ain't she a beauty?
Looking at the old pics of Agni 1 launch and comparing them with these; one feels really happy and proud of the advancements in Indian rocketry. Everything from the build quality, dimensions, avionics and of course range have improved by leaps and bounds!

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
IMO, it was a test bed for MIRVed RV for Agni V ?
Actually Agni-5 is completely different from this. But DRDO said they will go ahead with Agni-V launch if today's launch is successful. So prepare for another blast off soon boys.

Launch trajectory (you could see the range =~ 3000 km) - courtesy - galaxy.
[h=1]Agni-IV Test Launch Trajectory Tracking Video[/h]
---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------
As you can see the missile trajectory is a bit steep. Now we have studies in physics that any projectile that is laaunched @ 45 deg to the hotizontal travels the maximum range. Is it possible in this case ?

I missed that part!!!! Agni-IV has 3500 km range than what is the actual range of Agni-III which can carry 1.5 ton payloads!!!!
Our DRDO officials are one bunch of slimy bastards
D) giving us all confusing info and maintaining the secrecy.Anyway Congos are in order for them for a job well done.

Our missile systems are enough to thwart any one with an evil eye. Now the only thing remaining is another series of 'Pokhran' tests to re-validate the warhead tech. But in current political situation it may take some time. But that is a necessity.
