Are they sticking to the 40m CEP for this test of A-III too?

Similarly, the Agni-3 launch showed that its propulsion systems could take the missile to an altitude of more than 1,000 km thereby enabling India to develop anti-satellite capabilities.



China had displayed to the world last year its capabilities in this sphere when it shot down a satellite in space. However, the DRDO chief said India ‘need not do it’ as it had the building blocks for developing such a system. Elaborating upon on this, Saraswat said “it is difficult to shoot down a satellite as its debris can be dangerous. Therefore, we can simulate this capability through an electronic satellite and we have the capacities to do so.”

ROCKSIM indicates Agni propulsion system based 3 stage confign can easily tackle a satellite at 7,000 Km altitude orbit, at interception range of 2000 Km.
