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.

Originally planned for a launch by end of February this year, India will now try and test its 5,000-km range Agni-5 in March this year, to enter a league of select nations with missiles that can hit targets at that distance, many a times much beyond within their continent. This was conveyed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chief Dr. V.K. Saraswat at Bangalore on the sidelines of a function to mark the silver jubilee of Defence Avionics and Research Establishment, a DRDO lab. "Right now, we are doing integration of Agni-5," Saraswat, also the scientific advisor to the Indian defence minister, said.

With the DRDO lab Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) having developed the detonator which triggers the nuclear explosion and aids the successful take off of the 5,000 kilometer range Agni-V nuclear missile, state-run DRDO has confirmed that it has reached the final phase of the test. The strategic intermediate-range ballistic missile Agni-V is expected to be launched next month and inducted by 2014 into the armed forces. Speaking at a press conference at the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory.
