Introduction

Ballistic Missile: Is a missile thatfollows a suborbital path with the

objective of delivering one or more

warheads to a predeterminedtarget.

Agni-IIIis an intermediate-range

ballistic missile developed by Indiaas the successor to Agni-II.

The ballistic missile has a range of

3,500 km- 5500 km

AGNI - III

India on February 7, 2010 successfully test firedsurface-to-surface intermediate range ballistic missile

(IRBM) Agni-III from the Wheeler Island, in the Bay of

Bengal off the coast of Orissa.

The Agni-III missile tested for the full range, hit thetarget with pinpoint accuracy and met all the mission

objectives.

This was the fourth test of the missile. The missile was

first test fired on July 9, 2006, but failed, However, its

second trial on April 12, 2007 and third on May 7,2008 were successful.

Aim and objective of the fourth trial was to test the

guidance system of the missile.

AGNI - III

It Uses Hybrid navigation including GPS andINS (Inertial navigation System).

Global Positioning System (GPS) providesreliable positioning, navigation, and timingservices to worldwide users in all weather,day and night, anywhere on or near theEarth which has an unobstructed view of fouror more GPS satellites.

Inertial Navigation System (INS): We have

Computers, Motion Sensors, RotationSensors to Continuously calculate theposition, orientation & velocity of a movingobject without the need of externalreference.
