The Ghauri-II (Urdu:غوری-اا; official codename: Hatf–VA Ghauri–II), is a surface-to-surface medium range guided ballistic missile designed and developed by the Khan Research Laboratories. It is a single-stage liquid fuel missile system and a longer ranged variant of the Ghauri-I. The development of ''Ghauri-II'' took place in a direct response to India's Agni II. It was developed by increasing the length of the motor assembly and using improved propellants.〔(Missiles of the World )〕〔(Pakistan’s Long Range Ballistic Missiles: A View From IDEAS )〕 The Ghauri–II enjoyed distinction of being Pakistan's longest range missile until its limit was exceeded by the successful launch of the Shaheen-II which was tested in 2004. ==Design== The Ghauri-II missile has a maximum range of . It is 18.0 m in length, has a diameter of 1.35 m and a launch weight of 17,800 kg. Its payload is a single separating warhead weighing 1,200 kg, or as low as 750 kg for use at its maximum range.〔 This may used to carry a 250 kg warhead of a 15 to 30 kt yield nuclear, HE or sub-munition warhead. The missile uses a single-stage liquid propellant rocket motor. The Ghauri-II design improves accuracy by an employing mechanisms that spin the single booster stage and warhead combination approximately 10 seconds before the termination of the powered flight phase at 110 seconds.〔(Federation of American Scientists )〕 At this point, the warhead is then separated from the booster stage to fly on a re-entry trajectory that remains stable to its target, greatly enhancing the missile's accuracy. With the addition of GPS targeting the warhead accuracy is further enhanced.〔 Like most Pakistani missile systems, transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicles are used to transport and launch Ghauri II. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghauri-II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
