Orissa, Dec 6: All preparations have been completed in Orissa, for the test firing of country's most modern Anti-Missile Air Defence (AMD) System today.

The range integration of inner wheeler Island and Integrated Test Range (ITR) Chandipur have also been concluded.

According to ITR sources, the Endo-atmospheric test will attempt to hit an incoming missile within the earth's atmosphere.

The advanced anti-missile defence system will be slightly better than the American Patriot Advanced Capability - 3 (PAC-3) in terms of range and altitude of interception.

Meanwhile, the villagers living near Chandipur have been advised to shift to temporary shelters.
