The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defence system to protect from ballistic missile attack Namely the Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) missile for high altitude interception

About the PDV Test :

the PDV interceptor and the two stage target equipped with motors were specially developed for the mission. The target, developed for mimicking a 'hostile Ballistic Missile approaching from more than 2000 km away', was launched at 0907 hrs from a Ship in the Bay of Bengal

"In an automated operation, radar based detection and tracking system detected and tracked the enemy's ballistic missile. The computer network with the help of data received from Radars predicted the Trajectory of the incoming Ballistic Missile,"

PDV that was kept fully ready, took-off from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Wheeler Island, about 100 km from here, once the computer system gave the necessary command for lift-of

Once the Missile crossed atmosphere, the Heat Shield ejected and the IR (Infrared) Seeker dome opened to look at the target location as designated by the Mission Computer. With the help of Inertial Guidance and IR Seeker the Missile moved for interception.
