Around 10 months ago, India had showcased its newly developed Pragati tactical surface-to-surface missile at the International Aerospace and Defence Exhibition ADEX-2013 in South Korea.pragati missile

But in a major security lapse, the missile didn’t make its journey back home and lay unguarded, vulnerable and dangerously exposed for an entire month at a South Korean port.
The missile, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has a range of 60-170 km.

India Today has learnt that the Modi government has sounded the code red and decided to investigate the entire matter. The government wants to revisit a never before security scare for India’s missile programme.

Pragati is a highly potent and accurate short-range, battlefield tactical missile system capable of neutralising identified ground targets and providing an effective counter-force weapon system.

It has all weather day and night operational launch capability. It is a counter to Pakistan’s NASR tactical nuclear missile and crucial in maintaining India’s strategic edge over an unpredictable neighbour.

There is a series of violations in the journey of Pragati missile to South Korea.

The first violation is that the Pragati missile sent to South Korea for the exhibition wasn’t a dummy missile but an actual prototype that was to be used for a live firing.
Second, the logistical handling of the missile in South Korea was outsourced to a local agent of Chinese-origin.

Third, the prototype missile missed its ship back to India, stranding it unguarded and vulnerable at the Incheon port for an entire month. Finally, it lumbered back to India as unprotected commercial cargo without the safeguards it needed as sensitive military hardware.

The Pragati missile has quick reaction from command to launch in ripple firing mode of less than five seconds from same launcher. It is capable of carrying various types of conventional warhead of approximately 200 Kg.

The missile system has capability of deployment in stand-alone mode or centralised mode. With its effective and intelligent end trajectory maneuvreing, Pragati defeats detection by any weapon locating radar.

Sonia Gandhi,                                                                                                                                                Chairperson, United Progressive Alliance                                                                                                                       10-Janpath, New Delhi – 110 011

Respected Smt Sonia Ji                                                                                                                                                  It is the 12th anniversary when entire country has remembered their brave son’s who laid their lives.

Simultaneously people remembered the post KARGIL WAR analysis, our strength, our weakness in 1999, the role of DRDO in consuming thousand and thousand crores in the name of technology development. Than DRDO after KARGIL WAR promised to utilize the nation’s resources for deliver the indigenous develop arsenal to our defence forces.

But slowly the total energy was constraint to see big flow of funds on corruption and nepotism.  Issues like low intensity conflict were not addressed instead funds were given under CARS program to near and dear of top brass sitting in DRDO Hqrs.

Passed twelve years has seen the incompetency of two scientific advisers namely Dr V K Atre (Imported) and Dr Natrajan whose MBT project since 1972 is still looking for induction.

IGMDP was unceremonial closed.  The design of GTX engine is being developing in massage parlour of Bangalore instead of GTRE by Sh T Mohan Rao the wealthiest director of DRDO.

AWACES is integrated by importing import substitute by CABS.

The RADAR BFSR (Battle Field Surveillance Radar) and WLR ( Weapon Locating Radar) is being studied theoretically “ DRDO came in way of acquiring key radars before Kargil: Malik”

The statement of former Army chief V P Malik, who led the army during the 1999 Kargil war, has said casualties in the conflict could have been reduced had DRDO “not come in the way” in the acquisition of weapon-locating radar

SASE (Snow Avalanche Study Establishment) is doing avalanche study in Chandigarh while ITB jawans are losing their lives during avalanche breakdown for which prediction were made that there won’t be a breakdown.

The famous bullet proof jacket for Sh Hemant Karkare (lost his life in 26/11 Mumbai) was also tested by TBRL, DRDO expert and given clean chit.

On behalf of Poor tax Payers, I request SA To RM to shoulder the responsibility and fix the accountability to save the image of DRDO.

In this scenario what the poor tax payers needs.

  1. As social commitment government should pay the salary to DRDO.
  2. Fixing accountability if project is sanctioned.
  3. Some of areas where serious R & D work is involved be only taken up

i)           Missile Defence using HARP   (High Altitude Research Project)

ii)         99.99% round the clock communication network.

iii)        Seizing & freezing the auto engine from a safe distance to counter fidayeen attack.

iv)     Deep sea (400m-500m) submarine communication technology for mission mode operation

Thanking you
