Fateh-110
The Fateh-110 ( "conqueror"), also known as NP-110, is an Iranian solid-fueled surface-to-surface missile, surface-to-surface ballistic missile produced by Iran's Iran Aviation Industries Organization, Aerospace Industries Organization since 2002. It is single-stage, road-mobile and can carry a high-explosive warhead of up to 500 kg. Four different versions, the Fateh-110A, 110B, 110D-1 and Fateh-E Mobin were developed with varying accuracy. The latest version (Fateh-E Mobin), first shown to the public in August 2018 reportedly has a range of 300 km and is reportedly more accurate than previous versions. The Fateh-110 was reportedly developed from Iran's Zelzal-2 unguided artillery rocket. A version of the Fateh-110 is also license-built in Syria as the M-600. The missile has been used in the Syrian Civil War by Iran and Syria. Its presence in Syria was cited as a reason for the US transferring two MIM-104 Patriot, Patriot missile defense systems to Turkey in 2012. The Fat ...

Agni-P
Agni-Prime or Agni-P (Sanskrit: अग्नि; IAST: Agni; lit. ''Fire'') is a two-stage, surface to surface, canister-launched, road mobile and solid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile being developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as the sixth missile in the Agni series. It is intended to be deployed in the operational service of the Strategic Forces Command, and to feature significant upgrades to the composite motor casing, a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MaRV) along with improved propellants, navigation and guidance systems. History In 2016, Indian media began reporting that DRDO was developing a successor to the Agni-I called Agni-1P, which would feature two stages that borrowed the newer technologies from Agni-IV and Agni-V to increase accuracy and reliability. According to a senior scientist from the DRDO's missile complex in Hyderabad: India started working on area denial weapons after China developed the DF-21D and DF-26B bal ...

Agni-II
Agni-II (), is the second strategic ballistic missile of the Agni family envisaged to be the mainstay of the Indian missile-based strategic nuclear deterrence. The Agni-II is a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) with two solid fuel stages and a Post Boost Vehicle (PBV) integrated into the missile's Re-entry Vehicle (RV). The Agni's manoeuvring RV is made of a carbon- carbon composite material that is light and able to sustain high thermal stresses of re-entry, in a variety of trajectories. The Agni-IIA is a more advanced version of Agni-II, albeit with more sophisticated and lighter materials, yielding a better range and operating regime. Agni-IIA was later renamed as Agni-IV plugging the gap between Agni-II and Agni-III. While the first test of Agni-IV in December 2010 was a failure, the second test flight in November 2011 was a success Agni-II, developed as part of medium- and long-range Agni series of missile systems, has already been inducted into the Armed Forces.

Shaurya (missile)
Shaurya () is a hypersonic, canister-launched surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile developed by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for use by the Indian Armed Forces. It has a range of and is capable of carrying a payload of conventional or nuclear warhead. Description The Shaurya missile is speculated to be the land version of the submarine-launched Sagarika K-15 missile. However, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) officials have reportedly denied its connection with the K-15 programme. Shaurya incorporates a ring laser gyroscope and accelerometer, which was tested and integrated by the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) based in Hyderabad. The Shaurya missile was revealed to be designed specifically to be fired from submarines. Once it reaches the target area it manoeuvres towards the target before striking with an accuracy of 20 to 30 m within the target area. Testing The missile was launched from an undergro ...

Prithvi Missile
Prithvi () is a tactical surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP). It is deployed by India's Strategic Forces Command. Development and history The Government of India launched the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program in 1983 to achieve self-sufficiency in the development and production of wide range of ballistic missiles, surface-to-air missiles etc. Prithvi was the first missile to be developed under the program. DRDO attempted to build a surface-to-air missile under Project Devil. Variants make use of either liquid or both liquid and solid fuels. Developed as a battlefield missile, it could carry a nuclear warhead in its role as a tactical nuclear weapon. The aerodynamic characterization research was conducted at the National Aerospace Laboratories' 1.2m Trisonic Wind Tunnel Facility. Variants The Prithvi m ...

Pralay (missile)
Pralay () is a canisterised surface-to-surface, short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) for battlefield use developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. The missile is an amalgamation of technologies developed for exoatmospheric interceptor missile Prithvi Defence Vehicle (PDV) and the Prahaar tactical missile. The project to develop Pralay was sanctioned in March 2015 with a budget of . Development Research Centre Imarat (RCI) is the lead integrator of this project. Pralay belongs to the same class as Dongfeng 12 (CSS-X-15), Precision Strike Missile, 9K720 Iskander and Hyunmoo 2. Powered by a solid fuel rocket motor, the missile reportedly flies a quasi-ballistic trajectory with the ability to perform terminal maneuvers to hinder anti-ballistic missile (ABM) interceptors. Time from deployment to launch is reportedly within 10 minutes, while transition time from command to launch is reportedly 60 seconds. Pralay uses the same composite p ...

Prahaar (missile)
Prahaar () is an Indian solid-fuel road-mobile surface to surface tactical ballistic missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Prahaar is expected to replace the Prithvi-I short-range ballistic missile in Indian service. Development Prahaar is developed to provide a cost-effective, quick-reaction, all-weather, all-terrain, highly accurate battlefield support tactical weapon system. The development of the missile was carried out by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientists in a span of less than two years. The maneuvering capability, greater acceleration, better accuracy and faster deployment fills the short-range tactical battlefield role as required by the Indian Army to take out strategic and tactical targets. The mobile launch platform will carry six missiles that can be deployed in stand-alone and canisterised mode, which can have different kind of warheads meant for different targets and can be fired i ...
