BALASORE: As part of efforts to develop a multi-layer interceptor missile system, India on Thursday successfully test fired an indigenously-built Advanced Air Defence (AAD) missile capable of destroying hostile missiles at low altitude from the integrated test range off Orissa coast.

The trial was conducted from two different launch sites of the ITR in the Bay Of Bengal in the presence of top defence scientists, defence sources said.

The target missile, a modified indigenously-built Prithvi, was first test fired from a mobile launcher at 1100 hours from ITR's launch complex-3 at Chandipur-on-sea while two minutes 40 seconds later the interceptor was fired from Wheeler's Island 70 nautical miles from here to destroy it at an altitude of 15 km in mid air.

The entire trial starting from launch to interception and destruction of the target was successful meeting all the required data, an official associated with the test said.

Now detailed results, specifically the kill effects of the interceptor of the co-ordinate exercise, would be assessed by analysing data from multiple source, he said.

Yet to get a formal name, this hypersonic new interceptor missile is termed as AAD-02 meant to be engaged in Endo-Atmospheric conditions, the official said.

An Exo-atmospheric interceptor missile PAD-01 had been successfully tested on November 27, 2006 to destroy an incoming Prithvi missile at an altitude of 50 km while a solo and mock trial of the present variant was conducted on December two, 2007 with a simulated electronic target from the wheelers island, they said.

עכשיו ובעקבות המכירה של מכ"ם האורן ירוק נשאלת השאלה מה הקשר בין המערכות (חץ ו-AAD)? האם זו באמת מערכת שהודו פיתחה לבדה או שנעשה שימוש מסויים במערכות ישראליות ורק המיירט הוא הודי?
