Two operationalized Prithvi (P-II) Missiles were successfully launched today within minutes of each other, by the Armed Forces as part of the operational exercises. The launches took place at 10.30 AM from the launch pad at Interim Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, Balasore, Orissa.

The two missiles aimed at two different targets at 350 km. from the launch point, met all the mission objectives.

Two naval ships located at the targets, tracked and monitored both the missiles hitting the targets very accurately. All the radars and other sensors along the East coast monitored the Missiles trajectory parameter.

Prithvi, the first missile developed under Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme programme, has the capability to carry 500 Kg of warhead, has a length of nine metres with one metre diameter thrusted by liquid propulsion twin engine.

It uses advanced inertial guidance system with manoeuvring trajectory and reaches the targets with a few metre accuracy.

Both the missiles were from the stock of Armed Forces and the total launch activities were carried out by the Strategic Force Command.

The launches were witnessed by Scientific Adviser to Defence Minister, Dr. VK Saraswat, Lt Gen BS Nagal, C-in-C, Strategic Forces Command, Lt Gen VK Singh, GOC-in-C, Eastern Command, Sri Avinash Chander, Director Advanced Systems Laboratory, Shri SK Ray, Director, Research Centre Imarat, Shri SP Dash, Director ITR, Shri VLN Rao, Programmed Director, Maj Gen (Retd) R Khetrapal, CMD, Bharat Dynamics Limited and other senior DRDO Scientists.
