I think its a new more advanced guidance and navigation system. They are using Prithvi as test vehicle for various new technologies.

The only problem i see with Prithvi is despite small range the missile is too huge. Strategically having such a huge missile in the nuke arsenal is not helpful. It can be spotted very easily through satellites and hence experts consider prithvi as a disadvantage for India.

But, its with love for pakistan from India. And pakistan don't have a spy satellites forget about grid of satellites.

Soon it will be replaced with the canister launched Shaurya missile which is slick and hybrid. We don't need prithvi anymore.

To take out the target in the range of Prithvi missile we can easily hide it inside India no need to have it in border areas like Prithvi with shorter range.

Orissa. The Launch was carried out as part of the
regular training exercise of the Armed Forces.
Prithvi-II, the first indigenous surface to surface
strategic Missile, capable of attacking targets at
ranges of 350 kms, reached the predefined target
in the Bay of Bengal with a very high accuracy of
better than 10 meters. All the Radars, Electro-
optical systems located along the coast have
tracked and monitored the Missile throughout the
flight path. An Indian Naval ship located near the
target witnessed the final event.

carried out by the Armed Forces, monitored by
the Scientists of DRDO. The flight test of the
Prithvi-II met all the Mission objectives and was
like a text book launch. Dr. V.K. Saraswat,
Scientific Adviser to Raksha Mantri and Secretary
Defence R & D, witnessed the launch operations
and congratulated the Armed Forces and
Scientists for the successful flight test. Shri VLN
Rao, Programme Director AD, Shri SK Ray,
