Self-explanatory – All the given statements are correct.
India plans to deploy a two tiered BMD system to protect important cities from external threats.
•BMD system can intercept incoming missiles both at exo-atmopshere and endo-atmosphere altitudes
•Exo-atmopshere is altitudes between 47 and 80 km and endo-atmosphere is below 40 km altitude.
India’s BMD shield is a two-tiered defense system, with –
•Prithvi Air Defense (PAD) / Pradyumna Ballistic Missile Interceptor destroying missiles at exo-atmospheric altitudes of 50–80 kilometers (31–50 miles).
•Advanced Air Defense (AAD)/ Ashvin Advanced Defense interceptor missile at endo-atmosphere altitudes of 20-40 kilometers (12-24 miles).
