		Nag, which is currently validating its twin "guidance" options - electromagnetic (millimetric wave radar) and optical (imaging infrared) - was designed as a "fire and forget" top attack system.
		The tactical battlefield missile Prithvi was the first weapon system in the Indian programme to transit from breadboard to prototype to production version, and the Government has made no secret of the fact that it is inducting the weapon, that is, raising regiments of the Army specifically to deploy Prithvi.
		Indeed, the global arsenal of missiles includes known tactical missile delivery systems of the surface-to-surface type to which Prithvi belongs, where a nuclear warhead is an option.

		The missile has a range of 4 to 6 km and is capable of penetrating most types of armour.
		8)these type of missiles are classified as third generation missiels(they are fire and forget ex;nag and hellfire),second gen missiles are computer guided and require continuous guidance for example the pakistani missile bakhtar shikan,the first generation missiles are wire guided,not only are they cumbersome but also require continuous guidance the best example is the tow missile.
		offcourse the nag's warhead is capable of defeating all the modern era's with a direct hit,i believe it has a 6 kg tandem warhead(not exactly sure though,will try to find more info on it).

		The first Agni missiles achieved a maximum range of 1,500 kilometers, covering all of Pakistan and large areas of southwestern China, but the combination of first-stage solid fuel and second-stage liquid fuel propulsion systems made deployment and launch operations clumsy and immobile, requiring half a day of preparation.
		A past RAND study argued that a missile with a range of 3,500 to 5,000 kilometers was necessary to put China’s most valued assets at risk.
		Despite its pursuit of ballistic missiles, however, India’s most likely delivery platforms for the time being are its fighter-bomber aircraft, as a classified internal review conducted by the Indian air force in the summer of 2001 says.

	The Hindu Business Line : NAG test-fired successfully
		NAG's successful test flight on June 10 makes it the only missile in the world today to have four distinctive capabilities rolled in one and thus is most advanced, Dr Prahlada told Business Line.
		The capabilities include imaging infrared technology, which helps in distinguishing a tank from other vehicles accurately; ability to hit a reach of 4 km; fire and forget feature and finally an on-board missile guidance to ensure that the weapon hits the heavily armoured battle tank from top and inflict maximum damage, the DRDL Director explained.
		The NAG missile has hit static targets with five times accuracy and some more tests will be done to exhibit its full reach and features, Mr Mishra said.

		After missile enters atmosphere at 100Km altitude it generates blunt shock wave so hot (~4000 C) that plasma is produced and its signature is loud and clear to IR sensor, that too against cold space), further the decoys don't work as well to mask the RV.
		The âdefenderâ missile which was to be test fired from the Wheelers Island after five seconds of the test firing of the âattackerâ missile from Chandipur was to hit the later and destroy it.
		The fact that the Prithvi name is being used for the air-defence missile is interesting, given that the missile is a derivative of the Devil SSM project, whose engine in turn was based on a reverse-engineered air defence missile.
