DRDO has conducted the first successful flight test of Agni-5 missile equipped with MIRV technology. What is the full form of MIRV?

The correct answer is Multiple Independently Targetable Re-Entry Vehicle.

Explanation:
MIRV is a technology used in ballistic missiles. Unlike conventional missiles, which carry a single warhead to a single target, a MIRV-equipped missile allows a single launcher to deliver multiple warheads. Each of these warheads can be directed to strike a completely different target, vastly increasing the effectiveness of the missile system and making it harder for missile defense systems to intercept them.

Breaking down the acronym:
• M (Multiple): Indicates that the missile carries more than one warhead.
• I (Independently): Specifies that each warhead can be guided separately from the others.
• R (Re-Entry): Refers to the warheads entering the Earth's atmosphere from space during the terminal phase of flight.
• V (Vehicle): Represents the physical spacecraft or capsule housing the payload/warhead that performs the re-entry.

Therefore, the full form of MIRV is Multiple Independently Targetable Re-Entry Vehicle.
