India has signaled that it is ready to deploy a home-grown Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system in the near future with a successful testing of an advanced interceptor missile, prompting the defence scientists to claim a shield could be thrown over Delhi skies by 2014. The big fireworks over the Bay of Bengal when India tested its experimental BMD system resulted in elation as the trial turned out to be "bang-on accurate". The interceptor missile destroyed an incoming target missile in a direct hit at an altitude of nearly 15 km over the Bay of Bengal, demonstrating the efficacy of the system. DRDO officials said the electronically simulated target, which mimicked a missile coming from a distance of 1,500 km, was electronically hit at an altitude of 120 km.

Mahindra Defence Systems (MDS) has ended all its ties with a blacklisted Swiss company for a project to produce surveillance radars for navy. MDS, a part of the Mahindra and Mahindra group, had tied up with Rheinmetall Air Defence-- a Zurich-based defence firm, for a proposed navy tender to produce surveillance radars for warships.
