NEW DELHI: The Prithvi-II missile , results showed, was more accurate than Pakistani variants. The surface-to-surface Prithvi-II achieved single digit accuracy which was better than the results achieved by the Pakistan Army for missiles of the same range. The close to zero circular error probability was achieved due to an improved aided inertial navigation system, said sources here. The 350 km-range missile also has the features to deceive anti-ballistic missiles. The missile was taken from routine production and was part of the Army’s efforts to familiarise itself with its features. The missile covered 350 km in just over eight minutes reaching a peak altitude of 43.5 km. Defence Minister A. K. Antony congratulated the scientists behind the launch including Chief Controller of Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) V. K. Saraswat, Test Range Director S. P. Dash and Project Director D. S. Reddy.
