A missile is a self-propelled precision-guided munition with four key components: guidance, flight system, engine, and warhead. India has developed various missiles through DRDO for its defense, including Prithvi, Agni, Akash, and BrahMos. DRDO was established to develop a multilayered ballistic missile defense system to protect India from ballistic missile attacks. Important current and future missiles discussed are Agni 1-5, Prahaar, Dhanush, Shaurya, BrahMos, Astra, and Surya 1-2.

2. WHAT IS A MISSILE?
 a Missile is a self-propelled precision-guided munition system, as opposed to an
unguided self-propelled munitions', referred to as a rocket . Missiles have four
system components: targeting and/or missile guidance, flight system, engine,
and warhead. Missiles come in types adapted for different purposes: surface-to-
surface and air-to-surface missiles, surface-to-air missiles , air-to-air missiles,
and anti-satellite weapons. All known existing missiles are designed to be
propelled during powered flight by chemical reactions inside a rocket engine, jet
engine, or other type of engine

3. INDIA’S MISSILE SYSTEM
• India has nearly 15,200km of land border 7,51,650km of sea border to
protect.
• Our country has also a friendly relationships with our neighbouring
countries and we desired to live in peace but our neighbouring countries
do not permit us to do so
• For the protection our country the defence system is needed, hence our
country has got Army Navy and Air force . These organs use different
kinds guns, riffles etc … in those Missile are the important one
• For the development in missile field DRDO (Defence Research and
Development Organisation ) was established.

4. DEFENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
ORGANISATION(DRDO)
 The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is
an agency of the Republic of India, charged with the military's research and
development, headquartered in New Delhi, India. It was formed in 1958 by the
merger of the Technical Development Establishment and the Directorate of
Technical Development and Production with the Defence Science Organisation.
It is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Defence, Government of
India
 This was a organisation that was organised to develop and deploy of
multilayered ballistic system to survive from ballistic missile attacks

5. IMPORTANT MISSILES OF INDIA
 There are many important missiles developed by India for security
purpose
 Some of them are Pruthvi, Trishul, Akash, Agni 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Prahaar,

it
 India has set a goal of selling the fastest missile Brahmos for 10 countries
in the international market .
 Vietnam is ready to purchase the missile Brahmos and Shaurya missiles

18. FUTURE MISSILES OF INDIA
