Integrated Guided Missile Development Program

The project started in 1982-1983 under leadership of A P J Abdul Kalam and ended in 2008 after these strategic missiles were successfully developed

Trishul missile system

 India officially shut the down Trishul Missile project on 27 February 2008.^[20] The program, one of the five missiles being developed by Defense Research and Development Organization as part of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program, has been shelved. Defence Minister George Fernandes indicated this in Rajya Sabha (upper house of parliament), when he said the Trishul missile had been de-linked from user service, though it would be continued as a technology demonstrator

 

Akash missile system

 

The missile is completely guided by the Radar, without any active guidance of its own. This allows it greater capability against jamming as the aircraft self-protection jammer would have to work against the high power Rajendra, and the aircraft being attacked is not alerted by any terminal seeker on the Akash itself

Nag missile system

Nag was test fired for the 45th time on 19 March 2005 from the Test Range at Ahmednagar (Maharastra), signalling the completion of the developmental phase. It will now enter production phase, subject to user trials and acceptance by the Indian Army.
