India's Integrated Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) was started in 1982-83 by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) under the chairmanship of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam. Agni, Prithvi, Trishul, Akash, Nag and Astra also form part of the IGMDP and DRDO is working on the development of specialized missiles.
1. Agni: The Agni missile family is envisaged to be the mainstay of the Indian Missile based strategic nuclear deterrence.
2. Prithvi: 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. Prithvi was the first missile to be developed as a part of IGMDP.
3. Akash: It is a medium range, theatre defence, surface to air missile.
4. Trishul: It is a short range, quick reaction, all weather surface to air missile designed to counter a low level attack. It has a range of 9 km.
5. Nag: It is third generation, all weather, top attack, fire and gorget anti tank guided missile.
6. Astra: Astra is the state of the art beyond visual range, air to air missile designed for a range of over 80 km in head on mode and 20 km in tail chase mode.
