India Canisterised Missile Systems and MIRV Development

under development

India is advancing its nuclear missile technology by developing canisterised missile systems that allow nuclear warheads to be stored and transported pre-mounted onto missiles in sealed containers. This development marks a major doctrinal shift enabling faster launch readiness and a more flexible deterrence strategy. Additionally, India is speculated to be working on future missiles equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), which would significantly increase strike capability and survivability.
