Armed Forces conduct two Prithvi missile tests

Army’s Strategic Forces Command, guided by the scientists of DRDO, successfully tested two Prithvi Missiles launched within one hour from the Interim Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, Orissa recently, as part of a regular exercise. Equipped with state-of-the-art guidance system these two missiles hit the targets with a very high degree of accuracy. All the radars, electrooptical tracking systems and telemetry stations along the coast monitored all the trajectory parameters of the missile throughout the mission. A ship located near the target location witnessed the final event. This is the second time two Prithvi missiles were flight tested successfully within a gap of one hour.
