DRDO developed, 4000 km range Nuclear Capable Ballistic Missile AGNI-IV, was flight tested
from Wheeler’s Island around 1135hrs on 19 Sep 2012. This long range missile
propelled by composite rocket motor technology, was tested for its full
capability. The AGNI-IV missile launched from the road mobile launcher, reached
the pre-defined target in about 20 minutes.
The missile equipped with Avionics, 5thgeneration On Board Computer and with distributed
architecture has the latest features to correct and guide for inflight
disturbances.
The Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System
(RINS) supported by a Micro Navigation
System (MINGS), ensured the vehicle reached the target within two digit accuracy.
The re-entry heat shield withstood temperatures of more than 3000 degree centigrade and made sure the avionics functioned normally with
inside temperature less than 50 degree centigrade.
