Praduyama

Praduyama is the indian BMD (ballastic missile Defence) system, at present can cover an area of 200 sq km and is comparable of such systems like the Patriot missile system from the US and the Arrow missile system from Israel.

Praduyama” can liquidate the target at altitudes of 50km and beyond in “exo’ mode, the BMD can also hit the target at heights of less than 20 km in “endo” mode as was done earlier this month from Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-Sea in Orissa. The DRDO scientists would now focus on conducting simultaneous tests of “endo’ and ‘exo” by launching multiple interceptors on an incoming target

The two successful tests of the BMD system with the indigenously developed “interceptor missile” hitting a “target missile” last week in Orissa has prompted Indians to get a missile shield for all Indian Cities in next 24 months.
