 Agni-I MRBM
Agni-I is also designed to be launched from a rail-based mobile launcher; one that can move on a standard broad-gauge rail system and also from a road-mobile launcher system.
During the test, the Agni-I missile was launched at a sub-optimal trajectory to reach an altitude of 300 km on a range of 700 km, corresponding to launch angle of 67º.
Agni-I is very accurate as it uses the Agni-II guidance sub-systems over shorter range, and better RV configuration for extended flight control envelope.

 Agni [Strategic Ballistic Missile]
The Agni's manoeuvring RV is made of a carbon-carbon composite material that is light and able to sustain high thermal stresses of re-entry, in a variety of trajectories.
Agni is unlike long-range missiles developed by western missiles where the RV is a passive ballistic load, whose accuracy depends on the launching vehicle's exact insertion into the sub-orbital trajectory.
Agni's Project Director, Avinash Chander, said the effort to operationalise the missile system was complex, as it involved reducing the host of computer's processing information, both inside the missile and ground control systems, to a single control system.
