India successfully tests BMD system as interceptor destroys incoming missile
New Indian ExpressBHUBANESWAR: India's efforts to develop a robust multi-layered Ballistic Missile Defence shield received a significant boost with the advanced area defence interceptor successfully destroying an incoming ballistic missile in the endo-atmospheric region over the Bay of Bengal. Defence sources stated that the low-altitude supersonic interceptor missile, fired from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, successfully intercepted the target missile launched from Abdul Kalam Island at an altitude of less than 15 km. The mission met all trial objectives, validating a complete network-centric warfare weapon system consisting of long-range sensors, a low-latency communication system, and the interceptor missile. The Phase-II AD endo-atmospheric missile is an indigenously developed two-stage solid fuel-propelled ground-launched missile system designed to neutralise various enemy ballistic missile threats in the endo to low exo-atmospheric regions.
