Re: DRDO BMD System
The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defence system to protect from ballistic missile attacks. Introduced in light of the ballistic missile threat from mainly Pakistan, it is a double-tiered system consisting of two interceptor missiles, namely the Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) missile for high altitude interception, and the Advanced Air Defence (AAD) Missile for lower altitude interception. The two-tiered shield should be able to intercept any incoming missile launched 5,000 kilometres away Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) Type Exo-atmospheric Anti-ballistic missile Place of origin India Service history In service Induction Phase Production history Manufacturer Defence Research and Development Organisation Produced 26 November 2006 Specifications Detonation mechanism Proximity Engine Two Stage Propellant Liquid fuel propelled first stage with two propellants and oxidisers, solid fuel propelled second stage with gas thruster.
