India to test-fire Advanced Air Defence missile today

[xebex]

why would India test a missile by where people lives?

Bcoz we are running short of land, part of the reason we dont want to 'lose' anymore land to 'others'. Also, it would be splendid if China can lease some desserted land for India to test the missile.

It probably gonna have to do with trajectory of the projectile and its distance from huge population. Beside, its a test range!

Test fire of interceptor missile postponed

After being put off on Sunday, the test-fire of India's [ Images ] indigenously built Advanced Air Defence (ADD) interceptor missile, capable of destroying hostile in-coming ballistic missiles, is likely to be held at Integrated Test Range Island off the Orissa coast on Monday.

The trial, scheduled for the day at the Wheeler Island was postponed due to some technical snag in the sub-system, official sources said. After sorting out the problem and thorough examination of all systems, it was decided to make the test tomorrow as part of efforts to develop a full fledged multi-layer Ballistic Missile Defence System, defence sources said.

As planned earlier, the test-fire is proposed to be carried out from two different launch sites of ITR, they said. The target missile, a modified indigenously built Prithvi would first lift off from a mobile launcher from the ITR's launch complex at Chandipur-on-sea, 15 km from Balasore.

Minutes later the interceptor missile would blast off from the Wheeler's Island, about 70 km across the sea from Chandipur, to intercept it at an altitude of 15 to 20 km in mid-air over the waters. The new hypersonic interceptor missile is only called 'AAD' and is meant to be used in 'endo-atmospheric conditions'.

The interceptor missile test, scheduled to be conducted on Sunday, was put off after one of the pre-launch operations got delayed during the final countdown. It will take place on Monday.

According to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) officials, there was no technical snag or malfunctioning.

Delay in assembly

The test had to be postponed due to delay in assembly and operation of the one of the sub-systems. Since the delay had led to overshooting the specified time allotted by the civil aviation authorities, the exercise had to be deferred.

The officials said it would be held on Monday after getting fresh clearance from the civil aviation authorities.

During the test, an endo-atmospheric interception of an incoming ballistic missile would be carried out at low altitude, off the Orissa coast. While a variant of the surface-to-surface Prithvi, acting as “hostile” missile, would lift off from the Integrated Test Range's Launch Complex-III, a high-speed interceptor, Advanced Air Defence 12 missile, would be fired from Wheeler Island a few minutes later to intercept and kill the target.
