INTERIM TEST RANGE, BALASORE, ORISSA
 

For launching missiles, rockets and flight test vehicles, a dedicated range known as Interim Test Range (ITR) was established in 1989. A number of test vehicles of different class including multirole missile Trishul, multitarget capability missile Akash, the antitank Nag missile, the most precise surface-to-surface missile Prithvi and the large scale technology demonstrator Agni have been test fired from this range. With its versatile technical and scientific capability, ITR has also supported a number of other missions such as Multibarrel Rocket Launcher—Pinaka and Pilotless Target Aircraft (PTA).

         The range is spread over a length of 17 km along the sea coast where a number of tracking instruments have been deployed to cover the total flight path of the test vehicles. Some of the significant test facilities at ITR are:
 

  • Electro-Optical Tracking System (Mobile and Fixed)

  • S-Band Tracking Radar (KAMA-N) (Mobile)

  • C-Band Tracking Radar (PCMC) (Fixed)

  • Telemetry System (Fixed and Mobile)

  • Range Computer

  • CCTV System

  • Photo Processing System

  • Meteorological System

  • Range Safety System
