	MIT Kalam History
		According to a status report of major ongoing projects of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) headed by Kalam, the development of the five indigenous missiles under the IGMDP is progressing as per schedule.
		"Agni" missile, the crown of the IGMDP, is being given top priority and DRDO scientists have been able to indigenously produce carbon-carbon composite material which could withstand temperatures upto 3500 degrees celsius during the flight of the missile.
		User trials of the other three missiles under the IGMDP - the 9 Km short range low level quick reaction Trishul for the three services, the 25Km medium range surface to air missile "Akash" with multiple target handling capability, the third generation 4Km range anti-tank "Nag" missile - were slated to commence next year.

	US Bazaar.com : Encyclopedia Pages : Akash missile
		The Agni missile (from Sanskrit Agnī meaning "Fire", one of the 5 elements of nature) is an IRBM developed under the IGMDP by India.
		It was first tested at the Interim Test Range in Chandipur in 1989, and is capable of carrying a conventional payload of 1000 kg (2,200 lb) or a nuclear warhead.
		The expertise and technology developed throught the IGMDP is also used in the new Anti ballistic missile called the Exoatmospheric interceptor system which successfully intercepted a Prithvi-II ballistic missile.

	Akash (Sky) surface-to-air missile
		For training the men and officers in handling Akash, scientists have developed simulator of the missile's seeker head in look down role and battery level radar under clutter and jamming environment.
		It is a part of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) undertaken by the Defence Rasearch Development Organisation (DRDO) in 1983.
		The major programs under the IGMDP are the development of missiles including Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Trishul and the Nag.

	A technologist and a team player
		It is the experience of managing the SLV-3 project that Kalam brought to bear on the management of the IGMDP but on a much larger scale.
		Besides, the IGMDP programme, being user-driven, introduced the concept of concurrent engineering in which the user agencies and the production agencies of the system being developed are part of the development process from Day One.
		Akash is still to be successfully fully tested and proven, Trishul may even be scrapped because it has already become obsolete, Nag is yet to be developed and the original solid-liquid fuel version of Agni is yet to be productionised and inducted.

		The last three trials were conducted in July 2006.The Trishul program began as part of the IGMDP, in 1983 under the guidance of Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam.
		Initially it was intended only as a technology demonstrator, which meant that work on it would have formed the basis for developing missiles of the same category.
		The other programmes under IGMDP are Prithvi, Agni, Akash and Nag, of which development and trials of Prithvi and Agni are said to be completed and both have gone into production stage.

	Developing a delivery system
		In fact, until its last test flight in February 1994 as part of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Agni was being touted as a 'Technology Demonstrator', and that too one meant to carry only conventional warheads.
		A DRDO brochure on the IGMDP, issued in mid-1998, said: "The Agni IRBM has been successfully developed and successfully evaluated in flights, establishing re-entry, guidance and control.
		According to A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, who heads the DRDO and the IGMDP, what is unique about Agni is the trajectory shaping and guidance that is possible through software.

	New Missiles from New Delhi Press File
		India’s integrated missile development programme (IGMDP) has been routinely realising high performance missiles and the Nag is a good example of this excellence.
		It is the first of its kind in the world with fire-and-forget capability which enables the launcher to escape easy detection.
		The IGMDP has certainly come of age as an indispensable umbrella for various defence labs and technical institutions to write the success story of India’s indigenous development of missiles.

	A limited perspective
		Tiwari, who was associated with the airframe development of the Akash missile, one of the five missiles in the IGMDP established in 1982 under Kalam, is currently helping realise Kalam's vision of developing cost-effective medical devices through the use of spin-offs from defence research and development, at the Cardiovascular Technology Institute, Hyderabad.
		It was during this period that the major DRDO programmes - the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), the Main Battle Tank (MBT) and the IGMDP itself - witnessed their critical phases and, with the exception of the surface-to-surface missile Prithvi, none of them is close to being produced for the Services.
		It is true that technology management in India has acquired a new paradigm following the IGMDP's approach to tapping talent from across the country rather than from within the confines of a given organisation.

	PIB Press Release
		Responding to a query from media persons on the sidelines of the Naval Commanders’ Conference here today, the Defence Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee said that the Project’s completion date was to get over by December 2006 and on the suggestion of DRDO he had extended the same by one year on September 29, 2006.
		The status of IGMDP was reviewed by the Guided Missile Board(GMB) chaired by the Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister, Shri.
		Giving a broad overview of the IGMDP, he said, the Programme encompasses five projects such as Trishul, Prithvi, Nag, Agni and Akash.

	Career of Dr. A. P. J. Kalam III
		Five missiles were to be built: the surface-to-surface missile Prithvi; the tactical core missile called Trishul; the surface-to-air medium-range missile Akash; the anti-tank missile Nag; and the IRBM named Agni which involved the design and development of a re-entry vehicle.
		he IGMDP was finally launched by Arunachalam at DRDL on July 27, 1983.
		The first flight of the Agni missile (an IRBM) was conducted in May, 1989, about six years after the IGMDP was launched, and it established the re-entry technology and precise guidance for reaching the intended target.

	Rediff On The NeT: Prithvi warhead test successful
		Some defence experts are of the view that the development of Prithvi and other missiles under the IGMDP was spurred by the Gulf war.
		According to defence experts, India's case for a missile programme stems from the fact that ever since Independence it has been a victim of intrigue and aggression.
		It is also felt that military pressures have not only stunted India's economic growth and social development, but also diverted a crucial portion of the country's finances towards military purchases from foreign sources.

		The IGMDP involved the development of two strategic ballistic missile systems: two variants of a short-range ballistic missile (Prithvi), and a medium-range technology demonstrator (Agni).
		After the launch of the IGMDP in 1983, the DRDO further expanded and refurbished these facilities, and gained competence in the areas of solid propellants, composites, and advanced metallurgy.
		In this regard, the IGMDP and the Agni program marked the beginning of cooperation between the ISRO and the DRDO.

	Prithvi Missiles: the consolidation of Indian deterrent value in Indo-Pak relations
		No matter how contextual the previous decisions were undertaken, there remains a couple of few examinable facts relating to the past national security planning and pronouncements of the country’s goal.
		Towards achieving the goal of self-sufficiency in indigenous missile arsenal, focus was primarily on Prithvi (I, II and III) and Agni (technology demonstrator and Agni II) missile variants.
		India needs to closely review the past and present defence preparedness that include innovations in IGMDP to assure advancements in the requirement-design-development-production-deployment cycle to strengthen the security planning and management of the country in future.

		By far Prithvi, the battle-horse of the IGMDP, has been accepted by all the users — the Army, the Navy and the Air Force — and has been inducted.
		It is being produced by the Hyderabad-based, Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), a defence public sector undertaking.
		When the IGMDP was launched in 1982-83, the industrial infrastructure in the country was not so good.

		It has the highest warhead-weight to overall-weight of any missile in its class, thanks to its unique aerodynamic design with delta wings located mid-body that allow it to glide during flight.
		India launched the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) in 1983 to concurrently develop and produce a wide range of missiles for surface-to-surface and surface-to-air roles.
		Agni, Prithvi, Trishul, Akash, Nag and Astra also form part of the IGMDP, which is being managed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

		But what makes the Agni-III's failure significant is that unlike its shorter-range predecessors, it was a wholly new design, developed with the specific purpose of delivering a nuclear warhead.
		The Agni-I (range 700 to 800 kilometers) and Agni-II were both products of India's space program and connected to its Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP), itself launched in 1983.
		Originally, their design used a satellite space-launching rocket (SLV-3) as the first stage, on top of which was mounted the very short-range (150 to 250 kilometers) liquid fuel-propelled Prithvi missile.

	Talk:Integrated Guided Missile Development Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much better to say, for example, "The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) is an Indian program for the development of a comprehensive range of missiles." Note that "missiles" should be lowercase.
		It looks like IGMDP is the umbrella for all indigenous missile development since the 1980s.
		India started the IGMDP (Integrated Guided Missile Development Program) for developing a range of missiles like the short range Prithvi ballistic missile, intermediate range Agni ballistic missile, surface to air Akash, Trishul missiles and the anti tank Nag missile.

		Of the five missile families that the DRDO announced at the IGMDP launch in July 1983, two ballistic missiles, the tactical Prithvi and long-range Agni, have been inducted into the Services.
		This is especially troubling since the North Korean and Chinese missiles are known to fly with far superior terminal guidance technologies.
		The IGMDP should have wrapped up each of the projects by December 1995 using Rs 388.83 Crore, but it got a 10-year extension from the then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao after the then DRDO chief APJ Abdul Kalam managed to convince him that only a two-three year extension was not acceptable.

		This spawned the rather primitive liquid-fuel Prithvi missile with a 150-250 km-range after the government launched the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) to develop a family of strategic and tactical missiles in 1983.
		Whatever the causes, the failure is a major setback to the IGMDP.
		It means a direct loss of Rs 200 crore, the missile’s cost, which is probably of the same order as the GSLV-F02’s, plus the costs of development, redesign, additional personnel etc.
