DRDO Tests Revolutionary Rail Based Launcher for Agni-Prime Missile

DRDO, in collaboration with the Strategic Forces Command (SFC), has successfully launched the Intermediate Range Agni-Prime Missile. The launch was from a Rail based Mobile launcher system under a full operational scenario on 24^th Sep 2025. This next generation missile is designed to cover a range up to 2000 km. It is equipped with various advanced features.

The launch was the first of its kind. It was carried out from a specially designed Rail based Mobile Launcher. This launcher has the capability to move on the Rail network without any pre-conditions. It provides for cross country mobility and has the capability to launch within a short reaction time with reduced visibility. It is self-sustained and is equipped with all independent launch capability features including the state-of-the-art communication systems and protection mechanisms.

The Missile trajectory was tracked by various ground stations, and it was a text book launch meeting all mission objectives. This successful launch will enable futuristic rail-based systems induction into services. The launch was witnessed by senior scientists of DRDO and Officers of Strategic Forces Command.

The Road Mobile Agni-P has already been inducted into the services after a series of successful flight trials.
