		Surya, the ICBM Missile, will be able to carry nuclear warheads up to 2,000 km.
		Defence Week said that approximately an amount of $50 million is being spent to develop the missile, which is expected to be fielded by mid-2001.
		WASHINGTON: Defence Week reported that India is developing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with a range of more than 5,000 km.

	MissileThreat :: Surya-1/2
		The Surya is an intercontinental-range, surface-based, solid- and liquid-propellant ballistic missile.
		The first test flight of the Surya-1 is expected in 2005 and the missile is expected to enter service in 2008.
		However, the development of a true ICBM such as the Surya will make almost any strategic target within China vulnerable, and decrease India& relative weakness.

	India Building ICBM's - Will Be Able To Threaten The West
		If the Surya achieves a range of 12,000 kms, India would have the capability of positioning the missile at New Delhi and striking U.S. targets that lie on, and north of, a range-arc running from about Raleigh, North Carolina to Omaha, Nebraska to Eugene, Oregon.
		As for its armament, the Surya's warhead is likely to be composed of essentially the same technology as that used in the maneuvering warhead of the Agni.
		Once it has confidence in its thermonuclear warhead and the Agni's re-entry vehicle, the Surya could be unveiled and tested quickly if Indian policymakers judge that it is needed and are prepared to accept the international heat for such a development.

		The ICBM would probably be a three-stage ballistic missile with solid fuel rockets in the first and second stages, and a liquid propellant rocket in the third stage.
		ICBMs are differentiated by maximum range from other ballistic missiles like intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs), short-range ballistic missiles, and the newly named theatre ballistic missiles.
		They also pointed out that there would be no monetary constraint for the project since many of the systems for the ICBM are similar to the current Agni missile which has already shown success and are being developed.

	Pakistani Defence Forum -> India Developing Agni-4 Icbm : U S Agencies
		SURYA is 12,000 kms range missile, the AGNI-4 has shorter range compared to SURYA.
		In the long term we need to get satellites into space, lots of them, to improve communication for the conventional forces, make the cruise missile a real threat by having in it running on real time processing, basically give us a huge eye in the sky, as well as paving the way for ICBM’s.
		What India is doing now is to develop an ICBM which is all weather usable, solid stage, easy to use and fire type, mobile in both road and rail, as small as possible and easy to hide, GP system controlled or satellite controlled, in ecxess of 14000 kms etc.

		The need for acceleration of Surya-I and Surya-II has arisen because of the introduction of such missiles into Asia, coupled with the maturing of India& capabilities for missile production.
		India is developing an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) and it will be ready for launch by mid-2001, the US weekly defense news says.
		An advanced version of nuclear-capable Surya will be developed once the first model has been tested, it said.

		The status of the Surya [Sun] ICBM program is extremely unclear, with some report indicating that the development of this system was initiated in 1994.

	Surya ICBM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Surya ICBM is a intercontinental ballistic missile under development in India.
		It is expected to be in service by the end of 2020 but current political issues with neighboring Pakistan may affect the status of the program.
		The political need for a Indian ICBM is low so many analyst feel it will be over a decade before any manufacturing/deployment plans for possible ICBM.

	An FAQ of the Surya ICBM Project [india-defence.com]
		Yes, development of the ICBM is part of the integrated guided missile development programme and the nuclear submarine programme that DRDO has engaged in over the years.
		The ICBM is being developed by combining the technology of the Agni II with that of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.
		According to officials involved in the project, the ICBM is likely to be test-fired by 2008.

	Opening Statement of David R Tanks,
		The Surya is believed to have begun development in 1994 and could be ready for testing within the next year or two (although U.S. diplomatic maneuvering may be slowing the program).
		North Korea wants to develop an ICBM as a means of deterring the United States; its TD-2 missile is believed to be a part of that program.
		It is expected that parts of the PSLV are being incorporated into the rumored Surya ICBM.

	Ballistic missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, a missile with a range of 3000 km fired at a target that is only 500 km away could arrive at its target after having reached an altitude of about 1200 km —roughly the height reached by ICBMs.
		Using a missile with a considerably longer range than the distance from launch site to target can make sense: it can reach a higher altitude and come down with a higher speed, making defense more difficult.

		The Surya is under wraps for now because we don't require that capability, but the successful PSLV-2 project means that we now do have the capability for an ICBM, it's just whether we need it or not.
		I don't think you will be hearing anything about Surya until Agni-III is fired successfully or for about 1-2 years.
		But this technology will be more productive in the Space sector.

	[Grapevine] For 4 May, 2001
		Surya is based on a combination of liquid and solid-propulsion technology, and is a variant of India's Agni missiles which have a range of over 2,000 km.
		The Surya missile project was begun in 1994, using cryogenic technology developed at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre Laboratories in Thiruvananthapuram and guidance technologies from the geo-stationary launch vehicle effort, the report said.
		Surya's test-bed will be a single-stage liquid-fuel rocket based on cryogenic engine technology.

	Rediff On The NeT: PM, Fernandes make confusing statements on missile programme
		Curiously, however, in a recent interview to Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, Defence Minister Fernandes asserted that the government had no plan to develop the Agni III intermediate range ballistic missile with a range of 3500km or the inter-continental ballistic missile Surya with a range of more than 8400km.
		Therefore, his assertion to the Japanese paper that the government does not plan to develop Agni III or Surya has left defence circles confused.
		Defence analysts had said after the Agni II test that India had achieved "total mastery" over missile technology and Agni III would be tested soon.

		Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) sources say that program to develop Surya is likely to cost $50 million and the missile will be ready for launch by mid-2001.
		They also propose building an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by using a "high-energy storable liquid propellant." Another plan under consideration is to dispense with the two-stage propulsion system in the Agni and replace it with an all solid-propulsion system.

		In addition, India is known to be developing the Sagarika (Oceanic) ship- and submarine-launched cruise missile with a range of some 300 km, and speculation persists about the existence on an ICBM programme known as Surya (Sun).
		Whilst the status of the Surya ICBM programme is unclear, some reports suggest that it is now underway and will be based largely on India& SLV programme.
		Given the advanced nature of India& Space Launch Vehicle (SLV) programme, the existence of the Surya system must be a strong possibility.
