The DRDO specializes within the following fields −

• Aeronautical Engineering
• Electronics
• Armaments

Missile Expertise

The event of missile expertise in India began within the 1960s. Think about the next level regarding Missile Expertise −

• The primary profitable testing of space-cum-missile expertise was the Rohini-75, which was examined in 1967.
• The analysis and improvement program of creating indigenous missiles was referred to as the Built-in Guided Missile Improvement Program’.

Forms of Army Missiles

• Floor-to-Floor − Such missiles are fired at enemy grounds from our grounds.
• Underwater − Such missiles goal enemy areas within the water.

The Built-in Guided Missile Improvement Program

The thought of Built-in Guided Missile Improvement Program (IGMDP) was conceptualized by the previous President and eminent scientist, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. The target of this program was to allow India to realize self-sufficiency within the discipline of missile expertise.

The missiles proposed underneath this program are −

• Prithvi − It’s a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile.
• Trishul − It’s a short-range surface-to-air missile.
• Akash − It’s a medium-range surface-to-air missile.
• Nag − It’s a third era anti-tank missile.

Agni Sequence

Agni is a collection of medium to intercontinental vary ballistic missiles. Agni missiles are medium-to-long vary, nuclear weapons succesful floor to floor ballistic missile.

Within the collection of Agni missiles, the primary (Agni-I) missile was developed underneath the Built-in Guided Missile Improvement Program within the 1980s and it was first examined in 1989.
